Fenghui is an experienced aluminium bi-fold doors manufacturer supplying made-to-measure door systems for builders, developers, window and door distributors, architectural contractors and commercial project buyers.
Fenghui was established in 2000 and operates a 200,000 m² manufacturing base with annual aluminium window and door output of approximately 100,000 m². Our integrated production capabilities help maintain consistent dimensions, finishes and operating quality across repeated project units.
Our project supply capabilities include:
- ► Made-to-measure door sizes based on approved drawings
- ► Multiple panel and stacking configurations
- ► Inward- or outward-folding arrangements
- ► Optional everyday access or traffic-door configurations
- ► Project-selected glass, colour, hardware and threshold details
- ► Residential and commercial order support
- ► Quantity-based production planning
- ► Technical review before manufacturing
- ► Multi-stage inspection and pre-shipment checking
Whether you are sourcing aluminium bi-fold glass doors for a luxury residential development or aluminium bi-fold patio doors for a hotel, restaurant or villa project, Fenghui can coordinate the complete aluminium door specification around your schedule.
Select the Right Panel and Opening Configuration
The panel layout affects the clear opening, stacking space, daily access and overall appearance of the completed door. Buyers should confirm the layout before approving production drawings.
| Configuration Decision |
Common Project Options |
What the Buyer Should Confirm |
| Panel quantity |
Three, four, five, six or project-specific multi-panel layouts |
Overall opening width, individual panel weight and required clear opening |
| Stacking direction |
All panels left, all panels right or panels divided between both sides |
Available stacking space, columns, furniture and circulation routes |
| Opening direction |
Inward folding or outward folding |
Interior floor space, patio layout, weather exposure and external walkways |
| Everyday access |
Integrated traffic door or complete folding operation |
Frequency of access and whether the whole system must be opened each time |
| Threshold direction |
Weather-resistant or project-specific low-threshold solution |
Drainage, finished floor level, accessibility and exposure to wind-driven rain |
| Panel distribution |
Symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement |
Architectural elevation and preferred location of the primary access leaf |
Typical panel arrangements are subject to the final door dimensions, glass weight, hardware capacity and nominated performance requirements. Fenghui reviews these factors together rather than selecting the panel count from opening width alone.
For projects where a large glazed opening is required but panel stacking space is limited, buyers can also compare our thermal break sliding doors and non-thermal break sliding doors.
Specify Each Door Around the Building Conditions
Aluminium bi-fold patio doors should not be specified only by width, height and colour. External exposure, wind pressure, glazing weight, drainage and frequency of use can all affect the appropriate configuration.
| Project Requirement |
Recommended Specification Direction |
Information Required for Review |
| Exposed exterior opening |
Weather-resistant sill, suitable sealing and project-rated configuration |
Project location, elevation, exposure and nominated design wind pressure |
| Improved thermal comfort |
Appropriate frame and insulated glass combination |
Required U-value, SHGC, climate zone or energy consultant specification |
| Acoustic control |
Laminated or acoustic insulated glass configuration |
Required Rw, STC or external noise conditions |
| Safety-sensitive glazing |
Tempered or laminated safety glass selected by application |
Glass dimensions, door location and applicable glazing standard |
| Coastal environment |
Suitable coating specification and corrosion-resistant hardware direction |
Distance from the coast and environmental exposure category |
| High-traffic commercial use |
Durable operating hardware and convenient traffic-door layout |
Expected usage, access route and opening frequency |
| Privacy or solar control |
Obscure, tinted, Low-E or project-selected glass |
Privacy level, orientation and solar-control requirement |
| Coordinated façade package |
Matching colours, glass appearance and hardware selection |
Door and window schedule, finish reference and elevation drawings |
Australian Project Compliance Support
For external aluminium bi-fold doors used in Australian buildings, AS 2047 covers windows and external glazed doors, including bi-fold door configurations, while AS 1288 establishes requirements for selecting and installing glass in buildings. AS 2047 testing addresses structural performance, operating force, air infiltration, water penetration and ultimate strength.
For Australian project enquiries, Fenghui can review:
- ► Nominated design wind pressure or housing window rating
- ► Required water penetration resistance
- ► Air infiltration requirements
- ► Door size and panel configuration
- ► Safety glass type and thickness
- ► Energy-performance requirements
- ► Threshold and drainage detail
- ► Finish and corrosion-exposure requirements
- ► Required labels, reports or project documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Fenghui manufacture custom-sized aluminium bi-fold doors?
Yes. Door dimensions are developed around the approved project opening rather than limited to a small selection of retail sizes. Final panel sizes and quantities are subject to glass weight, hardware capacity and required structural performance.
Can the doors be used as exterior patio doors?
Yes. Aluminium bi-fold exterior doors can be configured for patios, alfresco openings and other indoor-outdoor connections. External applications require the correct threshold, drainage, sealing, glass and performance specification for the exposure conditions.
Can different configurations be supplied within one project?
Yes. A project may include different widths, panel quantities, stacking directions, glass types and colours. Each unit should be identified clearly in the door schedule and approved drawings.
What should buyers compare among aluminium bi-fold doors manufacturers?
Buyers should compare more than profile appearance and price. Important factors include performance evidence for the proposed configuration, profile and glass production control, hardware durability, drawing support, specification accuracy, batch consistency, packaging, lead time, warranty scope and after-sales response.
What are the MOQ and production lead time?
MOQ and lead time depend on door dimensions, quantities, glass make-up, finish, hardware and whether the order is combined with other aluminium windows and doors. Providing a complete schedule allows Fenghui to calculate a more reliable production and delivery plan.
