internal door advice.

Hi

The house we have moved in to has a double door sized opening between lounge/dining room, all nicely framed in.

It's nice to have it opened up, but would also like to close it up on a cold night.

So I could fit a pair of doors on parliament hinges so they can fold back against the wall when open, but the sofa is in the way on one side.

Woukd it be possible to fit a pair of folding doors, without a track so it will fold back nicely?

You could have a single door folding to just one side?

We would have it fully open most of the time, does a bi-fold door need a track?

No you can fix bi folds without a track as long as there is a rebate or stop for the doors to fit against. You will need a bolt on the first leaf to secure it in the shut position ( discrete inset on the door edge would do ) .

Some use just an upper track.

thanks, what would be the best handles to fix to the doors, as obviously when folded they will get in the way.

flush pull handles , for example http://www.screwfix.com/p/flush-pulls-120mm-satin-stainless-steel/20117 will allow the doors to sit tight to each other if that is what you are looking for.
