Ask any homeowner what would most improve their property and the answer is highly likely to be ‘more space’. In many cases, moving to a bigger property is not an option, so homeowners are faced with the prospect of adapting their current property to make it feel more spacious.

One of the most effective ways to create the illusion of space is to use bi-fold doors. The additional light that floods in instantly opens up the existing space, while the unrestricted views through the doors give the impression of a much bigger room.

Recent research shows that using bi-fold doors to create an instantly accessible ‘outroom’ between the home and the garden gives a property a whole new dynamic. Significantly, 98% of home owners expressed that their homes felt bigger and 85% believed that their rooms now receive more natural daylight. In addition to the extra living space, an ‘outroom’ can also add up to 6% to the property value.
