The Folding Sliding Door Company LLC
With a family of three children, all under 10 years old, space is important to me and my wife We wanted to create a family living space as part of the kitchen area and open this into the garden to bring the indoors and outdoors together. An orangery with folding sliding patio doors was the perfect solution and has transformed the way we all live.
space light let there be
We have much more time together as we are not in separate rooms and the addition of a raised deck and a hot tub has made the garden fun to use for the children and when we have our friends around in the evening. The folding sliding patio doors make the biggest difference - we wonder why we didn’t have them fitted sooner!
The Hinkley Family
&
Our garden has become like another room!
With three growing children, my wife and I decided that we would like to create a large family room by knocking together our kitchen and dining room. We also wanted the children to make more use of the garden. We knew that replacing our old French doors with folding sliding doors would really open up the family room into the garden and we approached a number of manufacturers. Some couldn’t deliver for 12 weeks, but The Folding Sliding Door Company could deliver in days and were also very competitive on price. The doors are made in their UK factory, the sales team was very professional and friendly and made the ordering process so easy. They contacted us several times to check our requirements and to confirm delivery. We have been delighted with the quality of the doors. It is incredible how different our house now feels – simply because of the amount of light flooding in and the way in which the garden feels connected to, and a part of the house! We would have no hesitation in recommending The Folding Sliding Door Company

PAS024 security testing
• Encapsulated running gear within the track, preventing it from being attacked • Passed tests equivalent to a twenty stone man trying to force entry • 5 point multi-locking
... is one of our main concerns on door design, that is why the security and integrity of our doors have been tested to destruction in approved testing laboratories. During these tests our doors were hammered, rammed, pounded, pulled, pushed, lifted and crow barred by forces that equaled a 20 stone man trying to force entry. All our running gear is also fully encapsulated within the track so that the door cannot be lifted off its track. This makes it resistant to attack from potential intruders.
• Hardened steel hook locks & dead bolts • Top and bottom solid steel shoot bolts directly into both the top & bottom track • Internally glazed for all systems (option to upgrade to Impact glass) • High security hinges to prevent the pins from being removed and the hinge being forced from the door • Tongue and groove (interlocking panels) design to prevent panels from being crow barred open

Weatherproof Our systems have been successfully tested to achieve high results in extreme conditions and can meet AAMA, Florida Code and Miami-Dade requirements.
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer (M-class) rubber) gaskets, are fitted as standard and used to seal the double glazed units into the panels and protect the door from water ingress. There are also EPDM (synthetic rubber) seals between each panel to prevent water, wind and noise from entering the property. The main properties of EPDM are its outstanding heat and weather resistance We use 2 rubber EPDM seals on each side of each panel and high performance seals on the top and bottom of the panel.

A low U-factor is useful during cold days when heating is needed. It is also helpful during hot days when it is important to keep the heat out.
Thermally broken aluminum, and aluminum tracks reduce thermal loss through transfer.
U-Factors The thermal rating of a window or door is measured in U-Factors, the lower the U-Factor the better the rating. Many companies will give you a U-Factor based on the centre pane value or the U-Factor of the glass. This value will always be lower than the actual value of the complete window or door.
All our U-Factor calculations are based on the whole door which is frame plus glass.
All of our systems use Low-E coated Insulated Glass (IG) units as standard. Increased thermal efficiency can be achieved by upgrading your glass choice. We offer a wide range of options from all major suppliers, with coatings, tints to suit all installations. Triple pane and Impact Units are also available, please ask for further details.

a touch of
glass
OUR STANDARDS ARE HIGH Insulated glass, argon filled, Low-E coated toughened (tempered) glass, 1 1/8� IG constructed units 3/16 toughened glass outside, 1/2� cavity and 3/16� toughened Low-E glass inside. Low-E (K) coating on the inside, gives the glass better thermal properties and allows most natural light to enter freely but reflects a significant portion of short-wave heat energy. In summer, long-wave heat energy radiating from objects is reflected back outside, lowering cooling cost. In winter, internal longwave heat energy is reflected back inside, lowering heating costs. Toughened glass is a safety glass, shatters into small pieces, is about 4 times stronger than standard glass, is resistance to thermal stress and impact resistance. Argon, has a 34% lower thermal conductivity than air. We offer a huge selection of glass, each with its own unique thermal U-Factor properties, some specific to your door choice, our sales team can readily advise.
An important choice to make when purchasing your door is what type of glass to put in them. Glass has a significant effect on the heat your house loses at night, the heat it gains during the day and noise levels from outside. Glass helps to determine the level of comfort, security and privacy in your home.

TIG units, low-e coated toughened glass
Transoms / Mullions
For increased thermal & acoustic properties, as well as increasing security. Our TIG units use 5/32” toughened glass outside, 5/16” cavity, 5/32” toughened, 5/16” cavity, 5/32” toughened Low-E glass on the inside.
Transoms are horizontal glazing bars that match the profile of the door. It divides the glass into two separate units, a unit at the top and a unit at the bottom of each door panel. Transoms are 3 5⁄32” wide for Aluminum/uPVC, 2 23⁄64” wide for timber doors.
Impact Glass Also known as laminated glass, consists of two layers of annealed or tempered glass with a layer of PVB or resin in between. This structure allows the glass to withstand pressure, making breakage less likely. If the outer glass breaks, the shattered pieces will adhere to the PVB film. In contrast, standard-glass windows are made of standard float glass that, when broken, will fracture in large sharp shards. Commonly used in vehicles, high-impact glass can also be used in homes for safety, security, sound reduction and UV control.

HOW TO MEASURE We manufacture precisely to your specification, SO PLEASE CHECK!
How do you open that space in your home to incorporate a bi-fold door? The first thing that you need is an opening to accommodate the door, the opening must be of sound structure to allow the bi-fold door to be installed correctly. The opening walls and floor must be constructed from structural timber, steel, brick, concrete or concrete block. Thermalite, cinder blocks or breeze blocks are not suitable to obtain a firm structural fixing. The head of the opening must be constructed from steel, structural timber or concrete. Light metal lintels and timber sub-frames are not suitable to obtain a firm structural fixing.
Measure the prepared opening
The next step is to measure your opening please refer to the diagrams. Frame Width Measurement from wall to wall of the prepared opening, then minus a tolerance of 1/2”. Frame Height Measured from the underside of the top support to the underside of the bottom track, then minus a tolerance of 1/4”-1/2”. Square Metre Area of the door; width x height equals the sq/ft of the door. Weight Weight is approximately 8lb per sq/ft (standard glass). • When measuring it is advisable to use a spirit level to indicate the correct size of door you require. Note: Always use the smallest measurement • Always include your chosen bottom track option in your measurements and remember to allow for floor finishes, tiles, carpet etc Threshold When deciding the way that you would like your threshold to be situated, always make allowances in your measurement to accommodate the bottom track. Note: the frame height includes the bottom track. Once you have your opening size, you need to decide which direction you would like your door to fold and if you would like it to fold to the left or to the right, inward or outward or both.
