Sliding and folding door systems
The doors are easy to open with minimal opening resistance. So, a gentle push is all it takes to open your wardrobe.
With soft-close systems, the doors can be opened and closed quietly and gently without those creaking noises.
Cushioned end stops and holds the door in place so that the door remains in its position unless you again move or close them.
The doors are also lockable with easy push locks.
Folding doors can be installed in two ways,
– One way – where doors open from one side and fold to the opposite side
– Bi-parting – where doors open from the centre and fold to both sides
And all the below elements are adjustable.
– Door height
– Door offset (distance between the front face of the wall and the front face of the door)
– Door reveal (distance between the face of the door out and the face of the frame on the push side of the door)
