Folding Glass Doors

Folding glass door systems consist of hinged glass panels that run on top and bottom tracks and fold neatly to one side when opened. Once open, the panels stack together and the opening is almost entirely free. Metalux measures, manufactures and installs the whole system in-house.

Where is it used?

The system suits projects that aim to blend an interior with a terrace or garden without a visual break. Typical settings include villa living rooms, restaurant and cafe frontages, the transition between a hotel lobby and its terrace, and office areas that open onto the outdoors.

Advantages

• Stacked panels free up most of the opening, creating a wide passage and an uninterrupted view
• Panel count, width and opening direction are configured freely for each project
• An insulated profile option makes the system suitable for year-round use
• Multi-point locking and gaskets limit air and water infiltration when closed

Things to consider

As panel count increases, keeping the bottom track clean and maintaining the carrier rollers becomes important for smooth operation. The threshold type, recessed or surface-mounted, should be settled at design stage based on floor level and drainage needs. On exposed facades, profile section and glass thickness are sized to the actual opening dimensions.
