Internal bi-fold door recommendations

Options
I am thinking of fitting a bi-fold door to my box room as it will take up less space. I used to have a bi-fold on a shower room and you could see through the join on the door which obviously is not great. The other doors are all four panel so something that would fit in with those. Any suggestions or recommendations for good quality doors please?

    Where are you? I've got a spare 4 panel bifold door ;)

    Personally I don't really like them. I thought I'd bought a quality door (xl joinery clear pine) but it does have a gap as you say and according to my carpenter - they all do. I am not too sure because in the previous house I lived in there was a bifold door that didn't have a gap and was a nice and tight fit. You can cover the gap with a matching strip though which would make it look better and prevent possible draught.

    I've decided to make a bifold door out of an old pine door that matches the style of other doors in the house. It will be dipped and then cut in half. I've been told that should work. Fingers crossed
