Hafele releases new folding patio door brochure.

Hafele UK, the leading suppliers of sliding and folding hardware in the UK, have launched a new 12 page brochure featuring their popular folding door system, the Hafele E3.

The Hafele E3 is designed for residential or commercial installations and each door can weigh up to 80kgs, opening inwards or outwards.

Because the system is top hung on highly engineered trolley hangers, the panels will open effortlessly even when operating with the maximum of 16 panels, of up to 1000mm wide.

Because the hardware has gone through extensive weather and performance testing, Hafele can offer a 10 year guarantee on this product.

And it utilises the properties of stainless steel and non-ferrous materials to achieve outstanding corrosion resistance even in the most hostile environments, including coastal applications.

Design and installation of the system is made easy, as all the panels are an equal size and can be up to 1000mm wide and 3000mm high.

A system called Sure-lock on the pivots and carriers allows the door panels to be lifted or lowered simply with just a screwdriver.

There are no lock nuts which could come undone or spanners to lose.

If the house settles over time, the panels can be easily adjusted without any fuss.

Gary Turner Technical Sales Manager for Hafele UK comments "Architects and Clients want a flexible design that allows the outside to be part of the building, no fixed glass panels and no mullions or posts, just wide open space".

"Using the Hafele E3 system, you can have this flexibility to easily open the panels, in a quick single movement, but when the doors are closed the building is protected from the worst of the British Weather".
