High-Quality Commercial Bifold Windows, 5-year Warranty

Folding windows, also known as bi-fold windows, are popular for their versatility and aesthetic appeal. They combine functionality with modern design, making them suitable for residential and commercial spaces.Folding windows are a type of window system that allows panels to fold and slide to the side, creating a seamless and open connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Their unique design maximizes ventilation, natural light, and accessibility. This mechanism consists of multiple panels hinged together, which operate along a track, enabling the windows to open entirely or partially, depending on user preferences.

Key Features of Folding Windows

1. Space-Saving Design: Folding windows open by stacking panels to the side, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces without obstructing the view or requiring additional interior space.
2. Material Options:
   • Aluminum: Known for its durability, light weight, and sleek appearance. Aluminum folding windows, such as the RICHOCEAN CHINA system, offer high thermal efficiency (Uw = 1.1) and robust frame depth (97 mm), making them an excellent choice for energy-efficient and large-scale installations.
   • uPVC and Wood: While aluminum is often preferred for modern builds, uPVC and wood alternatives offer different aesthetic and budget options.
3. Customization: Customers can choose panel configurations, colors, and finishes to match their architectural needs. Advanced systems like the RICHOCEAN offer glazing options up to 62mm and specialized finishes like wood-like textures.
4. Energy Efficiency: High-performance folding windows feature double or triple glazing, advanced gaskets, and thermal breaks to improve insulation. Some systems achieve Uw values as low as 0.8, ideal for energy-conscious projects.
5. Applications: Folding windows are widely used for patios, terraces, winter gardens, and interior partitions in modern spaces.

Pricing and Considerations

Installation Complexity: Costs also depend on installation requirements and the inclusion of special features like low-threshold designs or integrated blinds.

Price Range: Aluminum folding windows typically range from €1,600 to €6,000, depending on size, panel configuration, and additional customization. For instance, a 3-panel aluminum window (2000 x 2000 mm) may start around €2,500, while larger or more customized systems can exceed €5,000.
