Folding Sliding Doors

Adding atmosphere and character

Folding sliding doors have been added to buildings for approximately 30 years now.

Many people see them as big clumsy heavy doors that fall off their hinges, leak water and wind, are easy to break into and are mainly used as room dividers.

In recent years technology has changed within the folding sliding door industry.
Now they have security tested locking, high resistance to water penetration and air infiltration.

The hinges and rollers have sealed bearing movement to allow even the heaviest of doors to be operated easily and effortlessly.

A folding sliding door can now compliment any building and can be used for endless applications.

A folding sliding door can be a solution to many situations without removing or destroying the look or the character of the building.

A folding sliding door now has the ability to blend into the natural environment around it.

Practical and stylish

There are so many situations that a folding sliding door can be a solution to improving your living space and the environment around you.

For instance, you live in an apartment with a balcony.

By incorporating a folding sliding door between you and the balcony, can create a feeling of more space.

Or by installing a folding sliding door to the top of the balcony rail, you can create more living space during the winter months.

How about using a folding sliding door as a window to generate a more open feeling in any room in your home.

folding sliding doors can increase the valued time that you have with your family, even when they are in the garden and you are in the home.

Your wish is our command.

Gone are the days of French doors with a glass panel on either side.

Gone are the days of the sliding door, which, when you think about it, is just a door with a large window at the side.

Why block half of your available opening?

Why not take full advantage of the space you have?

Even if you don’t have a fully available opening as shown. It can be a simple enough process to adjust any wall space you have to accommodate a folding sliding door.

Don’t be shut in!

Don’t be closed off!

Open your horizons and bring the outside in.

Imagine having all your friends at your home for that barbeque party on a summers evening.

Everyone is squeezing in and out of that sliding door you have.

How many of them after a few drinks are going to walk straight into the glass? Ouch!!!!

How many trip up over the threshold? With a glass of red wine!!!!

Allow the traffic to flow and keep the party flowing problem free.

Give yourself that extra space that you need with a folding sliding door.

Don’t separate your inside from the outside.

Flexibility and choice

A folding sliding door can accommodate all tastes applications and building requirements.

There are hundreds of colours to choose from, whether your choice is laminated timber, aluminium or aluminium & timber clad.

There is over 100 opening styles, including: inward opening, outward opening, folding to the left, folding to the right and even folding both ways.
Opening Configurations

There are threshold details to suit all applications. Some people prefer a step on the inside and outside, some prefer a step on the outside only.

But for the many, they prefer flush threshold that blends the inside floor with the outside floor, especially those with children, elderly or someone in a wheel chair.
