Bifold Exterior Doors
For clear, unobstructed openings, choose expansive bifold exterior doors. With panels folding to the exterior and stacking at the sides, these door systems intentionally provide the spaciousness you and your clients' desire. With an optional flush sill detailing helps create a seamless transition from the interior to the exterior, they are popular for restaurant facades, pool enclosures and porches.

Wood Species & Finishes
Duratherm sources all materials by project — from only providers we know and trust. Many of our woods are from Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC- C108949) certified sources. We obtain others from sustainably harvested plantations. Fourteen domestic and exotic wood species offer a wide range of colors, grains, and textures.
Please contact us for information about finishing options (including paint, Sikkens, clear lacquer, stain, bleach stain, oil, etc.) and to discuss the use of a species not in our standard offering. We consider availability, durability, machining, and gluing characteristics to determine the feasibility of your choices.

Glazing
Dry Glazing
Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, low maintenance and water resistant.

Wet Glazing
Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus, our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
