SUPERSLIM BI-FOLD DOORS
PANORAMA SuperSlim bi-fold doors form part of the Ultimate Collection of products from John Fredericks, a range of products designed with the emphasis on quality and performance. These bi-fold doors don’t just look beautiful, but they operate effortlessly and maintain these standards for years to come.
AESTHETICS
The slim sightlines and large glass areas achieved with PANORAMA SuperSlim bi-fold doors, combine to provide a product that is perfectly suited to contemporary spaces. Equally as impressive whether viewed from the inside or outside of the property.
PERFORMANCE
PANORAMA products undergo stringent performance testing. Operation, strength, durability, acoustics, security, thermal performance and weather performance are amongst the many criteria tested.
BI-FOLD DOOR CONFIGURATIONS
Available in a number of configurations using up to 6 door leaves, you can specify a design where all the door leaves stack to the same side, or a design where some stack one way and some the other.
Choose whether you want the doors to open in or out, and remember that designs with a single traffic door enable you to slip quickly and easily into the garden, while leaving the other doors in place.

10 YEAR GUARANTEE

THERMAL EFFICIENCY
A combination of sophisticated aluminium chambered profile and high performance insulated glass sealed units used in PANORAMA SuperSlim bi-fold doors help to preserve heat inside properties.
EASE OF OPERATION
PANORAMA products utilise slim aluminium frames and innovative hardware, resulting in doors that operate smoothly and with little required force. Despite the slim appearance, the aluminium profile offers structural integrity and durability that will endure with only basic maintenance required.
SAFETY AS STANDARD
PANORAMA SuperSlim bi-fold doors include safety glass as standard (in line with Building Regulation requirements) so in the unfortunate event of accidental glass breakage, the possibility of injury from sharp glass edges is reduced.
CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
The PANORAMA SuperSlim bi-fold system is designed to minimise frame and sash sightlines and accentuate the glass area. With super-slim sightlines of just 107mm from ‘sash-to-sash’ and it’s super-easy knock-in glazing bead, this product not only looks good, it is a breeze to install.
With sash sizes available up to 1200mm wide and 2880mm high per pane, the PANORAMA SuperSlim bi-fold system offers market leading U-values when installed with energy efficient glazing, and is also secure to PAS24 as standard (subject to size and suitable glass being used (not available when using the optional low threshold)).
The doors can include up to 6 leaves in each direction, with opening from the left or from the right and inward or outward opening.
An optional moving corner post enables right angled bi-folding doors, including the return, to open out fully with the necessary structural support in place, with the option of a fixed corner.
Threshold Options
Standard Threshold
The 55mm standard threshold offers a full weather barrier, protecting the home from the elements on external bi-folding doors.
Low Threshold with / without Ramps
The 20mm Low Threshold is not designed to offer as much weather protection but does offer a less obtrusive threshold, ideal for use as a room divider and recommended for internal use only. In situations where it is impractical to sink a standard threshold below floor level this threshold (with or without additional ramps) may be a more suitable option for people with mobility issues. Care must be given to drainage/weatherproofing when using this type of threshold for external access.
Integrated Cill and Threshold
The 55mm integrated cill and threshold offers full weather rating on the lowest threshold and maximum overall sash height of the door leaf. The profile includes pre-drilled drainage slots along the inside face (available on outward opening bi-folding doors only).
