Folding Door
Panoramic opening, modularity and high-end architecture
The TAKE-DECOR Folding Door turns a traditional opening into a genuine architectural continuity between indoors and outdoors. Designed for large glazed openings, terraces, contemporary villas and premium spaces, it combines aluminium, transparency, performance, minimalist design and made-to-measure fabrication.
An opening that disappears to reveal the space
The Aluminium Folding Door, also known as an Aluminium Accordion Door, Folding Bay, Folding French Door or Bi-Fold Door, is made up of several hinged leaves that slide and fold laterally to free up a very large part of the opening.
Depending on the configuration, it combines high-end aluminium profiles, thermal break, guide rails, high-resistance carriages, reinforced hinges, weatherstripping and insulated or safety glazing.
The system can accommodate double glazing, laminated glass, tempered glass or solar-control glazing, with a standard or low threshold. It offers a controlled combination of large dimensions, panoramic opening, stability, smooth operation, thermal and acoustic insulation, weatherproofing, security and architectural refinement.

Solutions, performance and architecture
TAKE-DECOR designs, studies, manufactures and installs custom aluminium folding doors, configured according to the opening's dimensions, the project's architecture, structural constraints, climatic exposure, glazing and the level of performance sought.
Every project rests on a complete approach: measurement, technical study, sizing, choice of aluminium profiles, leaf configuration, glazing selection, study of rails and rolling systems, workshop manufacturing, alignment checks, adjustments, professional installation and architectural finishes.
The goal is not simply to fit a door, but to integrate a high-performing, precise aluminium architectural solution consistent with the building's identity.
High-end & architecture
A High-End Aluminium Folding Door stands out through the slenderness of its lines, its large glazed surfaces and the precision of its assembly.
Premium aluminium profiles, powder coating, RAL colours, anodising depending on the system, designer handles, high-end hardware, quiet rolling, a discreet threshold and customised configurations combine to create joinery perfectly integrated into contemporary architecture.
Transparency, light, minimalism and elegance give rise to an opening conceived as a genuine architectural element.
Accessories & fittings
Fittings available depending on configuration:
- Aluminium or stainless-steel designer handles
- Multipoint locks
- Security cylinders
- Anti-intrusion devices depending on system
- Reinforced hinges
- High-resistance carriages
- Rolling wheels
- Aluminium rails
- Recessed rails
- Low threshold
- PMR-compliant threshold when compatible
- EPDM seals
- Weatherstrip brushes
- Stops
- Leaf locks
- Locking systems
Glazing available depending on configuration

Blinds and solar shading can also be studied when compatible with the system chosen.
Why choose this solution?
The advantages
Panoramic opening
The leaves fold laterally to clear a large part of the bay and create a spectacular connection between indoors and outdoors. Natural light, transparency and the sense of space become fully part of the architecture.
Architecture & design
With its clean lines, large glazed surfaces and multiple finishes, the TAKE-DECOR Folding Door accompanies villas, terraces, hotels, restaurants and high-end architectural projects in a resolutely contemporary aesthetic.
Performance & comfort
Depending on the system, glazing and configuration chosen, the solution can combine thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, weatherproofing, stability, security and smooth operation for lasting everyday comfort.
Custom design & modularity
Number of leaves, opening direction, dimensions, glazing, RAL colours, handles, rails and thresholds can be configured to the project. TAKE-DECOR adapts every folding bay to the technical constraints and architectural intent.

Aluminium Folding Door FAQ
What is an aluminium folding door?
The aluminium folding door, also known as an accordion door or folding bay, is a joinery product made of several hinged leaves that fold laterally to free up a very large part of the opening.
What is the difference between a folding door and a sliding bay?
A folding door opens almost the entire bay by folding its leaves against one another, while a sliding bay always keeps at least one fixed leaf in front of the opening. A folding door therefore offers a more complete panoramic opening.
Can a folding door be installed on a large opening?
Yes, the aluminium folding door is specifically designed for large openings: the number of leaves and their configuration are adapted to the width and height of the bay according to the project.
Can an aluminium folding door take double glazing?
Yes, depending on the system chosen, the folding door can incorporate insulated double glazing, laminated, tempered or solar-control glazing, according to the performance sought.
Are thermal-break folding doors available?
Yes, TAKE-DECOR offers thermal-break configurations to improve thermal insulation and comfort, depending on the system and the project's requirements.
Where can an aluminium accordion bay be installed?
The aluminium accordion bay suits terraces, balconies, patios, verandas, glazed façades and extensions, as well as residential and professional projects seeking a wide opening to the outdoors.
Can the colours be customised?
Yes, the aluminium profiles can be powder-coated in different RAL colours, depending on the system and configuration chosen.
Does TAKE-DECOR manufacture custom folding doors?
Yes, every folding door is studied, sized and manufactured to measure by TAKE-DECOR, from technical study through to installation and final inspection.
