Having A Single Storey Rear Extension Built? Folding Wooden Doors Can Make All The Difference

During these tricky economic times, an increasing number of individuals are preferring to extend their current houses to gain the necessary additional space, as opposed to risking the greater outlay of a move to an alternative house. With crazy stamp duty and agents fees, this can be a smart move as very often the costs linked to a move can set you back the complete price of a single storey extension on an existing house.

Usually this involves increasing the living space downstairs in some way, with a double or single storey back extension as a common option. In the interest of this article we will assume that a single storey is the chosen option.

It is really common for this sort of extension to run across the rear of the house, or perhaps even to wrap around the rear and side. However it is designed, there will without doubt be superb gains in the kitchen or dining area, or perhaps both. In the event the work does call for building out the rear of the property, we will have a great opportunity to incorporate the very popular wooden bi-folding doors. These are worth taking into consideration at this stage as it would be far easier to incorporate them into the design instead of being forced to modify things at a later point in time.

So what on earth can be so nice about these wooden doors you may ask? Well anyone who has been in any household which has these doors fully opened on a warm day will know precisely what I'm saying. They give the impression that the entire rear of the house has been peeled back, producing a remarkably open and relaxing feel and look. It truly is as if the outside is brought into the downstairs living area. Lovely! Another fantastic aspect of these doors is that they are extremely simple to operate, allowing for very simple one handed functionality.

One other important point is with wood being the construction material used, the finish can be stained, varnished or painted to fit your household's interior and exterior flawlessly. They are also easily maintained to give them a really long life.

These wooden bi-folding doors undoubtedly are a enormous improvement over the old-style white UPVC sliding patio doors. They might cost a little more money but the gains are significant. In case you haven't had the chance to see a set of bi-fold doors actually in operation ask your local seller, I'm sure they'll have a previous client who'll be only too thrilled to show off their pride and joy.

A word of warning - viewing these doors in operation may get you hooked. Yes, they are that nice.
