Bi-fold doors are one of the most popular upgrades for modern homes. They don’t just look beautiful — they also bring in natural light, create seamless indoor-outdoor living, and boost property value. At DesignHome Windows & Doors, we specialize in high-quality bi-fold systems built to last.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you choose the right bi-fold door for your home.
⸻
1. Consider the Size of Your Opening
The first step is measuring your space. Bi-fold doors can be customized for small patios, large backyards, or even interior room dividers. If you have a wide opening, a multi-panel system may be the best choice. For smaller areas, a 2- or 3-panel system provides the same open-air effect without taking up too much room.

2. Choose the Right Frame Material
Your choice of frame affects durability, maintenance, and style.
• Aluminum – strong, slim, modern look, low maintenance.
• Vinyl – affordable, energy-efficient, resistant to weathering.
• Wood-Clad – adds warmth and a premium feel but requires more care.
At DesignHome, we offer all three options to match your design and budget.

3. Think About Energy Efficiency
A beautiful door should also perform. High-quality insulated glass helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing energy bills. Our bi-fold doors come with factory-standard insulated glass designed to prevent fogging and maintain clear views for years.

4. Pick the Right Hardware & Finishes
Hardware is not just about looks — it’s about performance. Smooth rollers, secure locking systems, and strong hinges make your door reliable and safe. Choose from modern matte black, classic stainless steel, or custom finishes to match your home’s style.

5. Plan for Professional Installation
Even the best door won’t perform well if installed incorrectly. DesignHome does not provide installation directly, but we work with trusted contractors and will guide you through the process. Proper installation ensures smooth operation, energy efficiency, and long-lasting performance.
