All You Need To Know About HaloGlass’ ALT BF73 Bi-Fold Door System

Coming in several types, aluminum doors offer an incomparable combination of strength and style. Among them, bi-fold doors are known for their wide range of designs and applications. So builders and contractors should not be surprised if they notice an increase in orders and installation requests for this door type. 

Modern buildings demand systems that integrate seamlessly into their facade and provide a sleek connection between various spaces anyway, and that is why HaloGlass, suppliers of functionally beautiful aluminum doors, designed its ALT BF73 Bi-Fold Door System. 

This comprehensive assembly pairs expansive glazing and flexible opening configurations with thermally insulated aluminum profiles for all-weather comfort. But there is more to it. So today’s blog from us will cover everything you need to know about our advanced ALT BF73 Bi-Fold Door System.

What Are ALT BF73 Bi-Fold Doors?

The ALT BF73 is a bi-fold door system from HaloGlass that features aluminum frames and large glazing to create wide transitions between an indoor and an outdoor space. Designed to include multiple panels that fold together when open, our bi-fold doors allow access to more expansive views as opposed to standard sliding doors, which feature at least one fixed panel that cannot be opened. 

Perfect for use in residential and commercial buildings, our bi-fold doors can be installed in a wide array of spaces including terrace entrances, showrooms, conference halls, and hotel suites. Their seamless connection between adjoining spaces allows the creation of more visually open areas with ample ventilation and natural light. In fact, they fit very well into expansive layouts.  

Since we offer the ALT BF73 with insulated profiles, builders can safely install them in green projects or other developments that prioritize energy savings along with all-year-round occupant comfort.

Key Features of our ALT BF73 Bi-Fold Doors

A part of our extensive catalog of folding doors, the ALT BF73 bi-fold system offers distinct features that give it an edge over similar commonly available doors in the market. These include:

• Wide openings 

Bi-fold doors are purpose-built to create broad, accessible openings, and the ALT BF73 takes that up a notch. This system can be configured to support up to 14 door leaves, with a maximum of 7 of them folding in one single direction. This makes them perfect for luxury projects that demand grand, statement-making transitions between rooms and decks. 

• Inward-outward openings 

The ALT BF73 can be configured to open inwards or outwards, depending on the project’s layout. For example, if indoor surrounding space is limited, this door system can be arranged to open outwards. Builders can also factor in their project’s circulation requirements to determine the best opening direction. 

• Large glazed panels 

Capable of accommodating individual door leaves that can reach a maximum height of 3000mm along with a maximum width of 1200mm, with the total leaf weight not exceeding 120kg, our ALT BF73 door system can support really large glass panels. It takes an incredible amount of engineering to maintain the flexibility of folding doors while installing massive glazing in an infill thickness that is not permitted to go beyond 44mm. 

• Thermal performance and weather resistance

While our bi-fold doors look impressive beyond a doubt, they also double down on performance. They are designed to withstand outdoor exposure while managing heat transfer in an energy-efficient manner. Featuring thermally insulated profiles with the option to install double- and triple-glazed panels, our doors meet DSER B and DSER C ratings for energy efficiency. 

• Security and smooth operation 

Security, privacy, and reliable operation are other areas where the ALT BF73 delivers. Meeting the standard PAS 24:2016, Class D for burglar resistance, our door system protects occupants from outdoor hazards, ensuring complete peace of mind. It also makes use of premium fittings that guarantee smooth operation for years to come.

Conclusion

Available in anodized, powder coated, and wood-grain effect, and perfect for residential buildings, commercial spaces, and much more, the ALT BF73 from HaloGlass is not an average door system. It is an exquisite specimen of fine craftsmanship meeting high-performance features that are oriented towards maximizing occupant comfort.
