DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
MAKING THE MOST OF ALL SEASONS
David Knollman of Brio UK discusses how homeowners can take advantage of each season with versatile sliding and folding door systems .
If there ’ s one thing we ’ re known for in Britain , it ’ s our temperamental weather ( and how we love to complain about it ). Between the fleeting summers , blustering winds and bitter winters , our seasons can be wildly unpredictable - making it difficult for homeowners to stay prepared and enjoy their living spaces .
Each year , as the months pass by , homes can struggle to acclimatise to a varied spectrum of weather conditions and temperatures , leading many to believe they ’ re unable to experience the best that combined indoor and outdoor living can offer .
Yet , modern sliding and folding door systems may often hold the answers , by combining aesthetic space-saving features with practical versatility .
In fact , sliding and folding door applications can completely transform contemporary homes by reinventing the barriers between indoor and outdoor living . Offering a unique flexibility to projects , sliding and bi-fold doors provide households with a host of benefits all year round , from aesthetic summer views to energy cost savings in winter . So , how can homeowners reap the rewards whilst complementing their living space ?
AESTHETICALLY PRAGMATIC
