Which Feature Door Suits Your Space Best?

After enduring what felt like an eternity of chilly, miserable weather, the arrival of warm temperatures has us all eager to embrace the outdoors.

In Scotland, where the sun makes only occasional appearances, it’s essential to make the most of it. Adding a feature door to your home can be the perfect invitation to enjoy a more outdoor-oriented lifestyle throughout the spring and summer months.

At Bon Accord, we use the term “feature door” to encompass three distinct door products: bi-folding doors, patio doors, and French doors. Each of these door styles is a showpiece attraction, boasting superior designs and captivating openings.

Let’s delve into what each option offers to help you decide which one best suits your needs:

Bi-Folding Doors

The bi-folding door is currently the darling of the replacement door world, and it’s easy to see why.

Capable of spanning a considerable distance with up to 7 panels, it folds away with grace, creating a wide aperture for light to flood in and for you to traverse.

Its unbroken view is perfect for admiring distant hills or lush landscapes.

Patio Doors

Patio doors feature a smooth sliding functionality, with panels that move in a straight line from one side to the other.

This design requires no sacrifice of floor space, making it ideal for smaller homes.

While it may not offer a full wall opening, its extra-large panels maximise glazed areas, providing generously slim sightlines.

French Doors

Lastly, there are the timeless and elegant French doors, beloved since the 17th century and surprisingly inspired by Italian design.

With two halves that can be opened independently or together, French doors offer flexibility in transitioning between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Whether you prefer an inward or outward opening, French doors beckon you to step outside and savour the moment.
