A Guide to the Best Bifold Door Colours for Your Home

A bifolding door is a perfect addition if you’re a homeowner looking to improve your interiors. Choosing the right system design, however, requires careful consideration – especially when it comes to selecting the best colour.

This decision will determine the appearance of your door’s aluminium framework and significantly alter the overall interior design scheme that you’re looking to create.

At Bifold Shop, we offer a wide range of colour options to ensure you find the perfect fit for your space. Whether you prefer classic neutrals or want to create a bold statement, we’re here to help. Before you make your decision, however, let’s first explore the options available.

Bifold Door Colour Overview

If you’re new to the construction and interior industry, you may be interested in learning a few basics. You’ve likely seen the term “RAL” used in conjunction with our bifold door options. This refers to a standardised colour, used in a variety of industries. In fact, you’ll often see this used with a series of numbers following it – it’s this that indicates the colour of your system.

Over the years, we’ve seen a wide range of bifold door designs installed, with black, white and grey continually acknowledged as the most popular choices.

Black Bifold Doors

Black aluminium doors are perfect if you want to modernise your home. This system has a timeless appearance, one that we’ve installed many times all over the UK, including this project which uses a matte black system (RAL 9005) with matching profiles.

“The quality of the finish is excellent and we are so happy with our beautiful new space.” – William

For this project in Oxford, our customer visited our showroom to ensure they were completely happy with their modern colour choice, before any installation took place.

Grey Bifold Doors

If you’re looking for something more subtle, try grey aluminium bifold doors. We offer a variety of different shades, ranging from light silver to anthracite grey, to add different depths and dimensions to your home’s interior. Once again, if you’re struggling to decide between colour options, we welcome you to see each option in person by visiting our showroom.

White Bifold Doors

Our white aluminium bifold doors are a classic that never goes out of style. Their crisp, clean appearance is popular for brightening any space (plus, they’re a well-kept secret amongst interior designers and architects, used to create a sense of openness and spaciousness).

Take this project in Battersea, for example. Prior to their bifold door installation, our customer had a small, dark kitchen space. We used bi-fold doors with a white, aluminium frame to open up and brighten their space, creating the ideal living area that every family dreams of.

“We knew that we would need a wraparound extension downstairs to achieve our desire for open plan living and although this would eat into our small garden, the installation of the Visofold 1000 3 Pane bifold doors in white would make the transition from inside to outside seamless and both these spaces would appear larger and more attractive.” – Lizzie

Bifold Door Design Considerations

Now you’re well versed in the wide range of bifolding door colours available, it’s time to consider other design factors. Our experts have shared their top tips and advice on features to consider that can help you determine the best system for your home:

Matching to Existing Windows – Whether you have PVCU windows or black aluminium frames, you may consider matching this with your bifold door profiles. Matching these systems will bring your house together to create a satisfying and cohesive finish.
Complementing Brick or Render – The existing exterior of your home, for example, brick or render, may also help you decide on the best bifold door colour for your space. We recommend choosing a colour that complements the tones and textures of your building to create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Consider Maintenance – Whilst our white bifolding doors look great and have a number of benefits for the home, they’ll require more upkeep than darker colours. This is simply because white shows dirt from rain more than others, so consider whether you’re willing to give them a clean every once in a while.
Matching Property Style – Finally, consider the type of building you have, whether it’s a new build or period property. The colour of your bi-folding doors can help to enhance their architectural character.
