Bifolding doors for garage conversions

Our bifolding doors for garage conversions let you take an old unused garage and turn it into a great new space for work, play or as a guest suite.  In this article, we explain why our frameless slide and fold doors are one of the best ways to turn an unused garage into a new room in your home.

Frameless bifolding doors for garage conversions.

Our frameless bifolding doors are suitable for any kind of garage or storage area whether the garage is attached to your home or as a separate building.

  • Single or double garages.
  • Suitable for outbuildings.
  • Can add value to your property.
  • Provides a new way to enjoy your garden away from the main house.
  • Frees up space in your house.

Why consider a frameless sliding and fold door for your garage conversion?

A sliding or bifolding door is the best type of door in a garage conversion but the popular full-framed versions come with their limitations.

Sliding doors are an excellent choice for flooding the room with light and providing a ‘glass wall’ when closed. The bigger glass panels of sliding doors will turn this smaller space, often with only one side of the garage having a door, into a light-filled space.  However sliding doors will only give you 50% of the available clear opening with a double track or two-thirds opening with a triple track.

Bifolding doors allow you to open up the entire wall to create a wonderful open space in the summer months.  However, bifolding doors have the disadvantage of smaller glass panels and more vertical aluminium mullions.

Our frameless bifolding doors are sliding and folding doors in one great product.

Our frameless slide and fold doors come with both the benefit of uninterrupted glass area provided by sliding doors as well as the fully open aspect when you want it, of bifolding doors.

  • Offers the uninterrupted views of sliding doors.
  • The convenience of bifolding doors.
  • The functional traffic door found in bifolds for everyday use.
  • Huge choice of colours.
  • A lower weathered threshold than bifolding or sliding doors.
  • From two up to multiple panels.

The benefits of frameless bifolding doors for garage conversions.

Our frameless bifolding doors are a great choice if you are thinking of converting your garage into a habitable or usable space.  They provide all the security, energy efficiency and reliability you expect from a quality product. They also come with other great benefits too.

Unique frameless design.

The frameless design with no visible mullions is unique to our product where other doors marketed as frameless actually have aluminium or plastic trim on the glass edges.  Our doors use our patented glass spacer bar and engineered gaskets where the doors meet. No aluminium, no visible mullions, no uninterrupted views.

Suitable for any kind of access required.

The convenient main door found in our slide and fold doors lets you use your doors every day without having to fold the rest of the panels back.  All our door panels work independently giving you not only a traffic door when you want it, but the flexibility of sliding each panel exactly where you want it for ventilation.

Greater control of how you use your doors.

Our doors also give you more flexibility in your room as well. The design of our doors lets you place furniture right up against the doors even if they open inwards – something you can’t do with a conventional bifold.  And only our doors give you both the views of a sliding door and the open aspect of a folding door.

Customise your doors as you want them.

For your garage conversion, you can customise your doors with a big selection of colours, a choice of contemporary door furniture.

What our customers say

After visiting a NT stately home which had a glass porch entry I asked fgc to see if they could do one for us. I had the vestiges of a porch with brick sides but no front. The installation made the entrance a feature which is declared up market and interesting. It is a halfway point for exotic plants, deliveries and keeps draughts out. Modern but understated. The support team is good and responds fast.

After researching the market for a contemporary sliding minimal frame patio door, we were delighted to come across Frameless Glass Curtains. We were so pleased with the doors we ordered another set for the dining room and were not let down – the service we received was consistently good from staff both in and out of the office. From the start they have been knowledgeable, polite and happy to spend time helping us with our

Dear Frameless Glass Curtains, I would thoroughly recommend anyone to use your company. Your product is excellent and the installers were delightful: on time, tidy, quick, cheerful. An initial problem was dealt with immediately. The doors have changed how I feel about living in my small house; they have made the sitting room feel double the size as the walled garden now looks like a second room. Everyone admires them. There you are, my official

We were recommended to use FGC by our builder and one of us visited a client who had recently had his installation. We have been hampered with delays regarding our lounge where the doors were being installed so it was refreshing to have FGC arrive at 8am and be finsihed installing and waiting for a sign off by 1pm. The work was quick efficient and faultless. We would highly recommend the product and the service

Regarding your service I would like to make the following comments Web site, initial contact and service My wife saw a product similar to FGC Glass Curtains whilst on holiday. After undertaking a lot of searching on the internet we came across FGC. FGC offered a product we could not find anywhere else, i.e. a true frameless glass product, no side borders, only the top and bottom running rails. The product looked as if you

Couldn’t be happier with the product, it really has enhanced the vision that we had for our lounge and our garden. I was also so impressed with the manner and knowledge of your fitters who were not only very engaging but were also so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the item they were installing.
