Description

The AMBIAL folding door is durable and easy to use, offering panoramic views, flooding rooms with natural light and blurring the boundaries between inside and out. It can be fully opened inwards or outwards and can incorporate up to ten leaf configuration with a maximum height of 3 m for a 12 m wide opening.


All finishes have been designed with attention to detail to offer a harmonious appearance when open or closed. The frames are flush fitting with slim, well-balanced profiles. Upper and lower rollers and fixings are covered to provide a uniform look, even when the system is open.


Features and benefits:

  • Folding door and corner folding door variations.
  • Drainage is concealed to ensure a smooth, flush design.
  • Large sizes offer a panoramic view.
  • Durable and easy to use.
  • Can incorporate up to 10-leaves with a maximum height of 3m - providing an opening of 12m wide.
  • Guaranteed thermal and acoustic performance as well as high level weather and water resistance.
  • Completely flush appearance when closed for clean lines
  • Exclusive ultra-flat handle and key.
  • Easy to operate thanks to the upper and lower rollers, foldable pull handle and optional exterior handle on the service leaf.
  • Flush-fitting threshold available with the double brush option.
  • 1 or 2-leaf door can be created to maintain visual harmony.


Sustainability Information

  • AMBIAL is made with Hydro CIRCAL 75R aluminium - the prime-quality alloy that's made with at least 75% recycled, end-of-life material
  • By choosing TECHNAL products that are made with Hydro CIRCAL 75R - you prevent 85% of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere (when compared with the CO2 emissions from the global average for primary aluminium production)
  • AMBIAL is supported with a dynamic EPD which enables you to demonstrate the environmental impact of each and every project you work with us on
