Frameless Folding Glass – DGU:

It is a great alternative to the traditional bulky framed aluminum door systems while keeping low levels of U-value. Widely used as a house patio door, It offers completely clear glass views, coupled with the benefit of being fully retractable at the user’s free will. For ease of use every frameless door comes with an access door as standard for daily tasks. Folding panels can be stacked easily within just a few minutes. All of our glass patio doors are completely custom built to match the exact measurements of your particular opening. We developed one of the original aluminum bi-folding door systems in 2003, and since then have been designing and testing different door systems so we can stay at the pinnacle of glass door technology. In 2009 we then developed the DGU Folding Glass System, which comprises of large glass panels and a unique compression locking system for added security and weather protection. It has been widely known in the industry that customers demand large glass doors for added visibility and a modern look, which is why our innovative new range of exterior glass doors was developed.

 

Thermal efficiency and Weather Protection

All of our double glazed glass patio doors utilize our unique weather protection and Schlegal compression locking systems. This is how we reach a thermal efficiency rating (U value) can go down to 1.2 watts per square meter. Glass has much higher thermal efficiency rating than compared with aluminum, hence why we can reach such a low u value rating. This means that the our glass doors can be used all year round, regardless of any weather conditions.

 

How They Work?

Each panel is held in place by the bottom and top thermally broken aluminum rails. The first stage to open the frameless glass door is to open the access panel so it is on one side of the rail at a 45 degree angle. The next panel can then be slid along the rail to meet the access panel, and then opened to a 45 degree angle. The same process is followed for all the other panels until every panel is on one side of the door system, with every panel stacked at a 45 degree angle. Your exterior glass door is now completely open as if it never existed!

Using our leading weather protection system, our doors will withhold a variety of weather conditions, and therefore are suitable for high temperature in UAE. They are 100% waterproof and we also offer a complete manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind. The use of our frameless door is similar to a folding sliding door system, but cannot be compared as they rely on thick and bulky frames to support each panel.
