Bi-folding Door Thresholds FAQs in: Frequently Asked Questions What threshold options are available for the doors? Origin offer two different types of threshold/track – a low threshold and rebated threshold. What are the features of a rebated threshold? The rebated threshold can be used when a property requires a fully weather tight door. This track can be sunk into the floor to offer an almost even finish with an 8mm upstand. This option is perfect when the doors are going to be leading to an external environment.
What are the features of a low threshold? The low threshold option in comparison can offer a completely flat transition between the inside and out but because the track isn’t rebated, optimal weather performance cannot be guaranteed. This option is ideal for internal use or a sheltered area outside. What drainage is required for bi-folding doors? There are two types of drainage methods that can be used on our external bi-folds, which apply to both flush and standard thresholds: face and concealed drainage. Face drainage – This type of drainage ensures the water enters the lower chamber of the track and exits via a capped hole in the outer face. Concealed drainage – This type of drainage ensures the water exits the bottom track through the polyamide and enters the top of the cill. From there, it travels through the front section of the cill and out of the very front edge underneath. How rain water and surface water is taken away from the drainage outlet is a site specific requirement and should be designed by a qualified person.
Do bi-folding doors leak? To ensure bi-fold doors don’t leak, it is important to have a rebated threshold instead of a completely level one. The rebated threshold has a small lip which creates a seal against the door ensuring no water can get in. Water tightness tests are measured in Pascals, which is a measure of pressure. In these tests, the Origin doors have performed exceptionally, withstanding pressure of up to 600 Pascals. This means our doors are designed to withstand the UK’s harshest wet weather conditions.

Modern Glass Technology by IQ Glass Threshold Drains Technical Downloads IQ Flush Threshold Drainage Solutions The IQ Flush Threshold Drain system provides a robust and effective water protection and drainage for flush threshold base frame details. The hidden drainage channel can take up to 90 litres of water per minute and the exposed metal grille is anti-corrosive – suitable for marine environments or in conjunction with a chlorine or salt water pool. The channel itself is an EPDM silicone sleeve which creates an effective thermally broken water barrier flush with floor tracks and the external floor finish. With a metal slim grate over the top. This versatile drainage solution can be engineered to suit all threshold thicknesses and is available in silver anodised aluminium (in stock) and titanium anodised aluminium (at an additional cost) . Pre made corner drainage channels allow tricky corner sections to be finished as neatly and minimally as the rest of the flush drain. The square edged drainage has a slim and ergonomic design which makes it heel and small finger safe.
