Patio door options and upgrades.
Replacing french doors with bifold.
Take your bi fold door out of the closet and off the track if it isn t already.
Measure and mark where you ll be putting the hinges.
For example if you were considering replacing the french doors leading to your wardrobe or kitchen pantry with bifold doors it wouldn t be half as complicated a job.
While patio doors can replace external french doors bifold doors can be installed internally or externally.
As a final spruce up replace the door hardware with something a little snazzier.
Determine which way the doors will be facing and which one will be on the right and left when you hang them.
Many of the pros and cons listed above would still apply though minus the lighting and view points of course.
Unscrew and remove the track and any.
Bifold doors are made up of between 2 7 panels that fold into each other when opened leaving a spacious walk through to the next room or garden.
I didn t just hate the look of the bi fold doors i also hated the fact that they were bi fold doors.
So that is the basics behind the face lift.
I decided to take this makeover one step further.
If your main priority is space it may be worth reminding yourself of the fact that bi fold doors take up less space as there s no protruding door when it s open since it just folds in on itself.
