Different uses for Glass Bifolding Doors

Many homeowners are choosing bifolding doors for their home improvement projects did you also know that bifolding doors actually have several uses in other buildings as well?

But what other uses for glass bifolding doors are there?

We already know that folding doors are excellent for connecting the inside of your property to your garden.

Bifolding doors for Flats and Apartments

With many modern apartments now featuring balconies, bifolding doors are ideal here. Compared to French doors, bifolds actually take up less space.

Even if you have a two pane bifolding door, the folding nature of this product ensures you are not left with leaves that have to stay open in a virtual 90 degree position like french doors.

Bifolding doors can also be made larger than typical french doors used in flats. This means there is no need for sidelights or stoplights often found with these products. The concertina effect of how bifolding doors open can help make the most of limited space.

Bifolding doors as room dividers

Did you know that slim doors with minimal framing are ideal as a glass room divider?

Studios are an excellent example of small spaces where glass doors can provide solutions. Studios can be separated with a bifolding door providing that much needed separate room but without losing out on light and space as you would with a dividing wall or partition.

Bifolding doors in Restaurants and Bars.

With town centres undergoing significant transformation in recent years you will not have failed to notice the increase in coffee shops, bars or restaurants with dedicated outside space.

Bifolding doors are now used more and more in commercial units and shops. For any business that serves food or drink, bifolding doors make the premises inviting and attractive with the al fresco feel.

During the winter months, glazed doors still provide an open appearance but it it in the summer that they really come into their own opening up an entire frontage and making any food or drink business appear busy, welcoming and inviting.

Bifolding doors can give you an extra room.

Our frameless glass doors are excellent if you have large rooms or an open space that you wish to divide. Perhaps you are looking to create a work space, a playroom for the children or any other kind of room.

Seek the right advice from a bifolding door professional and you can create that extra room whilst still enjoying maximum light and making the most of your available space.

Bifolding doors in Offices.

in this architects practice, our all glass doors help create privacy whilst retaining an open plan feel.

Open plan working is very much the way modern businesses lay out their offices. However for meeting rooms, interview rooms or any other kind of private environment needed in the workspace, glass doors are ideal.

What our customers say

We are absolutely delighted with the doors, they are so classy and modern. Paul (FGC) was excellent and knew his job. The workmanship is superb. All our friends and family think they are fantastic. Thank you once again.

We had a small issue with the opening door, we contacted FGC and they arranged for a team to come. They sorted the issue very quickly then cleaned the runners and door seals, fully tested the operation of the doors and carried an additional mod on the door handle. All done and dusted with an hour. Great

We are delighted with the glass doors and so grateful that completion was before Christmas! We would be happy for anyone to come and see the installation and would recommend your company as polite, efficient and totally professional.

Our FGC sliding doors were installed in May 2018. Although we have had two relatively minor problems – neither of which stopped the doors from working – FGC have attended very promptly to carry out remedial action. Excellent customer service from head office and excellent service from install technicians. Many visitors comment most favourably on appearance and functionality. Overall rating 10 out of

In addition to the quality of the product – which is stunning, and head an shoulders above anything else on the market – the ongoing support and maintenance is impressive. I had a small issue with the doors recently and their maintenance team came back within 48 hours to resolve everything whilst giving the doors a complete service. Very happy and I would

A brief note to thank you for your services in supplying two sets of doors and two fixed panels. From the start of contact with your company you have been very professional and communication has been excellent. The panels now installed look amazing and appearance when compared with usual bi folds or other types of door has to be seen. There is no comparison! The product is expensive but price should not be compared with

I cannot rate this company highly enough & would highly recommend them to

We had been looking for ages for the solution to fill two large spaces leading from the house to our new Orangery. From the moment Gary showed us the product at Partridge Farm we knew it was just what we wanted. A year later and we are still delighted. We broke one of the glass handles the other day and they have just left after fixing a replacement FOC. Hows that for service?

We moved last year and wanted to maximise the view right through from the rear to the front of the building, overlooking the river. After much searching we found FGC, who installed internal glass doors between the rooms. FGC were very efficient and although we are in the North they sorted out a subsequent small problem promptly. FGC are not cheap but they had what we wanted and we’re delighted with

FGC fitters Mick and Baz arrived at 0754hr ready to begin work. They were polite, helpful and fitted in seamlessly with the existing project team responsible for the restoration of this significant village property. The boys worked without fuss, cheerful with a ‘can do’ attitude taking the time to explain the system as they fitted it. The house belongs to Simon Menzies an old friend from the Army, he and his wife were not present,

As to how we were from initial contact (were we polite)? Adrian was very passionate about the product and did a good job in promoting it. We were very impressed with the factory visit to see process from start to finish. Always found Adrian very helpful and communicative throughout the process. Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) All arrived on time.  Were we clean and tidy? Yes

All of our dealings with FGC have been great. They are professional, friendly and accommodating. Our glass curtain is wonderful and we love it even more than we thought we would. The few little settling in issues we’ve had have been dealt with so quickly and their technical team are incredibly easy to deal with. We can’t praise them highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
