Folding Doors & Bi-Folding Doors

We are specialists in the supply and installation of the Smart Systems Visofold sliding folding door. The system is built up using a frame in which the moveable door parts are set, allowing them to be folded either left or right. These elements or sashes are supported and hinged to a vertical mullion fitted with a roller mechanism top and bottom. This series of folding doors is mostly used in hotels and restaurants, stores and in private houses and allows for a complete wall to be opened up in the summer for a larger space. The system is also popular for use with conservatories allowing for internal living areas to be opened up during the summer time.
