This guide offers helpful tips, so read on to learn more.
Our Bifold Doors Are Fitted With Double Glazing As Standard
A key advantage of our concertina doors is that they are naturally energy efficient with advanced double glazing fitted as standard. At Abbey Windows, we work with market leaders such as Origin and AluK to supply their durable and strong concertina doors.
We fit all our aluminium concertina doors with advanced double or triple glazing as standard, which helps reflect natural heat into your home. This can help slash your energy bills, saving you plenty of money during the winter.
Choose the Right Curtains For Your Bifold Doors
When making your bifold doors thermally efficient, it is essential to pair them with thick, thermal curtains. These curtains are distinguished by their thick layers, which help trap the heat inside, ensuring that your home is warmer for winter.
When it comes to our aluminium bifold doors, it is important to choose full length curtains that connect from the ceiling to the floor. These curtains are suitable because they prevent gaps from seeping in. As a result, you will benefit from better insulation. Suitable curtain materials for your bifold doors include heavy fabrics such as velvet or wool, which can act as a thick barrier, resulting in a warmer home. Not only that, but they can add to that cosy winter feel.
Finally, you can use curtain tracks to open and close your curtains seamlessly. This helps you control the amount of sunlight and heat that enters your home, making the most of winter daylight.
Decorating your Aluminium Bifold Doors
So, you have selected curtains that can help you control the amount of light that enters your home. But you might be wondering how to add a personal touch to your home. In this next section, we will discuss ways you can make your aluminium bifold door stand out this winter. Take a look at some of our creative ideas.
Create a Warm and Inviting Seating Area
If you want to use your aluminium bifold doors to connect your conservatory to your outdoor space. If you want to make your space that extra bit cosy, consider adding plush cushions and a seating area. What’s more, our aluminium concertina doors are fitted with slim sightlines, giving you stunning panoramic views. This can help you enjoy your garden, delivering plenty of natural light. If you don’t have a seating area, you can think about adding some chairs to your living space or even transforming your conservatory into a dining area.
Place Rugs in Front Of Your Doors as A Draught Excluder
You can also add to the ambience of your living space by considering outdoor rugs for your concertina doors. These can double up as draught excluders, helping retain warm air in your home and creating an inviting atmosphere. Choose rugs with comforting colours to help your space become more inviting for you, your family, or your guests this winter.
Placing a Sofa In Front Of Your Doors Could Make Your Space Inviting
You might want to place furniture in front of your bifold doors to help improve your home’s energy efficiency levels. To do this, it is important that where the furniture is placed does not block access to natural light. With this in mind, choose furniture that can be easily moved around, as this can help preserve the beauty of your aluminium bifold doors while making them practical and functional.
