Like the look and want to know more? The following is a simple explanation of the various options and components that make up bifolding doors in Melbourne. Our bifolding doors in Melbourne can be made to swing outwards or inwards and fold in many different configurations. Shown below are just a few birds’ eye view examples. As the images below suggest you can only have a single opening panel, for easy access to outside/inside, if you have an odd number of panels going in at least one direction. Note: The recommended width for bi fold door panels is 800-1000mm. We can make our bifolds up to 3+ meters high and 10+ meters wide. We offer customers a huge range of Dulux, Colourbond and Interpon powder coat colours as well as anodised metal. Our Dulux colour chart, which encompasses most Colourbond colours, can be downloaded on the left. Our standard range is the Duralloy range, but on request we can also do the Precious, RapidCure, Duratec and other colours. If you would like us to order you a free sample card please just contact us so we can arrange it for you.
Shown below are the three handles that we keep in stock and use in almost all our bifolding doors in Melbourne. On request we can provide you with a list of other Lockwood handles that suit our bifold, or alternatively if there’s a particular handle you want, let us know and we will see if it fits our door stile. As standard our handles come in Satin Chrome. Not all aluminium bifold doors in Melbourne require handles, if there are an even number of panels going one or both ways a door handle is not required (see configuration tab above for examples). For the majority of bifolds in Melbourne, our clients usually opt for either clear single laminated or double glazed toughened safety glass. These types of glass are shown below. Often in new homes and major renovations energy rating reports will specify the glass type required. There are five sill options for our bi fold doors, but we recommend the two sills shown below in almost all applications. Both sills can be flush with the floor if you recess the sill into the ground / bench top or build up timber / tiles to the sill.
The most used sill, the reversible sill, offers superior sealing compared to the U channel sill. Samples of both sill types can be obtained from our showroom so you can see exactly how the bi fold door will sit in your opening. Our external bifold doors in Melbourne are powered by architectural grade stainless steel Centor E2 and E3 top rolling hardware, which has been specifically designed and tested for use in our glass bifold door system. The rollers sit in the head of the bifold and carry the weight of each panel making them a critical component. Operation of the rollers is always smooth and effortless while vertical and lateral door adjustment is simple. As standard, our bifolding doors in Melbourne come with offset flush bolts, but we also offer other bolt options to lock the doors securely into place. The configurations tab above shows the location of these bolts. Offset flush bolts are located at the top and bottom of the required door stiles while the dual twin bolt (key or keyless) is usually located in the centre of the bifold style.
Dual twin bolts do the same thing as our offset flush bolt, but operates both bolts in one mechanism. There are a number of flyscreens that fit our custom bifold doors in Melbourne. The most popular flyscreens we supply are Centor, Freedom and Phantom retractable flyscreens but pleated screens by Brio and Ultrascreen are available as well. If you’re not sure if you want flyscreens for bifolds don’t worry, they can be fitted at a later date. Below is a video of the Centor and Freedom retractable screen in action.
