Bifold Closet Doors in Miami FL: The Newest Trends

By Chris Benson

My husband and I recently purchased a very run down, Victorian style house. It's previous owners had altered the internal design of the house, several times over. The ceilings were brought down to a height of 8 feet as opposed to 12 feet and much of the hardwood in the floors and trim was badly beaten. It was clear that we had a lot of work to do and we were going to need to consider the use of Bifold closet doors for some of the rooms.

If you want to go ahead and give your closet doors a good overhaul, then you need to know that there are different types available today, and these are hinged, bi-fold, accordion, and sliding closet doors.

Even sliding closet doors come with some disadvantages. When you slide open the closet doors, there will always be one side that remains closed. If your closet has dual sliding doors, then you can only access one area of your closet at a time.

Given that all of the molding and floors were of hardwood, we kept to this design, and had our doors made of the same wood. I wanted to break things up a bit so I had the company make the doors with stained glass panels.

Accordion. The Accordion or multi-fold closet door is quite common in condominiums and hotels. They take up little space and fold in lengths to reveal the contents inside. You don't necessary have to open everything when using this door type - just enough to reveal the content that you wish to get or store.

If your closet is wide enough, two bifold closet doors coming from opposite ends would be the solution of choice. The folds of the doors are usually too small to hang a full-length mirror on but creative decorating will make the closet blend into the architectural effects of your room.

Now that you have a general idea on the type for your closet doors, you can now proceed into picking out the best one that will fit the design of your home. For starters, you need to make sure that the make is similar to its surrounding. If you have an earthy design to your room, then you better make use of wooden closet doors to accentuate the theme.

The performance of the bifold closet door depends heavily on how well it glides on its rails. Due to this fact, it is advisable to have a professional install the bifold closet door for you. Once proper installation is done, all it takes is some grease on the rails to keep the doors operating smoothly
