FLUSH THRESHOLD

A flush threshold is the most common request for folding doors and our timber doors can be supplied with an inline out of sight track system. The aluminium track system is buried in the floor providing the opportunity to merge internal and external floor levels eliminating the requirement for a higher step-over over threshold. Other threshold options and external cills can also be provided. All threshold options are here.

HIGH SECURITY

High Security We take security very seriously which is why we fit hardened steel hook bolt and shoot bolt locking systems to traffic doors and intermediate panels are secured by internally operated shoot bolts to top and bottom of the door.

The high security hinge fixings are fully concealed when the door is closed and the individual door panels feature an interlocking facility that prevent the panels being forced apart by an intruder.

Internal glazing beads also prevent the double glazed sealed units from being removed from the outside.

FOLD FLAT HANDLES

Fold flat handles are fitted to intermediate panels of our folding doors to operate the shoot bolt locking facility and also allow the panels to stack against each other when the door is fully open.

Traffic doors are fitted with a key locking version of this handle that incorporates a cylinder guard to prevent tampering with the cylinder from the outside.

REPLACE YOUR EXISTING PATIO OR FRENCH DOOR

Converting an existing patio door installation to a sliding folding door in factory finished softwood or hardwood creates a totally different aspect by opening up your home and providing unobstructed access to your garden. Great for barbecues as it merges your living space with your garden and eliminates the narrow openings usually found in patio doors as can be seen above.

ENVIROMENTALLY SOURCED TIMBER

Manufactured using environmentally sourced timber from sustainable forests our softwood and hardwood bi-folding doors are manufactured under tight quality control guidelines by fully trained craftsmen. For extra strength and to prevent warping the timber is engineered which involves splicing the profiles into three pieces and then gluing them back together under high pressure with the timber grains running in opposing directions. This helps to prevent bowing and reduces expansion ensuring you new softwood or hardwood folding door provides you with years of trouble-free use.
