BI-FOLDING DOORS ORPINGTON

Impeccably designed, bi-folding doors feature a series of panels that effortlessly glide and fold along a track, seamlessly connecting your indoor and outdoor spaces. With their versatile functionality, these doors provide panoramic views and a smooth transition to your patio.

Meticulously engineered, each panel is connected with exact precision, enabling them to gracefully fold open and closed for a seamless and elegant operation.

A bi-fold threshold acts as a track for the door carriage to smoothly glide along when being opened or closed. Origin recommends using a weathered (also called a ‘rebated’) threshold, which is unobtrusively installed into the floor, resulting in a very small 14mm lip from the outside to the inside. This design allows the bottom seal of the bi-fold door to press against the lip, creating a secure seal that safeguards it against severe weather.

In contrast, non-weathered thresholds offer a flat transition between interior and exterior spaces. While they lack a raised section, they do not provide the best weatherproofing performance since the door seal does not have the solid lip to press against. These thresholds are only suitable for internal or sheltered spaces.
