Extension bifold doors or sliding doors?

Choose the right glazing for your extension


Both extension bifold doors and extension sliding doors can open up your new living space, bring in more natural light and create a stronger connection with the garden. The right choice depends on how wide you want the opening to be, the views you want to preserve and how you plan to use the space day to day.

Rex can help you compare the different layouts, frame styles and glazing options so the doors work with the design of your extension as well as the way you live.

What glazing options are available on a hup! extension?

Rex specifies extension bifold doors, extension sliding doors, and house extension windows based on the room's layout and light requirements. As established glazing specialists in Maidstone, glazing decisions are made from fitting experience rather than a standard default.

Does more glazing reduce an extension's energy efficiency?

No. Home extension glazing on a hup! project is specified to the same U-value standard as the surrounding walls, so choosing bifold or sliding doors for more natural light does not create a weak point in the extension's overall thermal performance.

Can Rex advise on the best door option for my extension?

Yes, as glazing specialists before becoming a hup! Network Partner, Rex can advise on extension bifold doors versus extension sliding doors based on the specific Maidstone room, its aspect, and how the space will actually be used.
