Ideal Applications
Bi-fold doors fold back on themselves, reducing the swing space needed by a conventional hinged door. This makes them a practical choice for:
- Bathrooms and en-suites
- Built-in wardrobes and walk-in closets
- Pantry and linen cupboards
- Utility rooms and laundry alcoves
- Room dividers in open-plan layouts
Why MDF for Interior Doors?
MDF (medium-density fibreboard) provides a smooth, grain-free surface that accepts paint evenly without the raised grain common on timber doors. Hollow-core construction keeps the door lightweight, reducing stress on bi-fold hardware, while the MDF facing ensures a flat, consistent finish.
How Bi-Fold Doors Work
These doors operate on a hinge-based system, with no track required. The two leaves are joined using sinkless hinges, sold separately. One leaf is hinged to the door frame and the second leaf is hinged to the first. When opened, the two leaves fold together towards one side of the frame. Allow sufficient clearance for the folded doors.
