What is a Folding Accordion Door?

June 23, 2022 | Security & Safety

A folding accordion door is made of a series of hinged glass panels that stack together neatly as they slide open. Offering both practical and aesthetic benefits, bi-fold sliding doors are a popular choice for businesses looking for an efficient way to manage space and create seamless transitions between rooms.

Folding doors are versatile and easy to operate. With minimal effort, you can draw them back to open up a room or push them forward to quickly close it off. Their clean, modern design makes them a perfect fit for any business or building, such as:

  • Bars
  • Restaurants
  • Gyms
  • Galleries
  • Banquet Halls
  • Shopping Centers
  • Storefronts
  • Offices
  • Hotels
  • Studios
  • Convention Centers
  • Warehouses

Installing folding doors allows fresh air to circulate, permits unhindered movement, and produces a bright, relaxing atmosphere with unobstructed views. When open, they free 90 percent of the door space and sit off to one side, completely out of the way. What’s more, folding accordion doors can be retrofitted to nearly any building. No matter the size, structure, or configuration, we can custom build them to meet the needs of your business.

Folding Door Construction

Folding doors not only create a better environment, they’re a durable, efficient, and adaptable solution. While most are made from glass and aluminum, you can wooden frames are also available to match the look and feel of your business. Owners can choose tinted, tempered, or laminated glass. Double or triple panes provide added security, while thermal glass prevents energy loss.

A functional and stylish addition to interior and exterior spaces, folding door systems connect your building, giving staff and customers quick and easy access to your business.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Excellent
Shay S.
Vortex crew was amazing to work with! From the from the field managers, office managers and technicians everyone are pleasant to talk to and very patient.
I had a commercial door that didn't lock so good, thought it need to be replaced so I called vortex for a quote knowing a store front door isn't a cheap buy.
When their field manager came to my store he told me that the door can be fixed and we don't need to replace it, in that moment I understood that they are a company that not try to push and sell you things you don't need but they actually come to help you and caring about your business.
After that experience I used them to fixed 2 other doors and a bunch of metal shutters in the same plaza. The technician who arrive (Josef) was amazing, I was very impressed with all of his knowledge, he came, fix everything (even what seems to look like unfixable), and do so with good energies and a smile.
The company I work for owning 4 different plazas and I hope nothing will ever brake but if something will I am feeling confident to have vortex number saved on my phone.
