Ultra Slim Bifold vs Sliding Doors: Which Is Better for Your Kitchen or Yard Door?

When planning a kitchen renovation or upgrading your service yard, choosing the right door type can make all the difference. Two of the most popular space-saving options today are the Ultra Slim Bifold Door and the Ultra Slim Sliding Door.

Both look sleek, feature tempered glass, and use minimal aluminium frames—but which one suits your space better? Let’s break down the differences.

What They Have in Common

Both ultra slim door types from Ho Ho share key features:

• Sleek 16 mm aluminium frame for a minimalist look

• Tempered glass panels for safety and durability

• Space-saving design suited for compact areas

• Custom sizes to fit kitchens, service yards, or room dividers

• HDB-approved and locally fabricated in Singapore

Ultra Slim Bifold Door

How It Works: Bifold doors fold inward or outward using hinges, stacking neatly to one or both sides.

Best For:

• Kitchens with narrow walkways

• Service yards with tight turning space

• Homeowners who want maximum opening width

Pros:

• Folds completely to one side—great for full access

• Allows natural airflow between spaces

• Ideal for wet and dry zone separation

Things to Consider:

• Slightly more complex hinge mechanism

• Requires space at the side to fold

Ultra Slim Sliding Door

How It Works: Glass panels slide along a top or bottom track to open and close.

Best For:

• Wider kitchen openings or balcony access

• Homeowners prioritising sleek design and silent operation

• Locations where you prefer a partial opening

Pros:

• Smooth, modern look

• Doesn’t need folding clearance—perfect for tighter layouts

• Compatible with soft-closing and synchronised options

• Minimal frame disruption—great for visibility

Things to Consider:

• Doesn’t open fully; one panel is always fixed
