Valdi probably have more experience and knowledge than any other timber manufacturer in the UK and have lead the way in design and innovation seen throughout
the industry today. However for those of you just starting out and learning the good from the bad we hope
the following information helps.
The concept of folding sliding doors originally came from countries with much warmer climates than our own, where commercial bar/restaurant owners and home owners wanted to open their buildings up and enjoy the weather while still being inside, out of the direct heat of the sun. Traditionally buildings would have multiple French doors as this was seen as the only way to maximize the openings. The alternative, a sliding patio door, would always have at least one panel in the way.
When folding sliding doors came onto the scene it revolutionized everything as it meant that a whole wall could be opened up allowing owners of restaurants and bars to give their patrons an "inside outside" option without compromise.
Originally very expensive the average home owner was priced out of the market. Also doors would often require large heavy top/bottom runners. However, time has passed and folding sliding doors have now come a long way. Hinge manufacturers such as Centor and Valdi have near perfected the hinge designs and as such these tried and tested doors have become hugely popular with people around the world. With our warming climate and our lust to enjoy our homes and gardens, folding sliding doors are the only modern choice and a great way of enjoying those Indian summers.
Folding sliding doors can be made in any configuration but typically buyers will look for one that allows for the first panel to become an everyday door and in doing so eradicate the need for an extra back door.
