Why Choose Bifold Patio Doors for a Movable Glass Wall

You can achieve a moveable glass wall look with sliding glass patio doors but bi-fold doors have several advantages over sliding patio doors. The added width of bi-fold patio doors offers bigger views. Plus, the panels stack on top of each other on patio bi-fold doors when opened for a wide opening and freer movement between the indoors and outdoors. When closed, bi-fold doors enhance views with additional panels for more expansive scenes.
