How to Select the Best Quality Folding Door

Folding doors look beautiful and are today made from a wide range of materials including wood, aluminum, and even PVC. They hence can suit the aesthetics of your home in a better manner and also offer you genuine functional comforts. The folding doors systems are lightweight, strong and have multiple security locks so that your inner spaces are safe and secure.

While selecting the folding doors, you must give the below points consideration and thoughts.

Choose on the materials

The folding doors are made up of timber, aluminum, PVC or a combination of these materials. The aluminum doors have good thermal efficiency and provide for lasting performance. Wooden folding doors also suit the beautiful aesthetics of classically styled home interiors.

Installation

The folding doors in UAE are installed in 2 ways. They can be installed in an opening that is already present in the wall. Sometimes a new opening may get created. The door frame is first installed, and then the door is set up.

Prefer the odd number of leaves

When you have an odd number of leaves in your home’s folding doors, then the first leaf can be easily opened like the conventional kind of door. This gives you an easy pop-out egress. With the even number of leaves, you open one, and the other also gets opened, and you find the whole glazing wall getting shifted.

Weather resistance

Folding doors get higher exposure to rain and the wind in comparison to the patio doors, as they have a larger size. Folding doors that are installed in the sheltered spaces must have a water resistance of 100 pa.

Noise cancellation

Folding doors with double-glazed panels are quite effective in resisting noise pollution. Triple sealing  and the foam-filled (acoustic ) seals further improve the resistance.

Security

The folding doors have the irremovable hinged pins,  the 25 mm bolt-throw, the 

tested and secure “multi-point” system locks  and the security cylinders  that provide for interlocking features  while also offering greater resistance to impact.

Thermal stability

PVC is a thermoplastic material and expands much more than wood or aluminum in the presence of heat, that comes from the sunlight.

Appearance

If you want to draw more warmth and texture from your door manufacturers in UAE, then go for the timber ones. The aluminum folding doors are also powder coated and come in a range of colors.
