whatever your dream

There are so many situations in which a folding sliding door can

be a solution to improving your living space and the environment
around you.

For instance, you live in an apartment with a balcony. By

incorporating a folding sliding door between you and the
balcony, you can create a feeling of more space. Or by
installing a folding sliding door to the top of the balcony rail,
you can create more living space during the winter
months.
How about using a folding sliding door as a window to
generate a more open feeling in any room in your home?
Folding sliding doors can increase the valued time that you have
with your family, even when they are in the garden and you are in
the home. Break down those barriers by creating a wider opening
with a folding sliding door and bring the outside, inside.

required to keep its looks, and is thermally
broken to keep the cold out. The system
comes in a standard colour of white (RAL
9016), but can be coloured to suit your
tastes for a little extra.
Thermally broken for greater thermal
efficiency
Heavy duty cleats to make stronger and
bigger panels
No condensation
Resistant to scratching and denting
(1.75mm wall)
Contemporary appearance
Dual colour optional
Ideal Applications: Due to the hardwearing
material and finish this door has endless
applications, ideal for larger openings and
commercial properties.
Built for Strength
We use over size cleats to hold our
aluminium panels together to ensure
longevity of the joint. The cleat shown on
the left of the coin is a competitors cleat
that was removed from a door panel on a
system we replaced. As you can see it is
bent out of square.
