2400mm Doors Vs French and Sliding Doors

Compared to French and sliding doors, bifold doors are incredibly space-efficient. While French doors require a large amount of space to swing open, and sliding doors use up wall space when opened, bifold doors fold neatly to one side, maximizing floor space and making them an ideal choice for homes with limited room. Bifold doors are often equipped with advanced locking systems, such as multi-point locks and anti-lift features, making them a secure option for your home. In comparison to French doors, which can be more vulnerable to forced entry due to their multiple panels, bifold doors provide an added layer of security.

How To Measure For 2.4m Bifold Doors

Measuring for 2.4m bifold doors is a crucial step to ensure a proper fit and smooth operation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to measure for 2.4m bifold doors, but remember - installing bifold doors can be tricky, so hiring a professional tradesman is always recommended.

• Determine the location: Choose the area where you want to install the bifold doors. Make sure there are no obstructions, such as electrical outlets, vents, or pipes in the proposed location.
• Measure the opening width: Using a tape measure, measure the width of the opening from one side to the other at three points – top, middle, and bottom. Record the smallest measurement, as this will be the most critical dimension to consider when ordering your doors.
• Measure the opening height: Measure the height of the opening from the floor to the underside of the lintel at both the left and right sides. Record the smallest measurement, as this will determine the maximum height of your bifold doors.
• Check for squareness: Using a spirit level, ensure that the opening is square by checking the vertical and horizontal alignment. If the opening is not square, you may need to make adjustments to the opening or consider a custom-sized bifold door.
• Consider the door's configuration: Determine the number of panels you want in your bifold door system and how they will be divided. For a 2.4m bifold door, you can typically choose between three or four panels. Remember that the more panels you have, the narrower each panel will be.
• Allow for fitting tolerances: When ordering your 2400mm bifold doors, it's essential to account for fitting tolerances. Generally, you should subtract 10mm from the width and height measurements to allow for small adjustments during installation. This ensures a snug and secure fit.
• Measure the threshold: Consider the type of threshold you want for your bifold doors, as this will affect the overall height. There are three common threshold options: standard (with a step), low, and flush. Each has its benefits and considerations in terms of accessibility, weather protection, and aesthetics.

Once you have the correct measurements and desired configuration, you can order your 2.4m bifold doors, confident that they will fit perfectly in your space. Always seek professional advice if you're unsure about any aspect of the measuring process.
