FOLDING DOORS GEAR
NOTE: THIS PAGE IS SOLELY INTENDED FOR THE BUYERS OF OUR WOODEN PREFAB HOUSES AS TO INFORM THEM ABOUT THE HARDWARE THAT WE WILL USE FOR THE DOORS AND WINDOWS. WE DO NOT SELL THIS HARDWARE SEPARATELY
GENERAL
For our folding doors gear we apply the Australia imported Henderson (©) system. This system was developed to enable almost any object to slide or fold. The gear systems are available as straight sliding or folding systems or be used in stacking doors/windows, pocket doors/windows or multiple grouped folding doors/windows. The system can alo be used for wardrobes, cabinets, cupboards, interior doors and room dividers (partitions). The residential gear application is considered to be any installation involving individual door weights of up to 100 kg. Door weights higher than100 kg. are required to use industrial gear. Doors/windows can be top hung or supported on bottom rollers depending upon the building structure and permissible loadings. We will advice on the gear to be selected. The gear system needs to be installed with utmost precision, since sliding/folding doors and windows have 6 degrees of freedom, viz; left, right, up, down and yaw to the rigth and left. The smallest installation mistake will result in serious problems.
WEATHER RESISTANCE
The exterior sliding/folding doors and windows offers extremely good resistance to weather wtih components highy resistant to corrosion, featuring stainless steel hinges and bearing (316 marine grade) and anodised aluminum support track (anodised to 25 micron). The etxterior doors/windows also include weather seals and anti-draught rubber seals.
