Okay, we tell a lie. We have three ranges when it comes to bifold doors. This blog will briefly explain the differences and what specific terms mean. Of course, your choices will always come down to your taste, property and budget. 

Some say you can see the UK’s double-glazing market from space. There’s absolutely no shortage of companies throughout the country willing to sell you doors and windows, and with so much choice, it can be difficult to know what to look for.

Bifold doors are just big windows with hinges, right? Yes, kind of. But there’s a lot more to them, from their clever, hidden features to the way they’re built, and even their surprising thermal properties and sustainability benefits. 

Let’s not let the humble bifold hog the limelight. There are several other types of window that are a worthy addition to a building project, whether you’re building from the ground up or renovating.

Whether you believe in climate change or not, it’s clear that we must be mindful of the methods and materials that we use to build and improve our homes. We explore the benefits of aluminium to the environment.

Picture the scene. You’ve just had your lovely new bifold doors installed, and there are already dog nose marks at the bottom and grubby fingerprints near the handle. So how can you keep your new investment looking new?

In 2022, we launched our Home Hub Academy. This is our very own training facility, providing recruits with an 18 month programme of classroom work, hands-on work and coursework.

Are all doors not created equal? We like to think so. But with the recent popularity of bifold doors taking up all the limelight, it’s important to give sliding doors and French doors a look-in too. We sell all three kinds of doors at Home Hub. 

We look into just how and why bi-fold doors represent a good investment, and also some of the angles that you maybe haven’t considered.

Bifold door installation is a momentous occasion for any homeowner. The end result is a beautiful new feature point in your home, but at what cost? Is the installation process disruptive? Messy? Frustrating? Well, we don’t think so. 

Aluminium is THE core component of bifold doors. Excluding glass, that is. It’s an incredible material but how does it compare to uPVC and timber doors and windows?

Quality of life can be momentarily disturbed doing projects large and small, but on the other side of the glass, quality of life can be vastly improved with bifold doors, windows and rooflights. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why.

Aluminium is a bit of an unsung hero when it comes to modern day materials. It’s all around us – in the products we use, the houses we live in and even the cars we drive. But it goes mostly unseen.
