Where can I buy Frameless Glass Bi-Folding Doors?

An excellent question. The answer depends on where the doors will be installed. There are folding zig-zag glass-like screens for showers but if it refers to quality frameless glass doors as room dividers or patio / conservatory doors, we believe there is no answer because bi folding doors cannot be frameless.

Why is this? In order to fold, each panel of the glass doors must be affixed to its neighbour. Normally, because of the strength necessary to work with the weight of the doors, this involves hinges which are affixed to frames. The continental 'glass curtains' concept, instead of connecting a number of folding doors, is set up so that each panel moves independently. In general, they were designed as wind-breaks and, whilst they would hold off some rain, they were neither weather-proof nor did they attempt to provide heat insulation.

As an innovative manufacturer of doors, we at SunSeeker Doors spent several months developing a system that would meet strict UK building regulations for safety and thermal insulation values, whilst retaining essential features such as ease of use and, of course, weather resistance. 

We introduced our single glazed tempered glass doors as room dividers and enclosures whilst we tested and perfected the frameless double glazed doors version - it was essential to ensure that the doors fitted snugly together when closed. For best results, we use kite-marked double glazing units for all our patio doors:

• Frameless, 
• UltraSlim and our 
• Slimline Bi Folding Doors.

SunSeeker Doors have been manufacturing and installing our aluminium-framed Bi-folding Doors since 2003 and our Frameless double-glazed systems since 2008.
