Highline bi-folding door
With a minimum sightline of only 99 mm in the panel joint and panel height of up to 3.5 metres
With a building depth of 84 mm, maximum panel width of 1.1 metres and maximum height of 3.5 metres, the aluminium Highline bi-folding door system boasts an unbroken, slim sight line of 99 mm at the panel joint.
This is thanks to the heart of the bi-folding door: the bionicTURTLE®, a multi-functional break profile that houses the locking mechanism and the fittings while keeping the profiles exceptionally slim.
The Highline bi-folding door is PAS 24:2016 certificated.
