Complete Indoor-Outdoor Connection

When fully open, bi-fold windows effectively remove the wall between inside and outside. The panels fold to occupy approximately 15-20% of the frame width at one end, leaving the remaining 80-85% completely open. This degree of openness is not achievable with sliding or stacker windows of the same frame width. For alfresco entertaining areas, kitchen serveries, and home bars, bi-fold windows are the most effective solution for creating a genuine indoor-outdoor transition.

Kitchen Servery Windows

The kitchen servery is one of the most common applications for bi-fold windows. A wide servery window connecting the kitchen bench to an outdoor entertaining area allows food and drinks to be passed through, provides natural ventilation to the kitchen, and creates a social connection between inside and outside during gatherings. Bi-fold windows in this application are typically installed at bench height with a low sill, maximising the practical width of the serving opening when fully open.

Common Questions

Bi-Fold uPVC Windows — FAQ

What size openings can bi-fold windows cover? +

Novalite bi-fold windows are custom manufactured to your opening dimensions. Standard panel widths range from approximately 450mm to 900mm per panel. A 4-panel set typically covers openings between 1.8m and 3.6m wide. Larger openings can be accommodated with additional panels. Contact us with your dimensions for a specific recommendation.

Do bi-fold windows need a floor track? +

Novalite bi-fold windows use a top-hung system with a slim guide channel at the sill level. The guide channel is very low-profile to minimise obstruction and allow comfortable transition over the sill. The primary load is carried by the top track.

Are uPVC bi-fold windows better than aluminium bi-fold windows? +

For thermal performance, yes. Aluminium frames conduct heat readily, meaning aluminium bi-fold windows perform poorly as thermal barriers. uPVC multi-chambered profiles provide genuine insulation. For homes in Melbourne where energy efficiency is a priority, uPVC bi-fold windows are the better specification.
