Bi-Folding Door Features
Opening and Closing
The custom door systems offered by Glass Inc. are able to be easily opened inward or outward while folding. This ability greatly improves visibility while also increasing space for entertainment and seating capacity. The systems also include adjustable door jambs to ensure excellent fitment.
Glass and Glazing
Specialty glass, decorative glass, and energy-efficient glass are available when designing a door system. Glazing adds additional panes of glass to the doors. This feature can improve security and also reduce the transfer of heat. Glazing options are available in single, double, or triple thickness.
Energy Efficiency
The energy efficiency of our door systems is dependent on the type of glass and door set selected. Systems are available in fully weathered specifications and also standard configurations. The fully weathered trim is ideal for ensuring the energy efficiency of a room. Adding additional treatments to the glass can greatly enhance the system’s ability to conserve energy also.
Finishes
Glass Inc.’s bi-folding doors are constructed from uncoated aluminum metal that naturally has as a mill or raw finish. This modern material is easy to add color to simply by powder coating it before fabricating the system. Powder coating is available in all RAL colors to offer a variety of colors and gloss levels.
Hardware
The door handles are designed with style in mind and are available in five standard finishes. The finish can be color coordinated to match or different from the door finish to create a unique accent.
Security and Locking
The glazing process for our doors works from the inside out so you can expect a high level of security. The locking system consists of dedicated shootbolt intermediate locks operated by low projection handles. In addition, the pass doors incorporate traditional levers that latch, hook, and lock with dedicated strike plates. Doors taller than 2500mm have the option to include a top shootbolt for additional security and weather sealing. The systems are also lockable with a key.
Weather Sealing
Our door systems have excellent weather sealing capabilities with the use of a combination of weather piles and specially designed perimeter seals. The seals work to create a strong and durable barrier that helps contain climate-controlled air and prevent outside air and elements from entering.
