Why choose aluminium folding doors
Folding doors open almost the entire span of an opening, folding neatly to one or both sides. They are the ultimate indoor-outdoor connection for patios, braai rooms and entertainment areas.
Open the whole wall
Panels fold and stack to one or both sides, opening up to 90% of the span.
Flexible traffic door
A single 'access' leaf lets you pop in and out without opening the whole set.
Slim, modern frames
Narrow sightlines and flush thresholds keep the look clean and contemporary.
Smooth, guided rollers
Top-hung or bottom-rolling hardware glides smoothly even on wide spans.
Weather-sealed
Multi-point seals and weather gaskets handle Cape wind and driving rain.
Secure multipoint locking
Shoot-bolt and hook locking secures every folding leaf.

FAQ
Aluminium folding doors: your questions answered
Are folding doors or sliding doors better?
Folding doors open a much larger portion of the wall (up to ~90%) for a true open-plan feel, while sliding doors are simpler, often more affordable and always keep some glazing in place. Folding doors suit entertainment areas; sliders suit everyday patios and sea views.
How many panels can a folding door have?
Most homes use 3 to 6 leaves, but configurations from 2 up to 7+ leaves are possible, folding to one side or split to both. We size the panels to balance weight, smooth operation and your opening width.
Do folding doors leak in wind-driven rain?
Quality aluminium folding doors use multi-point seals and weather gaskets that perform well in Cape conditions. Correct installation, drainage and threshold choice are key — which is why professional fitting matters.
Can I get a flat threshold for folding doors?
Yes. Low-profile, near-flush thresholds are available for a seamless indoor-outdoor floor and easy access, with appropriate drainage detailing to keep water out.
