bifold aluminium glass doors

Product Details

The 78 Series bifold aluminium glass door operates on a bottom-load, top-guide principle where the bottom track carries panel weight and the top track provides directional guidance. This arrangement reduces strain on moving parts and contributes to smoother long-term operation. A reinforced center mullion between panels resists sagging, and an even number of panels is recommended for structural balance. Panels hinge together accordion-style and stack compactly to one side, opening the full doorway width without a fixed panel occupying space.

Unlike conventional bifold doors limited to straight tracks, this system supports 90-degree corner and curved track installations, enabling door configurations at building corners or along curved walls. The thermal break aluminum profile with a 14.8mm insulation strip addresses energy efficiency needs, while the anti-pinch hand design and optional bottom guard plate improve occupant safety in high-traffic settings. These structural and safety considerations make the 78 Series a practical choice for residential living spaces and commercial environments where durability and layout flexibility matter.

Product Features

• Versatile Track Configurations: Straight, 90-degree corner, and curved track options accommodate complex architectural layouts and non-standard building openings where conventional straight-track bifold doors cannot be installed.

• Bottom-Load Top-Guide Structure: The bottom track carries panel weight while the top track guides movement, reducing operational strain and contributing to smoother folding action over extended periods of daily use.

• Reinforced Center Mullion: Strengthened mullion between panels resists sagging over time, maintaining consistent accordion operation even in wide multi-panel configurations where panel alignment is critical.

• Anti-Pinch Safety Design: Integrated anti-pinch feature protects hands and fingers during the folding cycle, addressing an important safety requirement in high-traffic commercial spaces and family-occupied residential environments.

• Multiple Glass Upgrade Paths: Standard double tempered glass can be upgraded to triple, laminated, Low-E, reflective, or tinted glass with optional argon filling for project-specific energy, safety, or privacy requirements.

• Integrated Between-Glass Blinds: Choose 23A magnet blinds, 27A electric blinds, or light-controlled blinds sealed between double glass panes, eliminating separate window treatment installation and reducing ongoing maintenance effort.

Customizable Styles

• Glass Configuration: Upgrade from standard 5mm+27A+5mm double tempered glass to triple, laminated, Low-E, reflective, or tinted glass with optional argon gas filling for enhanced performance.

• Frame Surface Treatment: Select powder coating, anodized, wooden grain transfer, or PVDF coating finish to match exterior and interior design requirements of your project.

• Panel Dimensions: Customize panel width from 500mm to 800mm and height from 1000mm to 2800mm to fit specific opening sizes and architectural specifications.

• Track Configuration: Choose straight track, 90-degree corner meeting track, or curved track to accommodate unique architectural layouts and spatial constraints at the installation site.

• Between-Glass Blinds and Flyscreen: Add 23A magnet blinds, 27A electric or light blinds between glass panes, or a folding flyscreen for insect protection without external fixtures.

Hardware Accessories

• KERSSENBERG Handle: Aluminum lock lever handle and pull handle from KERSSENBERG provide ergonomic grip and a coordinated aesthetic with the door profile finish.

• KERSSENBERG Hidden Hinge: Concealed hinge with built-in adjustment function allows precise panel alignment without visible hardware, maintaining clean sightlines across the folding door system.

• KERSSENBERG Lock and Multi-Point System: Keyed lock cylinder paired with a multi-point locking mechanism secures the door at multiple contact points along the frame for increased security.

• Bottom Wheels with Layout Options: Bottom carriage wheels available in 3+1 or 2+2 layout configurations to match panel weight and operational requirements for smooth folding motion.

• Top Guide Wheels: Upper track guide wheels ensure stable directional movement during accordion folding, preventing panel derailment and maintaining consistent operation during daily use.

Application Scenarios

• Apartment: Bifold aluminium glass doors create space-saving indoor-outdoor transitions for apartment balconies and terraces, folding neatly to maximize usable floor area in compact residential layouts.

• Home Office: Folding glass partitions separate home office space from living areas while allowing natural light flow; panels stack aside for open-plan flexibility when privacy is not required.

• Hotel: Bifold doors connect hotel lobbies, restaurants, or event spaces to outdoor terraces, enabling seamless guest flow and natural ventilation while maintaining climate control when closed.

• Office Building: Bifold aluminium glass doors serve as flexible meeting room partitions or reception area dividers, providing acoustic separation with the option to open fully for collaborative events.

• Outdoor: Designed for patio and outdoor entertaining areas, these exterior bifold glass doors create wide unobstructed openings that merge indoor living spaces with outdoor landscapes. Buyers should confirm weather resistance for their climate.

• Residential Building: Suitable for living rooms, sunrooms, and dining areas, bifold doors maximize natural light and provide wide access for furniture movement and daily household use.

• Exterior: Thermal break aluminum profiles with insulated glass help address energy efficiency requirements. Buyers should confirm water tightness, wind pressure rating, surface finish durability, and installation conditions for exterior exposure.

• Villa: Bifold aluminium glass doors suit villa patios, pool enclosures, and garden-facing openings, with curved and corner track options available to accommodate distinctive architectural features and expansive layouts.

FAQ

What are bifold aluminium glass doors?

Bifold aluminium glass doors are folding door systems where panels hinge together and open accordion-style, stacking neatly to one side. The 78 Series uses thermal break aluminum profiles with double tempered glass for residential and commercial applications.

Where can bifold aluminium glass doors be used?

Suitable for patios, sunrooms, living rooms, commercial spaces, room partitions, and indoor-outdoor transitions. Curved and 90-degree corner track options enable installation in non-standard architectural layouts.

Can bifold aluminium glass doors be customized?

Yes. Panel dimensions, glass type, surface treatment, track configuration, between-glass blinds, folding flyscreen, and argon gas filling are customizable. Confirm specific requirements with the manufacturer for project-tailored solutions.

What information is needed for a quote?

Provide opening dimensions, desired panel count, glass type, surface treatment, track configuration, hardware preferences, and project location. When contacting a bifold aluminium glass door manufacturer, include order volume and any OEM or branding requirements.

Are bifold aluminium glass doors suitable for B2B commercial projects?

Yes. The 78 Series accommodates commercial applications with multi-point locking, thermal break profiles, glass upgrades for energy code compliance, and brandable spacer bars for OEM buyers. Confirm project-specific performance requirements with the manufacturer.

What technical documents are available?

Contact the manufacturer for specification sheets, profile cross-sections, and performance test data. CAD drawings may be available upon request for architectural specification and project planning purposes.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Verify profile thickness for your order, thermal performance values, panel count recommendation (even numbers preferred), track type, opening direction, glass configuration, and whether fixed glass panels are needed (not supported in this system).

How should I confirm certification, packaging, and shipping details?

Certification details, packaging methods, and shipping logistics should be confirmed directly with the manufacturer at time of inquiry. Specify any required compliance standards for your target project market.
