What it is

In plain terms

Questions

Common buyer questions

How much of the opening clears?

Most of it — the panels concertina and stack to the side, far more open than a slider. Exact clear width depends on panel count and stacking.

How many panels can it have?

It is configured to the span and how you want it to stack. We work this out at measurement.

Does it seal when shut?

Yes — interlocks and weatherstripping run along the closed line. Build and fit quality matter, which is why we make to size.

Can one panel work as a normal door?

Often a single leaf can be configured as a day-to-day access door. Tell us and we will set it up.

Is it suitable for the monsoon?

Closed and correctly fitted it is weather-sealed. We will go through threshold and drainage details for your site.
