Introduction

Bifold doors are a great way to add a touch of modernity to your living space. Warren Window's range of bifold doors offers an elegant and practical solution to opening up your home to the outdoors. However, before you dive headfirst into the installation process, it's important to ensure that the wall opening is accurately sized to ensure a seamless installation and optimal functionality.

Measuring the Wall Opening

To begin, measuring the wall opening should be done with utmost precision. You should measure the width of the opening at three different points, taking note of the smallest measurement. Next, measure the height from the floor to the top of the opening, considering any flooring variations. Deduct approximately 10-12mm from both the width and height measurements to allow for smooth operation and clearance.

Standard Sizes for Bifold Doors

Bi-fold doors are typically available in standard sizes. When working with an even number of doors, it is recommended to ensure that each individual door leaf is a minimum of 28 inches wide. Conversely, when working with an odd number of doors, each door should have a width of at least 16 inches. It is important to note that the common height for bi-fold doors is typically 80 inches. These standard sizes can be readily found at various hardware stores, providing convenient options for homeowners seeking to incorporate bi-fold doors into their living spaces.
