FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Corner opening bi-fold doors are two runs of folding doors that meet at the corner of a room. When opened, both runs fold back against the adjoining walls and the corner is left completely clear, so two glazed walls disappear and the indoor and outdoor spaces join.

No fixed post remains in the corner once the doors are open. The two runs meet at a floating corner joint that travels with the panels, which is what allows the corner to open fully. A standard straight bi-fold run keeps a fixed post at each end of the opening.

Usually yes. If that corner currently carries load from the roof or the floor above, the load must be transferred to a beam or lintel before the post can be removed. A builder or structural engineer should assess this before the doors are ordered, because it affects the final opening size.

The panels fold back along the two walls that form the corner, stacking towards the outer end of each run. Each run can be configured to stack left, right or split, so the stacking direction is chosen to suit the space beside the opening and where you want the walkway kept clear.

Yes. Corner bi-fold doors can be installed internally to open up two adjoining rooms, or externally between a living area and a deck, courtyard or alfresco space. ASE manufactures both configurations, with the frame and glass specified to suit the position.

The folded panels sit against the wall at the end of each run, so allow clear wall space roughly equal to the width of one panel plus the frame depth. Planning this early matters, because furniture, a downpipe or an outdoor step can stop the panels folding flat.
