Designed around the opening
Fold the panels to a planned stack
Panel count and stacking direction determine how the terrace connection works.
Configuration choices
Inward or outward folding direction, Stack side and traffic leaf, Threshold and drainage detail.
Planning priority
Draw the complete folding envelope, keeping furniture, steps and external drainage clear of the panel stack.
Define the assembly
Construction, clearly separated.
Frame, leaf or panels, finish and hardware must be confirmed as a compatible assembly.
01
Supporting frameStructural opening, head support and frame fixing requirements.
02
Glazed leavesPanel count, glass composition, retention and edge protection.
03
Movement hardwareHinges, rollers, tracks and handles for the selected opening arrangement.
04
Threshold & junctionsInside/outside floor levels, seals, sill drainage and weather-exposed installation interfaces.
Schematic component relationship. This is not a manufacturing section, dimensioned drawing or performance certificate.

|---|---|
| Panel arrangement | Panel count, moving panels and stack location |
| Clear passage and movement | Usable opening, folding zone or sliding overlap |
| Glazing specification | Safety, privacy and proposed glass build-up |
| Track and threshold | Floor levels, drainage and service access |
| Operating hardware | Compatible rollers, hinges, handles and locks |
| MOQ / lead time | Quantity, configuration and order schedule |
| Performance reports | Requested project criteria and applicable model scope |

Plan the building interface
Resolve the installation details early.
01 / Survey
Confirm the opening.
Record sizes, wall thickness, finished floor level, handing and adjacent construction. Identify who checks the site measurements.
02 / Coordinate
Approve the interface.
Resolve the frame fixing, threshold, leaf clearances and hardware with the actual building detail before production authorization.
03 / Receive
Protect and inspect.
Plan unloading, package checks, protected storage and a record of any damage. Use the agreed instructions and support route.
Before you specify
Questions worth asking
How is this configuration tailored to my project?
Use the design direction and configuration choices as a starting point. Send your opening schedule, preferred finish and intended use so the exact construction, dimensions, hardware and supply scope can be reviewed and set out in writing.
What dimensions can I order?
Send the opening measurements, intended use and site constraints. The proposed size must be reviewed with the actual frame, leaf or panel construction and hardware. Available dimensions are confirmed for your selected configuration in the project quotation.
Can the finish match another door in the project?
Share the desired color or wood-look direction and request coordinated physical samples. Different substrates, surface processes, orientations and batches can create visible differences.
What is included in the quote?
The written quotation should list the frame or track system, leaf or panels, glazing, hardware, seals, operator where applicable, accessories and packaging. Each inclusion, option and item supplied by others must be confirmed.
Who handles installation and adjustments?
Installation and responsibility for the opening survey are agreed for the project. Use the approved drawings and product-specific instructions; no general worldwide installation service is implied.
How are lead time and delivery confirmed?
Timing, packaging, trade terms, unloading and requested spare parts are set out for the agreed order after specification review. No fixed production or transit period is assumed.
