STUDIO GLIDE BI-FOLD
High performance & contemporary styling that lets more of the outdoors in.
The fashion for bi-fold doors shows no sign of slowing down. Why would it, when it offers all that extra natural light the whole year round and the added advantage of throwing open a ‘glass wall’ to let the outside in during the summer months?So to give you even more of that bi-fold ‘wow’ factor we’ve introduced the StudioGlide™ bi-fold system. With so many options and configurations to choose from, StudioGlide™ meets your needs exactly. Dual colour and multiple threshold options. Double or triple glazing… the choice is practically limitless, not to mention, of course, the improved sight lines, increased door sizes and slimmer profiles that come as standard with this breakthrough bi-fold design.
