fancy option on our doors
We need more info!
And for Bifold vs French vs Sliding doors
Slide and pivot doors also an option. The slimness of sliding doors with the ability to fully open like bi-folds. Each pane slides independently to the opening point and then pivots open so a different technique but removes the clunkiness of bi-folds.

When I looked at those a few years ago they were way down on efficiency because it was tricky to get them to seal well. They may have moved on of course.

sorry poorly written - just saying the Maxlight triple is slightly fancy (thin frame and slides in both directions).

I really wanted a pivot door, but even IQ Glass were hesitant to recommend their own product.

I've been really impressed with Rationel in terms of price, options, thermal efficiency.
There was a Grand Designs episode in Dulwich this most recent season and the woman found a very reasonable supplier in Romania(?) and went direct to them with her Architect/builder. So it could be worth looking at. Also there is several good reddit threads on this type of thing which I found really useful for looking at peoples experience post install. We're going for a bit of a fancy option on our doors with Maxlight but the most important point here seemed to be reliability - I read too many cases of bi-folds breaking and being a pita to resolve. That just put me off.
