We’re seeing more and more use of the bifold/cantina doors, and you don’t need a big view to enjoy the benefits. Those who are remodeling an older home with a dated look might consider the bifolds as an instant upgrade into the 21st century!

I think these are amazing. As you stated they will update almost any style house. The only problem is they’re expensive, think 20k and up just for the doors if you want the durable ones. Maybe prices have come down more recently I was looking about 2 years ago.
I like how these massive openings provide easy entry for scores of insects, as well as local wildlife. Nothing like a surly raccoon, or willful bobcat staring you down while sitting atop your kitchen island counter. Helps people to remember they’re part of the food chain.
LOL – I left a door open yesterday just long enough for a bird to fly into the house. The way wifey responded, you would have thought a busload of terrorists had invaded!
I remember these bi-fold doors in Hawaii! It was in a 5,000sf rental home. The developers of my mom’s condo had to pay her rent while her condo was being fixed. (The developers balked at the rent and size of the place but I held strong since it was the only available rental near the hospital.)
The gorgeous rental home sat right on a golf course. One day, a golf ball–badly hooked from the tee–flew right through the bi-fold doors & landed right next to my mom who was sitting on the couch enjoying the view.
Being an avid golfer in her younger years (She played 3x/week), she loved retelling this story & that she lived through it…
