GLAZING<br />
When we think about our homes, it’s really the windows<br />
<strong>and</strong> doors that create the wow factor. We are all so<br />
keen to flood our properties with natural light <strong>and</strong> the<br />
constantly evolving technology in the world of glazing is<br />
making some truly astonishing designs achievable, not to<br />
mention more affordable than ever.<br />
Whether you are self-building, extending or even<br />
renovating your home, apportioning budget to windows<br />
<strong>and</strong> doors is a savvy move. As well as making your home<br />
more valuable - 69% of people say that light rooms make<br />
them more inclined to buy - investing in clever glazing can<br />
make you fall in love with your space once more.<br />
BI-FOLD vs SLIDING<br />
DOORS<br />
Bi-fold:<br />
PROS - for those looking for that wonderful sense of a<br />
garden room that brings the outside in, bi-folds can help<br />
create the sense of one open-plan space as the panels<br />
fold away fully to the walls.<br />
CONS - an expensive option - poorly constructed bi-folds<br />
can also suffer from air-tightness issues around the joins<br />
so do your research <strong>and</strong> get guarantees.<br />
Sliding:<br />
PROS - generally cheaper than bi-fold doors, sliding<br />
doors also have fewer frame elements, meaning when<br />
they are closed your view is less obstructed.<br />
CONS - you won’t get the full, uninterrupted view of the<br />
garden - instead only a portion of the doors are openable.<br />
Bi-fold<br />
Sliding<br />
69% of people say that light rooms make<br />

clever glazing can make you fall in love with<br />
your space once more...<br />
