Bi-fold dilemma

Hi,

we are in the process of redesigning our kitchen diner and can't decide whether to have the new bi-folds in white or anthracite grey.


We want the outside of the door to be white to match the rest of the glazing on the back of the house but the inside will be so white (white kitchen, light walls etc) I'd also like an upright radiator in anthracite to break up the white and think the bi-folds would look better in the same colour.


Does anyone know if it's possible to have the bi-folds white on the outside and anthracite grey on the inside? If so is it much more expensive?


Many thanks in advance!

    Hi

    Aluminium bi-fold windows tend to be powder coated for a durable, long lasting finish. It is most economic to apply the finish to the whole frame so the same colour is on both sides.

    Changing the colour on the inside will cost more. The most cost effective way to do this might be to have the frames sprayed (over the powder coat finish) However this finish will not be as durable and resilient to scratching as the powder coat and as such may require touching up over time - this could be an issue and require the removal of the doors. Also it is worth considering how painting the doors affects any warranties that come with the doors.

    As a result of the cost and complications, it is normal for bi-folds to be in a single, factory finished colour.

    Hi,

    You can definitely get dual colour bifold doors! Personally I would go for Anthracite inside and outside, your bifold door is like your front door - a feature product. There is no reason why it needs to match all of your other windows on the back of the house, it's good to stand out!
