- Floating Corner Mechanism: The two bifold door systems meet at a specially designed rebated corner post. This post has locking pins at top and bottom that engage into the frame when closed. Upon unlocking, the post hinges and slides out with the door panels. Heavy-duty hinges and guides ensure smooth operation and alignment when opening or closing the corner.
- Configurations & Sizes: Suitable for right-angled corners (90°). Each side can be configured with 2–7 panels depending on the wall length. When both sides open, you get nearly the full width of each side open (minus a small storage area for stacked panels). Maximum panel sizes generally up to ~1000 mm wide by 2500 mm high per panel (we will confirm based on system limits). For very large openings, consider combining with a fixed post for part of the corner or a moving post at one end only – we can discuss custom solutions.
- Weatherproof Design: The corner post has dual weather seals that compress into the opposing frame when locked, keeping wind and rain out. The threshold at the corner is continuous, with drainage designed to handle water even at the corner junction. The system is tested to typical standards (e.g., Class 4 air permeability, Class E750 water tightness, etc.) comparable to standard bifolds.
- Threshold Options: Usually supplied with a flush track/low threshold at the corner for a seamless floor transition. Because two sides meet, we carefully configure the threshold intersection to remain flush and prevent water ingress (often adding a small concealed drain or sump at the corner). Raised thresholds are also available if a higher weather rating is needed (e.g. very exposed locations).
- Accessory Integration: These corner bifolds can incorporate our standard bifold accessories – integrated blinds in glass, trickle vents (in door frame sections on adjacent walls), and more. We also coordinate with building elements like corner post footings or integrated steel posts (in rare cases where a removable steel post might be used for extreme spans).
