What is the difference between a bifold door unit and a multifold door unit?
The prefix of the word bifold of course is bi, which means two; therefore Bifold doors are always done in pairs, with two doors folding to one side, or with four doors, split in the center of the opening, and two doors folding back to each side. Most standard bifold door units sold do not exceed six feet in total width. Multi-fold doors are designed to be used where folding doors are needed to cover a wider than normal area. Depending on the hardware, door sections from 12″ – 42″ wide can be used. Multi-fold doors can be used for residential and commercial applications as room dividers, hall dividers, etc.
