The convenience and versatility of folding doors – also known as bi-folding exterior door systems — are eclipsed only by the beauty and style they bring to your space.
As an alternative to pocket or sliding doors, folding door systems are a perfect option for both large and small openings, allowing you to enjoy natural light and expansive views. And, when you’re ready to remove the barrier separating inside and out, these innovative systems fold quickly and simply out of the way.
How Folding Exterior Doors Operate
Using a single, unobtrusive track, as many as ten panels can be used to span even the largest openings.
The weight of folding door systems is carried on the upper track, making the system extremely easy to operate. The bottom guide channel is available as a low threshold was well as with a fully recessed option, for a truly seamless and safe transition.
When in its stationary position, a designated single panel functions as either an interior- or exterior-swing single-lite door.
To open the entire folding door system, simply release the vertical bolts by tapping the lever-style handle and slide the doors away. Because the weight is so evenly distributed above, you can dispatch an entire panel set with two fingers.
Choosing the Ideal Folding Door Design
Most folding door systems can range from two to ten panels and custom options allow for a height of up to 12 feet.
