Inspiration for 2026
As the year draws to a close and the festive season approaches, many homeowners find themselves with a little extra time to relax, reflect, and plan ahead. Christmas downtime is the perfect opportunity to think about future home improvements, gather inspiration, and start shaping ideas for the year ahead.
At Bedfordshire Windows, 2025 has been another busy and rewarding year, with a wide range of installations completed across Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas. From contemporary aluminium bifold doors to classic window upgrades, our recent projects showcase how the right glazing choices can completely transform a home. If you’re already thinking ahead to your 2026 upgrades, here’s some inspiration from our best installations of the year.
Aluminium bifold doors that transform living spaces
One of the standout trends this year has been the continued popularity of aluminium bifold doors. Homeowners are looking for ways to open up their living spaces and strengthen the connection between indoors and outdoors.
We’ve installed aluminium bifolds in a variety of properties, from modern extensions to traditional family homes. Their slim frames allow for expansive glass panels, flooding kitchens and living areas with natural light while maintaining excellent thermal performance.
Why homeowners love aluminium bifold doors:
Wide openings that are perfect for entertaining
Modern, clean sightlines
Durable, low-maintenance frames
Excellent energy efficiency when paired with high-performance glazing
Many customers planning home improvement projects in Bedford choose bifolds as the centrepiece of their renovation, and it’s easy to see why.
Bifolds in real homes
Throughout the year, we’ve completed numerous bifolds installations across Bedfordshire, each tailored to suit the property and lifestyle of the homeowner. From rear garden openings to side returns and extensions, bifold doors have proven to be one of the most versatile glazing options available.
Some of our favourite projects include:
Open-plan kitchen diners transformed with four-panel bifolds
Compact spaces made brighter with three-panel configurations
Seamless transitions to patios using flush thresholds
These installations highlight how bifolds can work just as well in modest homes as they do in larger properties, making them a strong option for a wide range of homeowners in Bedford and beyond.
