When you open them, the panels fold back against each other like a concertina and stack at the side, so almost the whole opening clears. Ours are double glazed aluminium in the ML75 folding door series, measured by us and fitted by our own install team.

Drag the slider or press the button. The top drawing is the door from inside your room, and the one under it is the same door from above.
- 01
The Panels Are Hinged Together
Each panel is hinged to the one beside it, so the whole door moves as one.
- 02
They Fold In Pairs
As you open it, the panels fold back against each other like a concertina.
- 03
They Stack At The Side
Open all the way, the panels sit stacked at the edge and almost the whole opening clears.
Bifold Or Sliding?
Both open your room up to the deck or yard. The difference is how much of the opening clears, and whether the frame has a thermal break, an insulating strip that stops cold travelling through the metal. Here's how a thermal break works.

Glass And Handles
Every bifold door we supply is double glazed. You choose the glass, and the handle comes in three colours.
Your Choice Of Glass
You choose the glass. Low-E glass has a thin coating that reflects heat, and argon filled glass has a heavy gas sealed in the gap between the panes. Laminated glass holds together if it breaks, acoustic glass is laminated with a layer that damps sound, and tinted glass cuts glare.
Safety Glass Where It's Needed
AS 1288, the Australian Standard for glass in buildings, sets where safety glass must go, and doors are one of those places. Laminated glass is one kind. Our guide to glass options for double glazing explains the rest.
