There is much mystery and confusion surrounding the opening option available when choosing a Sliding Folding Door. The combinations are governed by the size of aperture and the maximum panel size.
As a rule our max panel size is 1 metre wide by 2.3 metres high.
For Example:-
Our clients have a structural opening of 2300 x 2200, they require a sliding folding door with one traffic panel on the right and the other panels sliding to the left. We would supply a three panel combination as illustrated.
This is a 3/2L-1R, two panels move to the left and one traffic panel opens to the right. This combination would be fitted with our high security stainless steel multi point lock on the traffic panel and, two concealed shootbolts on the intermediate panels which key lock into the top track and bottom guide.
All our doors can open into or out of the building as required and can move either to the right or left. The ESPO system is not limited by width so should you have a 20 mtr aperture our doors can easily cope with that.
Below we have outlined opening combinations available up to seven panels. However, should you require a greater number of panels we would be happy to produce a sketch.
