Aluminum Folding Glass Doors and Windows

Features

Lanai Doors™ top-hung aluminum folding door and window systems are a great alternative to traditional French doors, sliders, pocket doors and pass-thru windows in residential, hospitality and commercial applications. Our systems are installed from the Virgin Islands to the Hawaiian Islands; from The Hamptons to Costa Rica. Aluminum is a long-lasting low maintenance non-warping alternative to wood. Aluminum doors and windows give you more finishing alternatives with the retro look of clear anodized or the warmth of bronze anodized; and painted finish to match existing wood, clad or vinyl doors and windows. Aluminum doors and windows maximize your view when the system is locked down because of the narrow 3 inch wide styles and 3 ½ inch wide rails.

Quality; Flexibility; and Creativity

We use various southern California aluminum extruders to manufacture all of our aluminum bifolding system components. We design and maintain our own dies, which allow us to decide when and how we enhance and improve our folding system. As an example of our flexibility, in 2007, based on customer demand, Lanai Doors™ now offers a low-rise threshold. We use the highest quality 6063-T5 aluminum, commonly referred to as the architectural alloy, which has a high degree of resistance to corrosion.

Extremely Large Openings and Multiple Configurations

The maximum size aluminum door panel is 45" wide by 13' 1" tall, up to 250 pounds, and 1-¾" thick. A single system can be as large as 68 feet wide by 13 feet tall. In a 68 foot wide system, that would equate to nearly 60 feet of glass – what a view. Lanai Doors™ aluminum folding door and window systems can be configured to stack outside or inside your house. You also have the option of any combination of panels stacking either to the left or to the right, neither direction to exceed eight folding panels. These industry leading options allow you to Bring The Outdoors In in a big way.

Shipped Broken Down For On-Site Assembly

The frame and door panels are pre-drilled with hardware and weather stripping already attached. The frame is broken down into its four pieces (header, two jambs and threshold) and panels are shipped individually. Lanai Doors™ provides detailed installation guidelines and you are able to use your own experienced installers.

Lanai Doors™ is now Hurricane Certified. Please check out our Hurricane Door and Window page for more information.

Not Thermally Broken
