The Climadoor Range of Crittall-Style Internal Bifold Doors

The Crittall-style internal bifold door system sits among the most popular of our Heritage door range, and it's easy to see why. Wooden Crittall-style doors echo the industrial styling of traditional steel doors but with all of the innovation that comes with modern manufacturing. As a result, they don’t suffer the heavy weight or awkwardness that traditional steel doors do.

In fact, our interior bifold doors are made with solid core engineered timber, a material that is perfect for internal door manufacturing. Robust and durable, our wooden Crittall-style bifold doors have a satisfying, quality feel while still being lightweight and easy to use.

The large glass panels of our heritage doors follow a black grid-like design that helps recreate the minimalist steel frame structure of traditional industrial doors typical of the late 19th centuary. And whilst originally this served a structural purpose, these days it’s more decorational - so you don’t have to worry about durability.

These are internal bifold doors that add a beautiful art deco appearance as well as plenty of functional benefits to your home.

With bifold internal doors, you are able to remove the divide between rooms. This type of interior door folds back completely, to leave the whole opening clear. It turns two separate living spaces into one. Our Crittall-style room dividers are even top hung with no bottom track, making them as flexible and convenient as possible.

All of our glazed internal bifolds feature toughened clear glass to keep your home as safe as it is stylish. The large glazed panels typical of steel-look doors allow natural light to flow between your rooms, and this makes them a perfect choice for rooms that are short on natural sunlight.

The Crittall-style internal bifold door range is available with 2, 3, 4 and 5 leaf configurations with a range of opening patterns. Shootbolts can also be added to create a traffic door and you can choose between various leaf sizes to fit openings from 1135mm wide right up to 2943mm wide.

The engineered solid core of these doors also means you can trim up to 6mm from each door should it be required. All the heritage bifolding internal doors are supplied with running gear, hinges, head track and dropbolts, so you don’t have to worry about fitting once they arrive either. The only thing you’ll need to do is choose your door handles!

Iconic Interior Door Design

In the late 19th century, in a small family run ironmongery in Essex, UK, Crittall doors were created. They started life in industrial settings and public buildings like factories and the Houses of Parliament. These types of expansive buildings needed plenty of sunlight, but making large glass panels that were safe and easy to produce was no easy task.

So, they came up with a practical solution: sturdy yet slimline steel frames that would divide but also support the glass while still allowing maximum flow of light. And just like that, the iconic industrial-style doors we still love today were born!

Named after their inventor, Francis Henry Crittall, these distinctive windows and doors became symbols of the industrial revolution, and they've stood the test of time to, inspiring designers and architects alike across the world for over century. And would you believe it? The original Crittall Windows company is still producing them today.

Want to continue that industrial vibe out into the garden? Why not check out our range of external Crittall-style doors too.

Questions about Crittall-Style Internal Bifold Doors

Are Crittall-style wooden doors good?

If you're looking to open up your living space, making it feel brighter, bigger and more open plan, then Crittall-style internal bifold doors are an excellent option.

Just like the traditional steel doors they echo, the large glass panels in these doors let natural light flow beautifully between rooms. This makes them a great choice for connecting a smaller room with a larger one, as you will still be able to soak up all that extra light even when the door is closed.

One of the reasons Crittall-style wooden bifold doors are particularly popular is their distinctive industrial steel look. Coupled with high-spec manufacturing standards, there really is no reason not to consider them as an option for your internal doors.

Can you get industrial-style bifolds?

Yes! When it comes to industrial-style internal doors, bifold door styles just make sense and here at Climadoor, we're very proud to be one of only a few manufacturers offering them on a click-to-buy basis - making purchasing them even easier.

Crittall-style internal doors were designed to recreate the look of traditional Crittall steel doors. These doors mostly featured in factories and public buildings where soaring ceilings and full height steel windows created bright open-plan spaces. On the other side of the coin, bifolding doors are a relatively new concept designed to make modern living easier, so combining the two styles meant that something completely different could grace our homes.

Of course, most modern homes don't share these cavernous dimensions and fully open plan living isn't always appropriate in an age of homeworking and busy families. The slender frames and large glass panels of all Crittall-style room dividers go some way to addressing this and are by far the most flexible way of tackling these conflicting needs.

Do Crittall-style bifold doors add value to your home?

One of the big benefits of internal bifold doors is that they can increase the value of your property.

Open-plan living is so desirable that estate agents have identified it as a selling point. A set of big, bright bifold doors can create the feel of an airy, open space, making it more appealing to buyers and steel-look bifold doors are no exception. 

Desirability is one of the drivers of increasing the value of your home. This means that a set of bifold doors can actually be a long-term financial investment - one that can ultimately end up paying for itself.

Do Crittall- style internal bifolds need a track?

All internal bifold doors open by pushing runners along a track to concertina the door panels to one side and leave the doorway open. This means they will always need a track.

However, our premium range of Crittall-style interior bifold doors are manufactured to be top hung only. This means they operate on only one track which is fixed to the upper door frame. This removes the need for a bottom track, leaving a seamless walkway between two rooms when the door is open.

Internal bifold doors that require a bottom track can pose a trip hazard (or toe-stubbing risk!) if they’re not flush with the floor, as well as remove any continuity of flooring between rooms.
