Slimline Internal Bifold Doors

The Express Doors Direct Slimline Internal Bifold Doors Range

Slimline internal bifold doors are specially designed to fit narrow door frames. Bifold doors are a good solution for wide entryways but if you only have a narrow, single leaf doorway, you can still enjoy the stylish look of folding doors with slimline bifolds. Slimline bifold doors often only include 2 panels that fold together when opened. In such a door, each panel would only take up half the width of a standard door when open, making slimline bifold doors a great choice for tight spaces.

PLEASE NOTE: For all Slimline Internal Bifold doors, the door leafs arrive shorter than the 1981mm shown, with the remaining space being accounted for in the track and running hardware.

Slimline bi fold doors across the home

Due to their neat size, slimline bi fold doors can be very versatile in their usage. Whereas larger bi folding doors may be best suited to large living areas, slimline bi fold doors can be used across the home. Some ways you may choose to use internal bi fold doors include:

Bifold wardrobe doors

Bi fold doors can be an effective choice for built-in wardrobes in bedrooms. They are a stylish and practical choice that can be seen as halfway between standard side-hinged doors and sliding doors. Their narrow leaf width suits openings too tight for a standard hinged or sliding wardrobe door.

• Panels fold flat against each other instead of swinging into the room, which works well for wardrobes in box rooms or tight bedroom layouts.
• Available in oak, pine or white, in fully finished, primed or unfinished options, so doors can be painted or stained to match existing wardrobes.
• Choose glazed (clear or frosted glass) panels for a lighter wardrobe front, or solid unglazed panels to keep contents fully hidden.

Bifold cupboard doors

Similarly to wardrobe doors, internal bi fold doors can be used for many different cupboards in the home. From playroom storage to home office organisation, bi fold doors can provide a neat and attractive frontage for your cupboards that need a narrow, space-saving front rather than a full-swing hinged door. 

• Because the panels fold back on themselves, they clear roughly half the width a hinged cupboard door would need.
• Doors are made to the UK's standard imperial internal door widths, so leaves are sized to fit typical UK cupboard and airing cupboard openings.
• Oak, pine and white options let cupboard doors be matched to kitchen or utility room cabinetry.

Bifold kitchen doors for pantries

Slimline bi fold doors can be a good choice for a kitchen pantry. With their neat profile and smooth operation, they can offer a more compact option than a standard door. Bi-fold kitchen doors are ideal for allowing access to your full pantry without taking up space in the room when opened. Beyond pantries, slimline bifold doors are also fitted to kitchen cupboards, larder units and utility openings where a full-swing cupboard door won't clear the worktop or an island. 

• The narrow panel width folds flat against the cabinet face, useful in galley kitchens or wherever clearance is tight.
• Glazed panels let you see into a cupboard or larder without opening it; solid panels keep open shelving hidden.
• White and oak finishes are available to match existing kitchen units and worktops.

Tight spaces

Wherever you might have a tight space within your home, slimline bi fold doors can be a good space-saving solution. Whether it’s for a box bedroom or an upstairs landing airing cupboard, the narrow width of slimline bi fold panels makes for a practical door. 

Style choices for slimline bifold doors

In our range of slimline internal bifold doors, we have choices to suit many different homes and interiors. With a range of materials, designs and finishes, there is something to suit all requirements. 

Finishes

Our slimline bifold doors come in 3 different finishes: fully finished, primed or unfinished. If you want a ready to hang, factory finished door then our finished bifold doors are for you. Primed doors allow you the chance to paint your bifold doors in any colour you wish. With the priming done for you, these are also known as part-finished doors. Lastly, you can opt for unfinished bifold doors. These doors tend to be a little cheaper if the price is a concern, but it does mean you will have to do the finishing yourself. However, if you are looking for a particular stain, wax or other finish, this allows you full control over the final result.

Materials

Our range of bifold doors covers several different timbers and styles. We offer slimline internal bifold doors in classic oak and pine. We also have a wide range of white bifold doors for a bright and modern look.

Glazing

Our slimline bifold doors come either glazed or unglazed. Glazed bifold doors have the benefit of increasing light flow between rooms which can help space feel brighter and bigger. If you are using your folding doors for a pantry or office space, glazed doors have the advantage of letting you see the contents of your cupboards. We offer a range of different styles of glass panel in our bifold doors, from the decorative to the minimal and modern. 

We also provide unglazed doors which are simply solid panels, without any glass. If you want to create privacy or hide away storage space for an uncluttered feel, unglazed bifold doors are a good choice.
