About Our Wooden Folding Doors
Wooden Folding Doors for Patios and Living Areas
Our wooden folding doors (also called stacking doors) create a wide, seamless opening between indoor and outdoor spaces. Each unit is custom-made to size, so we can match your existing openings or design a new feature for your patio, dining room, or entertainment area.
We manufacture our folding doors from quality Meranti or Saligna hardwood, selected for strength, stability, and long-term performance. These timbers offer a warm, natural look that works beautifully with both classic and contemporary architecture.
Timber, Finishes and Glass Options
Timber Choices, Finishes and Glazing
You can choose between Meranti or Saligna for your wooden folding doors, depending on the aesthetic and budget you prefer. Both timber options are suitable for external use when sealed and maintained correctly.
- Suitable for exterior and semi-exterior applications

- Designed with proper glass rebates and weather seals for a neat, professional finish

FAQ – Wooden Folding Doors
Frequently Asked Questions
Are wooden folding doors suitable for exterior use?

Which timber should I choose, Meranti or Saligna?
Both hardwoods perform well. Meranti is popular for its rich appearance, while Saligna offers a different texture and can be a more cost-effective choice.
Do the doors come with an aluminium sill?
Many models include an aluminium sill for moisture protection, especially useful for patio and outdoor openings.
Can I order a custom size?
Yes. We manufacture within a certain range, but we work according to the sizes provided by your installer or builder.

- Treat all six sides with exterior varnish before installation
- Store doors vertically in a dry, ventilated space
- Ensure external sills slope outward for proper water drainage
- Do not install flush against the wall (prevents pressure on the frame)
- Secure the frame and double-check for squareness
- Adjust rollers for smooth folding
- Use 6.38mm laminated or toughened safety glass
