LaCantina is an Australian company founded over 15 years ago. They were the first company to set up production facilities dedicated to Bi-Fold doors in the United States and Australia and make a great addition to our folding door options.

Development

LaCantina believes they have perfected their bifold door design through customer feedback and product testing. They have developed their own unique door panel with a narrow-stile and rail profile to allow the right balance of glass and light and to emphasize open spaces.

Custom Design

The company has developed and engineered many of their doors components to ensure that the doors are of the highest quality and maintain superior performance and sustainability. Each door can be custom made for each customer with no limit on the quantity of doors ordered. LaCantina doors are backed by a 10-year limited warranty in the United States.

Environment

LaCantina Doors strives to be environmentally responsible and supportive of green building practices by using recycled packaging materials and FSC approved wood products. These folding doors contribute to improved natural daylight and fresh air ventiliation, two major parts of green design.

Jeld-Wen introduced its IWP Folding Door System on May 24, 2006 at the International Builders Show. The doors feature the elegance of a classic French door with the ease and access of a sliding door.

These folding door systems can be customized with solid wood panels with the Jeld-Wen Custom Wood line. The panels and be stained, painted, or primed with Low-E glass (an energy efficient option) and the door frame can be clad with a choice of Jeld-Wen's standard colors to match the building's windows. The doors also feature drop bolts and five-point locking hardware for added security.

"This beautiful door is perfect for traditional, as well as contemporary homes; anywhere you want free-flowing access from inside to out," said Shane Meisel, product marketing manager for JELD-WEN doors. "It is a great combination of bold style that makes a dramatic statement, yet it is also highly functional."

The door system operates "accordion style"; the door panels slide on an overhead track and fold together. Standard configurations range from two doors to up to eight three-foot doors (24 feet wide) and coordinating frame widths. Special-order options include wood door heights up to 12 feet and an opening width of up to 48 feet.

No other folding door system has the option for Jeld-Wen's Custom Fiberglass door panels that "look more like wood than wood." These fiberglass doors can withstand the rigors of hurricane winds, snowy blizzards, and pouring rains with virtually no maintenance.

90 degree Folding Door Systems

On May 30, 2007 Jeld-Wen added a new option to its Exterior Folding Door Systems: a true 90-degree corner that can be completely opened to the outdoors. These folding door units meet at the corner, where two walls would ordinarily join.

When opening the doors, they fold back accordion-style from the corner inward. Beveled door edges and double weatherstrips ensure that the units are sealed against the elements. With no need for a structural corner post.

Shane Meisel, a Jeld-Wen product marketing manager, said that because of the interest in folding door systems the company decided to add new features, like the zero-post and 90-degree options.
