Our guide will explore the benefits of internal Heritage bifold doors, how to choose the best option for your home, and which factors could affect the cost.

What are Internal Bifold Heritage Doors and How Do They Differ from Standard Bifold Doors?

Internal bifold Heritage doors, also known as AluSpace internal bifold doors at Vufold, are room dividers with a unique twist. Like all Heritage doors, they feature slim, black, “steel-look” frames and grid patterns designed to present an industrial aesthetic, combining traditional with contemporary.

Heritage internal bifold doors differ from standard bifold doors mainly due to their design. Standard bifold doors typically feature sleek, modern frames with larger panes for uninterrupted views. Heritage bifold doors feature glazing bars to present a more industrial aesthetic, with smaller panes. However, both feature slim sightlines to help you get more natural light into your home.

Benefits of Heritage bifold doors include:

·        Great natural light due to slim frames and larger glass panes

·        Space-saving option that takes up minimal space when open, unlike doors that swing open

·        They have the ability to create a flexible living space, allowing you create two separate rooms or create an open living space

·        Timeless style – Heritage doors are known for their “art deco” style, adding a contemporary aesthetic to both modern and traditional homes
