Most sliding glass door manufacturers will be able to advise you on the style of the bifold door before manufacture begins. Consideration needs to be given to the way that you would like to door to slide i.e. left to right or right to left.
Also when discussing you design brief with the manufacturing company ask to see a section of their profile. This enables you to decide how many panels you would like across the opening. Remember the more panels you have the less glass you have to see through.
Another excellent use of sliding folding glass doors is as an entrance to a conservatory that most of the year your want open but in the cooler winter months you want to close to keep the main house warmer.
