Solarlux Highline Bi-Folding Door

AWARD-WINNING SYSTEM SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

With a building depth of 84mm, maximum panel width of 1.1 metres and a maximum height of 3.5 meters.

The Highline bi-folding door system boasts an unbroken, slim sight line of 99mm at the panel joint.

This is thanks to the heart of the bi-folding door, the bionicTURTLE®, a multi-functional break profile that combines a range of technical details.

Its shape helps to keep profiles extremely slim, even when using large and heavy panels.

It also houses the locking mechanism and fittings and guarantees perfect insulation.

As well as winning many design awards, the Highline is Secured by Design (SBD) accredited which is the UK official police security initiative that works to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work, shop and visit.
