The elegant aesthetic of aluminum is very popular in both modern and traditional home construction. The simple material is extremely changeable and fits perfectly into any architectural style. A wide range of colors is available for this purpose. Thanks to their stability and lightness, aluminum folding sliding doors are ideally suited for large wall openings that should be closed with as much glass as possible.

This is how a folding sliding door works
A folding sliding door consists of several individual elements, each with its own frame. We can connect the segments by hinges. Folding sliding doors are characterized by an innovative rail and hinge system that is both space-saving and enables the entire glass surface to be opened.
Using the accordion principle, the door segments are pushed together inwards or outwards – depending on the variation. In this way the elements are “folded” and a large incidence of light as well as a direct transition to the terrace or garden is made possible. Folding sliding doors offer the greatest possible opening and the least amount of space under the patio doors, as there are no door leaves in the room and the elements can be pushed together quickly and easily.
