Modern Internal Bifold Doors

The Express Doors Direct Modern Internal Bifold Doors Range

Modern Bifold Doors are popular and eye-catching. They create a contemporary look that keeps your home looking current and fresh.

Internal bifold doors are uniquely flexible, providing a balance between open plan living and private rooms. Should you want to embrace an open layout, bifold doors can be pushed back to create a free-flowing space. However, bifold doors can easily cover wide doorways to section off distinct spaces or rooms should you require privacy.

What are Internal Bifold Doors?

Internal bifold doors are a type of folding door, also known as concertina doors. They operate on a track system which allows the multiple hinged door panels to fold together neatly when opened. Much like an accordion, bifold doors can cover a wide space when stretched closed and fold into a compact space when opened. Bifold doors are also popular as modern bifold patio doors. These external bifolding doors operate the same as their internal counterparts but are designed with security and weatherproofing in mind.

Internal folding doors are an attractive and practical choice that is well-suited to wide doorways. Our internal bifold doors are top hung, meaning the track is hidden in the top of the doorframe, instead of set into the floor. This helps create a flowing feel between rooms when the doors are open. Our interior bifold doors are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate a variety of doorways and rooms.

Why Choose Modern Internal Bifold Doors?

Modern internal bifold doors can be an asset to your home. They offer contemporary style for the up to date home. Open plan living spaces are becoming more popular, whether they are designed into new build houses or created by knocking down walls during renovations. Internal bifold doors won't impact a modern open plan space when opened but will offer private rooms when wanted. This allows you the best of both worlds when it comes to privacy and a modern living area.

Some of the many benefits of contemporary internal bifold doors are:

• Increased light flow: when open, bifold doors will let light flow unobstructed through your home. This can brighten up your living space, combining light from multiple sources. If you choose glazed internal folding doors, you can enjoy increased light flow even with the doors shut.
• Versatility: internal bifold doors are available in a wide variety of designs, from the traditional to the modern. We have something for every home within our range - just take a look. Whether you want a specific style, finish, material or colour, there will be an option for you.
• Perfect for larger doorways: standard internal doors are side hung with hinges on one vertical side. This limits the width it can be as otherwise the weight distribution would become a problem. Bifold doors don't have such limitations as they operate on a horizontal track mechanism. This allows them to cover larger openings with ease.

Style Options for Modern Internal Bi fold Doors

As mentioned above, internal bi fold doors are very versatile when it comes to style. With so many style choices available, there is sure to be a bi fold door within our range to suit your interior! Let's take a look at some of the design options for your modern bi folding doors:

Glazing

Whether or not you opt for glass panels in your bi fold doors will impact both their style and practicality. Bi fold doors with glass will improve light flow within your home and so if this is something you're concerned about, glazing in your doors is vital. There are many styles of glazing to choose from, from plain glass to frosted glass and decorative glass panels. For a modern feel, large and simple glass panes - in either clear or frosted glass - work well.

Modern bi fold doors don't have to include glass though. Unglazed doors made from solid panels can look just as chic. Our range includes many contemporary style internal bi fold doors, from minimal Shaker styles to elegant patterns such as our vertical slat Mexicano range.

Finish

The finish of your internal bi folding doors can range from fully finished, ready to hang doors to unfinished doors which you can paint and personalise. Our range has options for all needs.

• Fully finished/prefinished: these bifold doors have been professionally finished and are ready to hang. They have been completed for you in whatever finish you desire, whether that's wax, varnish, paint or something else.
• Primed: these bifold doors have been white primed for you, meaning the door is ready to be painted. If you have a specific paint colour in mind for your doors, potentially to match existing decor, primed bifold doors are the ideal solution.
• Unfinished: these bifold doors have had no finish applied to them at all. This allows you to stain, wax, oil, paint or finish the doors in any other way you choose.

Colours & Materials

Our range of internal bifold doors includes many different colours and materials so there is something to suit any interior style. For a modern home, our white bifold doors are a good choice. White folding doors look simple, fresh and modern, as well as having the added benefit of keeping a room feeling bright and airy. If you appreciate the elegance of real wood, our selection of oak bifold doors would also be well-suited to contemporary homes. Oak bifold doors offer a quality feel and the neutral colour of oak will complement most modern homes.
