Bi-Fold uPVC Windows Melbourne
Bi-fold windows open accordion-style, with all panels folding and stacking at one end of the opening to leave the entire frame width clear. For a kitchen servery window connecting to an outdoor entertaining area, or a wide living area window that you want to fully open on warm Melbourne evenings, bi-fold windows create the most complete indoor-outdoor connection of any window style. Novalite manufactures bi-fold uPVC windows with double glazed units throughout and smooth-running top-hung hardware.

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.
