Hello,

Has anyone here installed a "solid" folding door?

We would like to install a door for a 2m (6 ft 7 in) wide opening between the kitchen and the living/dining area. In addition to a sliding door, we have now come across a folding door but have found very few suppliers offering these for interior use.

Thank you and best regards

I had to read it twice myself. 🙂
When I type folding doors into Google, I get a bunch of suggestions.

I only know of two that have a folding door – both are new constructions from the early 1970s – and in both cases, these doors were always left open back then. At least when friends were around – I don’t think it was any different otherwise.
My parents used to have a curtain between the kitchen and dining area – this was also used very little and has probably been left wide open for about 20 years or so.

Unfortunately, not what we are looking for. Mostly, you find solutions for conservatories, offices, or the cheap PVC option. A system with, for example, aluminum frames with glass inserts is mostly available only for outdoor use, which unfortunately isn’t what we want.

It’s basically a compromise between an open and a closed kitchen. We had planned a sliding door here, but a folding door caught our attention (unfortunately I can’t post a link), and the supplier is from Italy. So far, I haven’t been able to find a source or alternatives.

So, why don't you describe what you have in mind?

We are looking for a folding door for a 2m (6.6 feet) wide wall opening. It should have 2 door panels and preferably be made of aluminum/glass or similar materials.

When I search for folding walls online, I find various solutions to separate conservatories. This is exactly what we are looking for, but for indoor use only.
