What are the advantages and disadvantages of different types of aluminum alloy folding doors?

2024-08-05 Back

Aluminum alloy folding doors are classified into the following types according to different methods:

According to the style: mainly divided into side-mounted folding doors and push-pull folding doors. Side-mounted folding doors move along the upper guide rail through the guide wheel on the upper part of the door leaf to achieve the folding and opening of the door leaf; push-pull folding doors are pushed and folded through the pulley or track at the bottom.


According to the ease of installation: can be divided into simple folding doors and complex folding doors. The hinges for connecting the folding door leaf of simple folding doors are relatively special; the upper and lower tracks of complex folding doors use rotating hardware accessories.


According to the method of use: there are manual folding doors, electric (traditional) folding doors, and electric (dual-machine) folding doors. Manual folding doors require manual operation of the switch; electric (traditional) folding doors realize automatic opening and closing through motors, racks and other devices; electric (dual-machine) folding doors rely on two sets of crank-type door opening mechanisms to complete the opening and closing actions.


According to regional characteristics: there are southern and northern differences. The northern style is more stable, often with elements such as lattice and aluminum flowers, among which Tangge is the most distinctive; the southern style is relatively lively and diverse.


The following are the advantages and disadvantages of some common types of aluminum alloy folding doors:

Side-mounted aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: This door has a beautiful appearance and can enhance the indoor decoration effect. At the same time, the side-mounted design can effectively save space and is more convenient to use.

Disadvantages: The side-mounted aluminum alloy folding door needs to be installed on one side of the door opening, so it takes up a certain amount of space. In addition, if the weight of the door leaf is large, it may cause the door leaf to sag, affecting the use effect.


Sliding aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: Simple and generous shape, good decorative effect; made of aluminum alloy and tempered glass, made of hardware, not only has good flame retardancy, but also has added sealing strips, good sealing and sound insulation effect.


Disadvantages: If it is not properly maintained during use, it is easy to fade. In addition, although the aluminum alloy profile is scratch-resistant, it will leave scratches if it is not used carefully, which is difficult to repair later. During use, it needs to be folded or pushed and pulled frequently, and the use rate is very high, so it is also easy to damage, especially the pulleys, hinges and other accessories. If there is a failure, it will greatly affect the use, and even the situation of not being able to open or close will occur.


Simple aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: The price is relatively low, and the installation and maintenance are relatively simple.

Disadvantages: The sealing and thermal insulation of simple aluminum alloy folding doors are relatively poor, and they are not suitable for use in cold areas.


Complex aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: The sealing and thermal insulation of complex aluminum alloy folding doors are better, and the appearance is more beautiful and generous.

Disadvantages: The price is relatively high, and the installation and maintenance are also relatively complicated.


Manual aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: The price of manual aluminum alloy folding doors is relatively low, and the operation is relatively simple.

Disadvantages: Manual operation is required, which is not suitable for the elderly and disabled.


Electric (traditional) aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: It can be opened and closed automatically by the motor, which is convenient to use.

Disadvantages: The price is relatively high, and regular maintenance and upkeep are required.


Electric (dual-machine) aluminum alloy folding door:

Advantages: It relies on two sets of crank-type door opening mechanisms to complete the opening and closing action, which makes the door opening and closing smoother and safer.

Disadvantages: The price is relatively high, and professional installation and maintenance are required.
