Thanks T Re: Kitchen bi fold windows 2Jan 20, 2013 6:00 am my daughter has them in her home and loves them. she had them installed after she moved into her house Re: Kitchen bi fold windows 3Jan 22, 2013 10:35 pm We have a huge window onto our deck and the window folds into four so can have half open or fully open. When we got the caesarstone bench installed we had an extra piece which protrudes approx 20cm as an shelf so when the window is open makes a nice servery and a really nice wide bench. I will try and take a photo when the kitchen is clean and tidy and post for you. Re: Kitchen bi fold windows 4Jan 22, 2013 10:41 pm Yep we have them, love the it effectively turns your beach into a servery. The only problem is we lost the airflow that we use to have by opening up the old awning window.

Daisygirl - that's exactly what we're planning on having, extended stone servers with huge bi fold window. Would love to see a photo!! just having second thoughts because of practicality of flies but have heard there are some sort of fly screen that can work.

Also have 5 banks of louvers so should really open up the kitchen to the pool/alfresco. Pics to come . cheers, travis Re: Kitchen bi fold windows 8Feb 18, 2013 2:18 pm Thanks for the pics stewie. Looking forward to your pics travisaus. We have kept our 5 panel bifolds in the kitchen design whih should also have view over alfresco and pool. hope we can source some sort of flyscreen though.
