I have 1 bi-fold and sliding door just installed. I find bi-fold a bit flimsy (if its hanging type). it all depends your area etc. i like sliding door but also got the cons ie, if you have a very wet area or dirts etc, it may get stuck on roller or rusted. Personally I like sliding more, looks more sturdy. I think i pat about 350 plus minus.

don48 send me a good write-up and I edited and put it up for sharing.

Basically, for these kind of doors, it depends on how one uses it. And of course, the surrounding environment.

For sliding door, it's a little more pricey than bi-fold and you must not have restricted space for the sliding track. Problems face after long usage are sliding problems, which occurs because user slam slide the door, or sliding track is exposed to water for a prolonged period and after a long time, debris form up and oiling is required. Yes logically toilet is wet, but as i said environment plays a part, location of your door, concealed shower area, clothes washing, etc.

Bi-fold is economical and does not require additional space for sliding track. There are 2 kinds of bi-fold door. 1 commonly with track, and one, bottomless track. Of course the one with bottom track is cheaper and will face less problem in the long run, but it depends of what you are looking for. Some users do not like obstruction below. But if your unit faces strong wind, please use bottom track design.

If your unit does not face lots of wind, and you are a 'gentle' user, both bi-fold or sliding will last you long enough.
