Frequently asked questions
How many panels will my opening need?
Roughly one panel per 2-2.5 ft of width - a 12 ft opening usually folds as 5 panels.
Are folding doors weatherproof?
Quality systems with brush seals and proper thresholds handle monsoon fine; cheap hardware is where leaks start.
Folding vs sliding - price difference?
Folding runs 2-3x a slider of the same size, but opens the full width instead of half.
