  • What are the differences between aluminium sliding doors, folding doors, and swing doors?
    A folding door is a door system consisting of multiple door panels connected by rails and hinges, which can be folded open in one or both directions. The door panels can be opened or closed using either bottom load-bearing rails or top-hung suspension rails. Differences between folding doors and sliding doors: Building on the design of sliding doors, folding doors incorporate opening and closing mechanisms. When pulled open by external force, these mechanisms, together with top and bottom pivots, allow the door to fold open. Folding doors enhance coordination between interior and exterior spaces, improve a home’s openness and permeability, and create an unlimited extension of outdoor space, with flexible opening configurations available. Like sliding doors, folding doors mainly consist of top-hung rails, rollers, hinges and other high-quality hardware components. When assembled with aluminum extrusion profile, they form a highly competitive product. Folding doors come in many types, classified by factors such as opening style and material. We will focus on bottom-rail load-bearing and top-hung load-bearing types. Which load-bearing system to choose depends on your actual situation. Bottom-rail folding doors offer greater stability, with a more balanced center of gravity when sliding, making them less prone to shaking. In addition, they are relatively easy to install and have no special requirements for surrounding walls or door beams. In contrast, top-hung folding doors require careful consideration of weight distribution and are more complex to install. Furthermore, folding doors with a bottom-rail load-bearing design tend to trap dust and are difficult to clean, while top-hung models are much easier to maintain. Bottom-rail folding doors follow better mechanical principles, offering higher durability and a longer service life. Top-hung systems place greater weight-bearing pressure on the track, and their maintenance is more complicated. In addition, top-hung folding doors require more hardware components and demand higher performance standards for such parts. If you choose a top-hung design, it is recommended to leave a clearance of 10–20 millimeters during installation to avoid aluminium profile scratching the wall. When selecting aluminium profiles window and door the final decision should be made based on your actual usage environment.
