Home improvements, and thoughts of them, can invoke many emotions – stress, excitement, oh no I have no money left, these kinds of things. But it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think it might be. Stackable doors, or bi-fold doors or stacking doors as they are also known as, can add a lot to your home. Let’s take a stroll through some of the great benefits of installing stackable doors.
- Energy Efficiency – In a world that is now more than ever, dedicated to being more energy efficient, stackable doors can provide this. We all want to get the heating on during the winter months, and put the air con on full blast when it’s roasting hot outside, but high-quality stackable doors will aid in reducing heat loss, and also are more efficient at keeping interiors cool during the summer months. Who doesn’t like saving some money on energy bills and doing your bit for the environment?
- Enhanced Natural Light and Views – Natural light is good for us, and can help lift our mood. That is, of course, if you live in a nice, sunny country. It’s a little harder if you’re living in the hills of Scotland, or a fjord in Sweden, but nonetheless, stackable doors can provide greater natural light and views, and so you won’t need to keep all your lights on in the home, thus saving money and energy (refer to point 1).

- Security Features – Security is a big one for the home. A home should be safe and secure, even though we don’t want to think about that, but there are some bad people out there who may want something you have. With a high-quality stackable door, also comes toughened glass and a top of the line locking mechanism, meaning you will sleep better at night, knowing you, your family and belongings are a lot safer.
- Improved Indoor-Outdoor Flow – If you have a patio, garden, or decking that you like to use, and enjoy hosting BBQ’s, cook-offs, or just a party because you can, then stackable doors are a perfect fit for your home. Guests can move easily between the indoor and outdoor areas of your home, creating an environment that fosters comfort and relaxation, which helps the drinks flow and everyone will end of feeling merrier and enjoy themselves more.
- Space Efficiency – For those of you who are living in a smaller space, and you value every inch of your home, stackable doors may suit you well. They use far less space than your traditional swinging doors, and give you the opportunity to use that space for all those bits and bobs you’ve accumulated over the years.
Stackable doors may not sound fashionable or sheik, but they can be both when popped into a home correctly. From safety, right up to practicality, they are a great choice for houses, big and small. Click here for more information on home where you are.
