TOP HUNG FOR EASE OF USE

• The weight of our bi-folding door is hung from above, so the door will be easy to use year after year. Typical bi-folding panel weight is 80 to 100 kg each with double glazing. Contact us and we can confirm your panel weight.

NUMBER OF PANELS

• Our Bi-folding door panels can go 1,016mm [40″] wide and 3,048mm [120″] high. Calculate the minimum number of door panels by dividing opening width by 1,016mm [40″] and round up. We will confirm with you if the number of panels is within the limit.

3. FLUSH FLOOR: Best for interior applications, sill disappears into floor.
   Does not meet NAFS performance requirements.

OPENING CONFIGURATIONS

Don’t know what layout? We will confirm and recommend the best configurations for you. We also do corner doors and angles other than 90 degrees may also be available.
