these create an almost completely clear opening when all panels been folded, as seen here. They also offer ease of access than conventional sliding doors do not provide. "When many folding door systems incorporate a" door traffic ", that is not the case with sliding doors, Cooper said. "A gate of the movement functions as a normal rear door and allows entry and quick exit without having to open the entire bifold system.
However, Bifolds does have some drawbacks, one being the amount of the frame on the screen when closed. 'While sliding patio doors will not create such an impressive clear opening, they offer the maximum glass area with the minimum amount of framework, which makes for impressive panoramic views, even when they are closed, "says Cooper.
"Sure, folding doors take more space when they are open, too, so it should be considered for small gardens or kitchens, "she adds.

pocket doors
are sliding doors that have been specially designed to fit in a pocket in a wall. The track and the frame for sliding doors are integrated into the pocket to allow the door to slip away into the wall, creating a fully open aperture.
The number of panels that slide away in the wall will determine the pocket depth is needed. "Each component must have its own sliding track is 60mm deep, so if you want to have three glass panels moving in the slip pocket, you'd need a bag that is at least 180mm depth," says Clayton .
"The whole depth of the pocket door is suitable for residential," she continues. "Several sliding flap pocket doors are best suited to new construction because of the profound nature of the pockets," she adds.

'pocket doors must be planned in a building design in advance because of the space required in a wall, "advises Clayton. "You need to think about the composition of the wall to ensure you have the necessary insulation while leaving space for the pocket inside. In addition, due to the thickness required depth for sliding door, multiple pocket doors glazing are not really suitable for new construction or properties large extensions, where this depth can be designed in the wall structure at an early stage .

Find the right floor
Use the same or similar floor inside and outside for connecting both spaces. This works especially well when the doors are opened, as an area flow into each other. Natural stone is a timeless solution, but more affordable porcelain tiles are a great alternative. "Now there, outside quality porcelain tiles that match new interior options, things got much easier, says Barker.
porcelain tiles have other advantages. For example, they can be made to look like natural stone, without the associated maintenance problems. "Some manufacturers make Italian porcelain tiles that are so realistic, it's almost impossible to tell the difference between them and the natural stone, said Simon Welch Tile Supply Solutions. In addition, they work well with underfloor heating inside.

Be smart with plants
There are many other ways you can maximize the feeling of continuity between the exterior and interior spaces - even if you are only working with a kitchen in a top floor apartment.
'I love great interior foliage - trees literally put inside the kitchen. Look for large trees with leaves widest possible to be totally on trend. The good old ficus is hard to beat and difficult to destroy, even if you do not have green fingers. People crave a nature connection, which is a great way to start, "suggested Barker.
'If not, fill two large planters with ferns one for indoors and one with ferns and outdoors. Place them in front of each other - inside and outside - to connect the spaces.
