Further information about Internal Bi-Fold Doors

If you’re looking for the perfect internal bifold door for your home, we think you’ll find a set to suit your home in our collection. Whether you prefer the gravity of oak internal bi-fold doors or the bright, airy light flow of bifold doors with large glass panels, our bifold doors range will include door styles for you to consider.

What Are The Benefits Of Internal Bifold Doors?

Interior bifold doors are incredibly popular as thanks to their concertina folding method, they’re great for limited space and look incredible. With your bi-fold doors open, the multiple rooms can be drawn together into one large living space, with the freedom to separate the rooms again any time you choose.

But bifold doors aren’t the only type of internal folding doors you can choose from.

Anyone that loves the classic look of internal french doors but needs to prioritise space should explore our folding french doors. Much like our concertina doors, French folding door sets are able to fold back a full 180 degrees when opened so they can sit flush against the wall.

For people who love that traditional image of throwing their doors open, traditional French doors might be a better choice than bifold doors. French doors have maintained their popularity for their timeless style.

Still, bifold doors must be considered the best room divider to use when you’re trying to recreate open plan living spaces in your home.

Internal Bifold Doors To Suit Every Home

It is hard to resist the functional appeal of interior folding doors. Installing internal bifold door sets can completely change the way your living space functions.

Whether you want to bring your dining room and kitchen together to create a comfortable social space or want to let natural light flood through your home, new internal bifold doors can bring a whole new feel to your home.

Internal Bifold Doors: Unfinished, Primed & Pre-Finished

Depending on how much additional time you want to spend on your bifold door, our bifold doors are available in a range of finishes.

Unfinished internal bifold doors

We offer doors that are supplied unfinished for anyone wanting to take their project to the next step. The Repute Unfinished 4 Light comes in unfinished oak and has no lacquer or paint. The timber of these bifold doors is completely bare, ready for you to add your own finish. These internal doors are excellent if you have a very specific colour scheme you want to use in your living room, or wherever you hang your new internal bifold doors.

With an unfinished oak door, you get to choose what to do with the colour. Whether it’s staining the wood, or covering in a layer of primer so that you can paint it the colour of your choosing. Our unfinished oak doors are perfect for the chronic DIY-er.

White primed internal bifold doors

You can also choose white primed bi-fold doors, like the Repute Primed 4 Light, which are professionally primed so you can finish painting them at home. This gives you an even coat on which you can add your finishing colour.

Pre-finished internal bifold doors

A pre-finished bifold door is ready to be hung as soon as it’s delivered like the Vision Finished 4 Light. These offer the most convenience and come in an Oak finish. If you’re looking for something a little different, our Repute Mirrored Oak 4 Light range offers a fully finished oak with mirrored glazing as an option. These doors are perfect for closet doors, where glazing won’t have much of an effect, and for bedroom doors, where extra privacy is needed.

Black Internal Bifold Doors

If you’re looking for a sleek and timeless look, then our Vision Heritage black bifolds are just what you need. You can choose between single full-size glazing, which comes in both clear (Vision Heritage 1 Light) and frosted (Vision heritage 1 Light Frosted), and 4 panel glazing in clear (Vision Heritage 4 Light), each type provides a distinct look for your new room. With a door that looks as good as these, it’s hard to complain about such a low-maintenance option.

Internal Bifold doors: Mirrored, glazed, or solid panels

We offer a wide range of internal bifold doors to perfectly suit your home. As well as being space-saving, our bifold doors can brighten up your room with glazing or help you maintain your privacy with solid panels. We offer both clear glass and frosted glass options across our internal bifold doors range, as well as mirrored and solid panels for exceptional privacy.

Take a look below for our various ranges of either glazed or solid panels.

Frosted Glazing

Some customers prefer frosted glass as it gives the privacy of a solid bifold door, like the Repute Primed Frosted internal bi-fold door. Frosted glass doesn’t let in as much natural light as clear glazing, but it will still help your room feel brighter and airier. Frosted glass comes with additional benefits as well; glazed panels are easier to clean than clear glass, offers more thermal efficiency, and adds a bit of elegance to a home.

Clear Glazing

If frosted glass isn’t your style, then we also offer clear glazing options, like the Vision Primed internal bi-fold door, let in lots of natural light and will help your space feel bigger, even when the doors are closed.

Mirrored Glazing

Don’t miss out on the option of an open plan living just because one room needs a bit of extra privacy! Mirrored glazing is a fantastic way to fully close off certain rooms while still having the option of an open plan living space. Unlike solid panels, mirrored glazing gives the illusion of a larger living spaces when the doors are closed while brightening the room. Our Repute Mirrored Oak 4 Light range is a finished oak veneer bifold door set that does just this! These doors are perfect for use in a bedroom, office, dining room, or closet.

If you’d prefer solid panels then look no further, because we offer those as well!

Solid Panels

While, traditionally, bi-fold internal doors make use of large glass panels to help create an open plan feel even when closed, some customers prefer a solid bifold door, such as the Vision Primed 4 Panel. Our solid panels range gives you more privacy when you require it with the option to open your living space when you want to.

Softwood or Hardwood Room Dividers

We offer internal bifold doors made from softwood and hardwood so we can make sure there are options for every style and budget.

Our hardwood, oak veneered internal bifold doors combine a classic solid wood look with an engineered core. This creates heavyweight internal bifold doors that offer all the benefits of solid wood, with added stability and durability.

Alternatively, our white primed softwood interior bifold doors provide a slightly more flexible look than an engineered oak veneered door. However, they still feature the same solid core, meaning they offer the same longevity, same weight and same high-quality as our hardwood internal bifold doors offer.

All Door Furniture And Hardware Included

Our internal bifold doors range include all the hardware you need to hang your doors. Hinges, runners and tracks are all included as are matching doorframes. If you need extra hardware of your bifold interior doors, you can always look at our door accessories too.

Do internal bifold doors need planning permission?

Unless renovating a listed building, you won’t need planning permission to install bifold doors in your home.

Do internal bifold doors need a track?

Yes. In order to open correctly, all internal folding doors need some kind of track to fit in when they fold back. This includes internal bifold doors.

However, when it comes to interior bifold doors, you do have a choice in how you hang them. You can choose between having them hung on a head track at the top or a bottom track.

Head track only bi-folding doors only have a track along the top of the door frame, which your bi-folding doors will use to open and close. This style of hanging is preferred by many because it allows you to have seamless transition between rooms. This style allows for less maintenance as you won’t have to clean the bottom track.

Both a bottom track and a top hung system will have a track along the top and bottom of your internal bi-folding doors. While this means you can’t have seamless flooring between rooms, it does offer more stability for your folding doors. A bottom track will need to be cleaned often to ensure that dirt doesn’t get in the way of the doors sliding.
