Hardwood Vufold
The Hardwood VUFOLD doorsets are faced with 3mm laminations of prime grade timber, to produce a lustrous dark coloured appearance. The finish is a warm brown Sikkens translucent woodstain. It offers very good UV protection, and typically needs to be re-coated every two to five years*, subject to location, weather conditions etc.
*See Sikkens finishing instructions or visit http://www.sikkens.co.uk for further details.
Available as: 6', 8', 10', 12', 14' or 16'
6' - External Bifolding Hardwood Doors
equates to an outer frame size 1790mm (wide) x 2090mm (high)
The 6' doorset comprises three doors which all simultaneously fold open together. Simply unlock the set, open the internal drop bolts and the set glides open with a gentle push. Additionally, mindful of the need to satisfy typical "daily use", the third door hinges open and closed for easy access, meaning routine everyday chores like letting pets out or hanging out the washing can be done with ease.
8' - External Bifolding Hardwood Doors
equates to an outer frame size 2390mm (wide) x 2090mm (high)
As with the 6' set, the 8' set also comprises three doors, operates in exactly the same way and similarly incorporates a highly practical "daily access door".
10' - External Bifolding Hardwood Doors
equates to an outer frame size 2990mm (wide) x 2090mm (high)
A slightly different configuration to the 6' and 8' sets, the 10' set comprises four doors. Three doors fold open together and one door is separately hinged to use as a daily access door. A "French door" arrangement is also possible by opening the daily access door along with the adjacent leaf. Both the daily access door and the three folding doors can be opened at the same time, to achieve the widest possible opening. Simply open the access door, open the internal drop bolts on the three folding doors and the set glides open with a gentle push.
12' - External Bifolding Hardwood Doors
equates to an outer frame size 3590mm (wide) x 2090mm (high)
All five doors comprising this doorset open and fold together either left or right. Simply unlock the set, open the internal drop bolts and the set glides open with a push. One of the doors can also be used separately as a daily access door.
14' - External Bifolding Hardwood Doors
equates to an outer frame size 4190mm (wide) x 2090mm (high)
This set comprises six doors, three open to the left and the other three open to the right. This design means that the two middle doors can be opened separately, creating a wide access "French door" arrangement in the middle of the set. There is also a convenient daily access door. Simply unlock the daily access door, open the internal drop bolts and the two mirror image sets will glide open with a push, one set to the left, the other to the right.
16' - External Bifolding Hardwood Doors
equates to an outer frame size 4790mm (wide) x 2090mm (high)
Like the 14' set, the 16' set comprises six doors and operates in exactly the same way.
