Introducing Partner Dooor
Folding or bi-fold doors make use of limited space by opening in panelized or pleated sections, with the sections gathering compactly against the door frame. They are useful in spaces like hallways or between living spaces that are too compact to support circulation around the full swing of single-leaf doors. Folding doors are also practical for installation in larger openings, where they can be partially or fully opened to provide a flexible range of space-use scenarios, even working like screens to partition off living or working areas. Folding doors are also more adaptable and require less wall thickness than typical pocketed sliding doors.
Inspired by the possible opportunities for well-designed folding doors in contemporary living, Fr... More

FoldFlat
NanaWall Systems introduces the industry-first FoldFlat®, which allows glass wall panels to fold and then pivot all the way back to stack out of the way, parallel to the opening. Useful for patios, decks and balconies where space is a premium, the FoldFlat eliminates the issue of the panels sticking out into the outdoor space.
“Standard folding glass walls protrude onto the deck or patio because they can only stop halfway at 90 degrees,” said NanaWall Systems CEO Ebrahim Nana. "With NanaWall FoldFlat, we have invented a solution for builders and homeowners to gain back that living space by folding the panels a full 180 degrees, entirely against the wall.”
Available in both aluminum and wood-framed options, the NanaWall FoldFla... More
