Frameless bifolds
Do frameless bifolds need any extra requirements than normal bifolds? And how energy efficient and weatherproof are they?
Expert Trade Answers
"If there frameless, that means they should be internal bi fold or out door living ones, either way look great but not efficient at all."

"No the energy efficiency comes mainly from the glass not the frame although the frames will have a foam insert in to help reduce heat loss.
They're waterproof but I wouldn't use them for example on a coastal property in direct wind.
All systems are tested and need to meet minimum requirements.
Do you have a system in mind?"
