Exterior Aluminum Folding Door Double Glazing Thermal Break Standard Metal Frame Bi Folding Doors

Exterior Aluminum Folding Door Double Glazing Thermal Break Standard Metal Frame Bi Folding Doors

Description: 

     A folding door is a type of door which opens by folding back in sections or so-called panels. Folding doors are also known as ‘bi-fold doors', in spite of them most often having more than two panels. Another term is ‘concertina’ doors, inspired by the musical instrument of the same name. Folding doors can be used as internal or external room dividers and are made from a variety of materials. Most folding doors are glazed and the panels have frames of either wood, aluminium or upvc. They can open up and fold either internally or externally and are widely used in modern extensions.

Opposed to a conventional door with a standard aperture of 700-900 mm, most modern folding door (sets) can be up to several meters in width, and thereby considerably increase both physical and visual accessibility between either two internal rooms or an internal room and an outside space.

Advantages: 

More Glass

Since aluminium is a very strong material, a smaller frame supports larger glass panes than wood or PVC. Larger panes of glass let more light in your home, which creates a brighter interior living space. Thinner frames also create a cleaner line-of-sight which gives you an unimpeded view of the outside. This is good news for parents and pet owners who want to keep an eye on what’s going on in the yard.

Low-Maintenance

Wood framed doors need periodic painting or staining to maintain them. Additionally, heat, cold and moisture can warp them over time. Aluminium doors, on the other hand, are almost maintenance free. They will never warp, corrode, rot or rust and you’ll never have to paint or stain them. In fact, the only thing that you’ll ever have to do is clean them with a soft cloth when you’re doing the windows.

Flexible Installation

Traditional patio doors are restrictive when it comes to placement. Typical installation requires a flat wall with space on either end. Bifold doors, on the other hand, can be configured in a variety of ways. Choices include traditional installation, like your old door, but, they can even wrap around the corner of your home. No matter what, the results are a well-lit space.

Energy Efficient

You might not think so, but aluminium doors are as energy-efficient, if not more so than uPVC doors. In fact, many of them are manufactured with a thermal break that keeps heat from being transferred through the frame. The addition of energy efficient glass assures that your room stays comfortable whether it’s hot or cold outside.

Environmentally Friendly

Using aluminium is an environmentally friendly choice compared to wood or PVC. Creating doors from recycled aluminium only requires about 5% of the energy it takes to produce it from raw materials. In addition, it’s highly recyclable and never loses any of its strength, quality and integrity. That means if you ever remove the doors, the aluminium can easily be used again for other products.
