Most homeowners prefer to have what is called a ‘traffic door’ which is a single door that can be easily opened without the need to open any of the other doors. The best way to achieve a traffic door is to select an odd number of doors. It is possible to have a four and six bifold door set with a traffic door but the doors do not fold to one side which for some, looks more aesthetically pleasing.

Most people tend to open bifold doors outwards for two main reasons. Reason one is if it’s been raining, and the doors are wet on the outside, they won’t drip onto your flooring when open. This reduces the chance for mould to develop, especially if you have carpet adjacent to your bifold door. Reason two is because there is generally no issues with furniture getting in the way of the doors when they are open and will allow for a little extra space in your property.
