Bifold Door Handle

When you’re on the lookout for new handles for bifold doors, the Decor Handles team has you covered. Whether you’re about to move into a new space, or in the process of renovating your existing space, having access to high quality products coupled with expert advice is one way of making the process as seamless as possible. So which are the best handle types specifically for bifold doors? We’ve got everything you need to know right here, including more information about these special types of doors, and three of the best handles for you to consider. 


Bifold Doors Explained

A bifold door — also known as a folding door — is a type of door that opens in somewhat of an unconventional way. It opens by folding back into sections, which are typically referred to as panels. Although many of them have more than two panels, they are still referred to as bifold doors. Back in the day, these doors were referred to as concertina doors, meant to be a direct reference to the popular instrument that shares its name. While this door type is a concept that has been around for ages, it continues to be an easy way to bring a modern touch into any home or office space. 


Stainless Steel Handles

The first handle type to consider for this unique door is the tried-and-tested stainless steel option. These are a perfect fit thanks to their durability and impact resistance, especially for a door that is likely to be slid open and closed a couple of times in any given day. Stainless steel is corrosion fire and heat resistant too, without taking away from their aesthetically appealing nature. They also provide long term value in a way that is more sustainable than some of the other choices on the market.

Aluminium Bifold Door Handles

Another popular route to explore includes looking at aluminium bifold door handles. A sturdy and versatile material, aluminium has crept into modern design thanks to its cost-effective nature, along with the ability for it to pair beautifully with contemporary doors. These handles are ideal for doors with a rectangular or curved backplate. This is practical to not only make them look good, but also when it comes to hiding the entrance points of the previous door handles. This is useful to consider if you’re renovating, rather than buying fresh out of the box. 

 

Warmcore Bifold Handles

Also part of the aluminium family, armcore bifold handles are growing in popularity too. These interesting and innovative handles are part of a system that sets out to create intricate-yet-delicate framing solutions. These handles are beautifully curved and ideal for making sure the door sashes end up folding perfectly flat into position. Warmcore handles come in a variety of finishes too, allowing you to find something that not only works based on the design of the space, but also looks like something you can be very proud of. In no time at all, you’ll be enjoying the pleasure of having sturdy and stylish bifold doors in your home.
