WHAT IS A THERMAL BREAK ALUMINUM FOLDING SLIDING DOOR?
A thermal break aluminum folding sliding door is a modern door system that uses insulated aluminum profiles combined with a flexible folding-sliding mechanism. It is designed to optimize space and deliver outstanding thermal and acoustic insulation. This type of door is ideal for villas, urban residences, resorts, and high-end hotels due to its refined aesthetics, maximum opening capability, and energy efficiency.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The door operates through a system of foldable hinges and sliding rails, allowing the panels to stack neatly to one side. When closed, the panels interlock tightly, ensuring high airtightness. When opened, they fold to one side, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces while saving space.
The thermal break system includes non-conductive materials such as polyamide strips placed between aluminum components to prevent heat transfer. This design minimizes heat exchange, noise transmission, and structural vibration.
