Folding sliding patio doors can be installed in a huge range of situations, in fact The Folding
Sliding Door Company provides you with so much flexibility and choice that the solutions are endless
Gone are the days of French doors with a glass panel on either side.
Gone are the days of the sliding door, which, when you think about it, is just a door with a large window at the side.
Why block half of your available opening?
Our team of professionals can accommodate a folding sliding patio door into almost any property.
Why not take full advantage of the outdoor space you have, open your horizons and bring the outside in.

&
With three growing children, my wife and I decided that we would like to create a large family room by
knocking together our kitchen and dining room. We also wanted the children to make more use of the garden.
We knew that replacing our old French doors with folding sliding doors would really open up the family room into the garden
and we approached a number of manufacturers. Some couldnt deliver for 12 weeks, but The Folding Sliding Door Company
could deliver in days and were also very competitive on price.
The doors are made in their UK factory, the sales team was very professional and friendly and made the ordering
process so easy. They contacted us several times to check our requirements and to confirm delivery.
We have been delighted with the quality of the doors. It is incredible how different our house now feels
simply because of the amount of light flooding in and the way in which the garden feels connected to,
and a part of the house! We would have no hesitation in recommending The Folding Sliding Door Company

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer (M-class) rubber) gaskets, are fitted as
standard and used to seal the double glazed units into the panels and protect the door
from water ingress. There are also EPDM (synthetic rubber) seals between each panel
to prevent water, wind and noise from entering the property. The main properties
of EPDM are its outstanding heat and weather resistance
We use 2 rubber EPDM seals on each side of each panel and high performance
seals on the top and bottom of the panel.

thermal
efficiency
NFRC Certified
LOW-E
U-Factors
The thermal rating of a window or door is measured in U-Factors,
the lower the U-Factor the better the rating.
Many companies will give you a U-Factor based on
the centre pane value or the U-Factor of the glass.
This value will always be lower than the actual
value of the complete window or door.
All of our systems use Low-E coated Insulated Glass (IG) units as standard. Increased thermal efficiency
can be achieved by upgrading your glass choice. We offer a wide range of options from all major suppliers, with coatings,
tints to suit all installations. Triple pane and Impact Units are also available, please ask for further details.

a touch of
glass
An important choice to make when purchasing your door is what type of glass to put in them.
Glass has a significant effect on the heat your house loses at night, the heat it gains during the day and
noise levels from outside. Glass helps to determine the level of comfort, security and privacy in your home.
32
UPGRADES
OPTIONS continued
Transoms / Mullions
For increased thermal & acoustic properties, as well as increasing security. Our TIG units use 5/32 toughened
glass outside, 5/16 cavity, 5/32 toughened, 5/16 cavity, 5/32 toughened Low-E glass on the inside.
Impact Glass
Also known as laminated glass, consists of two layers of annealed or tempered glass with a layer
of PVB or resin in between. This structure allows the glass to withstand pressure, making breakage less likely.
If the outer glass breaks, the shattered pieces will adhere to the PVB film. In contrast, standard-glass windows
are made of standard float glass that, when broken, will fracture in large sharp shards. Commonly used in vehicles,
high-impact glass can also be used in homes for safety, security, sound reduction and UV control.
OPTIONS
Grids / Grills (GBGs), applied internally to glazing
A bar placed between two panes of glass achieving a divided window style
Unglazed door option Please be aware that this option does not come with a DECLARATION OF PERFORMANCE
certificate. We offer this option as we would to trade customers. Suitable for supply only, to be glazed by third party.
This has the benefit of larger surface glass areas for cleaning
Designs Horizontal, Traditional Grid or Custom
Colors Black, white, Bronze and Sandstone
Option ONLY available for Timber door sets. Set within the door

Tracks &
rollers
Be cautious when choosing your bi-fold door system, as the track plays a vital part in the security
of your door. If an intruder can get access to the track, they have easy access to your home with the
simple lift of a tire iron. We utilise our own hardware brand (FoldNSlide) which is uniquely designed,
independently tested and accredited. All our rollers are fully encapsulated within the track.
... all our door sets come with the same ergonomically designed heavy duty rollers.
Fitted and located to both the top and bottom of the door, integral to the track, the rollers distribute
the weight evenly. They incorporate a hinge and are fitted to join each pair of sliding door
panels together, with an average of 440lbs per door set the steel wheels
make the door glide easily and effortlessly, while not wearing the track.

TRACK STYLES
options
We manufacture an inline out of sight track system, this track system is strong and secure, and all running gear
is concealed (which ever option you choose) and is resistant to attack from potential intruders, we offer both
inward and outward opening options. Our flush track option is also water resistant, many other systems
do not offer these options.
There are threshold details to suit all applications, some people prefer a step on the inside and outside,
some prefer a step on the outside only. But for the many, they prefer flush threshold that blends the inside floor
with the outside floor, especially those with children, elderly or someone in a wheel chair.
RAISED TRACK
This options does not give you a flush floor level from
the inside of the property to the outside of the property.
The track itself is the same as the flush option,
only it is not sank under the floor level on installation.

HOW TO MEASURE
We manufacture precisely to your
specification, SO PLEASE CHECK!
How do you open that space in your home to incorporate a bi-fold door?
The first thing that you need is an opening to accommodate the door, the opening must be of sound structure to allow
the bi-fold door to be installed correctly. The opening walls and floor must be constructed from structural timber,
steel, brick, concrete or concrete block. Thermalite, cinder blocks or breeze blocks are not suitable to obtain a firm structural fixing.
The head of the opening must be constructed from steel, structural timber or concrete.
Light metal lintels and timber sub-frames are not suitable to obtain a firm structural fixing.
The next step is to measure your opening please refer to the diagrams.
Frame Width Measurement from wall to wall of the prepared opening, then minus a tolerance of 1/2.
Frame Height Measured from the underside of the top support to the underside of the bottom track,
then minus a tolerance of 1/4-1/2.
Square Metre Area of the door; width x height equals the sq/ft of the door.
Weight Weight is approximately 8lb per sq/ft (standard glass).
When measuring it is advisable to use a spirit level to indicate the correct size
of door you require. Note: Always use the smallest measurement
Always include your chosen bottom track option in your measurements
and remember to allow for floor finishes, tiles, carpet etc
Threshold When deciding the way that you would like your threshold to be situated,
always make allowances in your measurement to accommodate the bottom track.
Note: the frame height includes the bottom track.
Once you have your opening size, you need to decide which direction
you would like your door to fold and if you would like it to fold to the left
or to the right, inward or outward or both.
