Aluminum Bifold Doors
Multi-panel folding systems that open a larger portion of the wall and create flexible transitions between interior and exterior spaces.
BIFOLD DOOR SYSTEMS
Fold the Wall Back.
Bifold doors connect multiple hinged panels that fold and stack to one or both sides. Panel count, stacking direction, traffic door, hardware, threshold and structural opening must be planned together.
Inward or Outward Folding
The folding direction is selected around available floor space, weather exposure, furniture, walkways and exterior conditions.
One-Side Stacking
All panels can fold toward one jamb for a clear and organized opening where the system and span allow.
Split Stacking
Panels can divide and stack toward both sides to suit wider openings and balanced architectural layouts.
Integrated Traffic Door
A swing access panel may provide everyday entry without folding the complete door set.
DESIGN & PERFORMANCE
Panel Count Changes Every Detail.
More panels increase hinges, rollers, locks, joints and operating forces. Span, panel width, glass weight, weather sealing and structural support require realistic review.
Key Bifold Door Specifications
Panel Count · Stack Direction · Traffic Door · Panel Size & Weight · Glass Make-up · Top or Bottom Running · Threshold · Drainage · Air & Water Performance · Wind Load · Hardware · Installation Interface
FOR ARCHITECTS & PROJECT TEAMS
Plan the Stack Zone and Structural Opening.
Confirm where panels park, how much space the folded stack occupies, floor levels, drainage, head support and clearances before finalizing adjacent walls and finishes.
PROJECT APPLICATIONS
Selected Where Maximum Opening Is the Priority.
Villas · Patios · Restaurants · Hospitality · Residential Entertaining Spaces
Bifold systems provide a broad clear opening, while the final panel count and performance should match exposure, usage frequency and project requirements.
