Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Mar 01, 2010 11:05 am I am considering building a Metricon Chelsea 37. The family/kitchen/Dining room at the showhome has two huge wooden bifold doors in an 'L' shape. one 4 panel which meets a 5 panel. There is no pillar/post in the corner and when both are open it looks fantastic as the whole space is open to the garden. My hubby is convinced they will be a nightmare for drafts in winter coming through the bottom bit where the sliders are and wonders if they will rattle in a high wind!!! Has anyone had these type doors and if so, any problems with drafts or any other advice good/bad?? Thanks Re: L-shape wooden bifold doors - Do they let in drafts? 2Mar 02, 2010 8:43 pm We have use stacker doors in the same way, even though we liked how the bifolds opened right up, we went the stacker door so we could screen them easily. I have pictures on them on our blog.

The weatherproofing is actually way better than on standard hinged doors. You don't see the seals when they're closed, but they do a great job.
