What is a folding door?
It is a door that is segmented into several parts and works by means of a rail, which allows easy mobility and displacement. Thus, when opened, all the panels are stretched, giving the image of a kind of sliding door, or a hinged door. When closed, they are placed together one next to the other, simulating a kind of accordion, these being the most common. However, there are other types of folding doors, such as those that contain only two panels, each opening to the rear.
Utility and benefits of folding doors in your home
Folding doors offer a large number of advantages and benefits, especially in small homes. Among which we can highlight are:
