The aluminium profiles are designed to give strength and durability to ensure a structurally sound product that requires minimal maintenance and delivers reliable performance over a lifetime of use.

 

Visofold’s aluminium sections utilise the latest polyamide thermal barrier technology. This advanced profile technology creates a thermal transmittance barrier between the cold outside and the warm inside, keeping your home warm and comfortable even in the coldest weather,

helping to reduce energy bills. The sashes can be glazed with a range of double or even triple glazed sealed units up to 38mm, and threshold options are available to give improved weather performance. Sliding sashes have the option of folding back internally or externally, with a wide choice of sash configurations. For ease of access you do not have to open the doors 100%; open in the centre like French doors, or from the side like an entrance door. aluminium profiles are finished in polyester powder coated paint and are available in a huge range of colours and finishes that includes dual colour, realistic wood structure and metallic paint options. The polyester powder coated paint finish is produced to the highest standards and quality assured by Smart’s 25 year paint finish guarantee*. Your home will be protected from unwelcome visitors with the assurance given by high security multi-point locking mechanisms fitted on opening sashes, shoot bolt locks on floating mullions and internally glazed sealed units.

 

 

Description:

The folding door system with thermal break allows you to create large passages.

The system is built up using a frame in which moveable parts or elements are placed in such a way that it is possible to fold the elements to the left or right.

These elements or sashes are supported and hinged to a mullion.

At the bottom the mullion is supported by a roller mechanism which slides along the sill profile while at the top, the mullion is guided by another roller mechanism.
 
There are several possible combinations of elements and opening sashes.

Applications:

• This series of folding doors is mostly used in hotels and restaurants, stores and in private houses, in order to open a complete wall to create a larger space in the summer.
• The system is also interesting for conservatories to use as a screen you can open completely in summer times.
   

Materials:

• Extruded out of aluminium-alloy AlMgSi 0,5 F22 according to DIN 1725.
• Tolerance according to DIN17618.

Finishing:

• Electrostatic powder coating: according to the guidelines of APA-Qualicoat in most of the current RAL-colours.
• Possible to colour in wood structure to imitate different woods (Powder coated according to Qualicoat). All coatings will be delivered with a certificate of guarantee for 15 years.
• Anodisation: in satin or bronze colours with E.E.W.A./EURAS-Qualanod quality label.
• Thermal break: The profiles consist of 2 aluminium extrusions which are separated from one another by polyamide strips PA 6.6.25 reinforced with glass fibre. A gluing thread, rolled and pushed in together with the thermal break profile, ensures a strong adhesion after melting and flowing, when the profiles are heated in the hardening furnace.
