Carl F Groupco, the established distributor of fittings to the window and door industries, reports growth in demand for hardware designed to support the bi-fold door market.
A flagship product for this market is the T-Fold folding sliding door kit – a fully inclusive solution for bi-fold doors available exclusively from Carl F Groupco.
Manufactured in the UK, the T-Fold is understood to be the first complete hardware ‘kit in a box’ designed specifically for timber bi-fold doors.
A key benefit of the T-Fold is major simplification of the ordering and assembly process. With add on packages for additional door leaves, rapid product sourcing is enabled and a harmonised solution is provided.
Supporting the bi-fold boom, Carl F Groupco confirms the continued success of the popular FS Portal hardware for aluminium, PVCu and timber profiles. The improved ‘FS Portal PLUS’ hardware is available from the fittings supplier with enhancements to provide a low threshold bottom track, now fitted with brush pile to reduce debris and aid smooth operation.
Carl F Groupco attributes three key reasons for the growth in popularity for folding sliding doors: living areas are enhanced at a time when many people can’t afford to move, space is maximised and natural light is increased.
