Description

This folding door system is ideal for very wide openings, indeed unlimited widths to be exact.

The Osprey manually operated folding door is tested for over 250,000 continuous operations. It is a simple, robust multi leaf door system which will provide many years of trouble free operation and service.

Constructed from double skinned steel panels which are either 52mm (up to 6m high) or 62mm (over 6m high) in depth with a CFC free foam filled core.
It is a top hung, flat panelled, folding door, where the door leaves can be either fully floating or hinged at one jamb, depending in the application. The leaves can hang on the inside face (back) of the opening or inbetween and fold up to 90 degrees inwards.
 
Just like all our folding doors the option for a pedestrian wicket door is a great optional feature allowing pedestrians to access without touching any part of the main door and leaving all leaves secured in place. This not only increases security and controls pedestrian access but it helps maintain the buildings atmosphere and temperature
 
An extremely versatile folding door, the Osprey combines robust design with modern appearance to provide the ideal door system for wider span openings.

with L bracket stiffeners and 5mm thick local reinforcement for hardware.

Inside face in LG Plastisol in White. All hinges and drop bolt sleeves are black polyester
powder coated in RAL 9005(M).
 
Option 2
Inside and outside faces of panels are polyester powder coated in a choice of 40 stock RAL
Colours *. All hinges and drop bolt sleeves are black polyester powder coated in RAL 9005(M).
 
* Dark colours. It is recommended that any door panel, which is exposed to direct sun, i.e., East, South or West elevations, should be finished in a lighter colour.
The insulation properties of the panel are so good that, if darker colours are used, the surface temperature of the panel can become unbearably hot, and the outer skin
may occasionally bubble or ripple due to tiny air pockets within the panel. Taller panels may temporarily bow slightly until the temperature falls. This phenomenon is
purely aesthetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the door. For further advice on colour selection please consult the manufacturer.
