System Types

Operable Partition Systems

Folding walls and other operable wall systems provide distinct benefits to users. First and foremost is flexibility – being able to convert a space at a moments notice with one hand is invaluable to those who need it to serve multiple purposes. Folding systems are a popular method for dividing rooms, giving greater privacy or separating functions.

Simple operation means the ease of use is greater than most moveable partitions. Folding panel partitions can sometimes be cumbersome or unintuitive, but Raydoor’s folding walls are not just beautiful room dividers- their straightforward functionality is at least as impressive as their look.

Operable partitions like our folding wall system have another benefit- a large clear opening when retracted. Once folded, these operable walls take almost no space away from the resulting opening, which allows the two separated spaces to feel more like one when opened. It also allows more movement between the sides when placed in busy areas. When folded, these panels stack within the span, meaning you do not need to find room adjacent to the opening or to build a pocket to store them.
With folding walls there is the option of an egress door that swings for everyday/all day usage when the rest of the system remains closed. This really gives the best of both worlds- a folding panel partition and a swinging “traditional door” that allows movement between spaces even when most of the operable partition remains closed. That means functions can continue on either side uninterrupted if someone needs to move from one side to the other- truly versatile.

EASY TO USE FOLDING WALL SYSTEM

As mentioned, a folding glass wall system can be extremely heavy. Raydoor’s unique folding door panels are lightweight and strong. That not only makes for an easier installation but also simple, almost effortless operation. For folding wall panels, there really is no substitute for lightweight and the proof will be obvious the first time you fold a Raydoor folding system.

Folding wall and operable partition benefits and features:

Raydoor folding wall systems are turn-key with everything you need to operate, and we encourage customization. Every Raydoor panel is made to the customer’s preferences whether there be a need for a particular color, veneer species, or even wider stiles and rails. A popular choice is the addition of a pattern using muntins on the face of the panel that can add personality and make something more visually interesting. Equally, folding panels can be specified to blend with their environment to make a cohesive look.

The RAYDOOR® Twinframe® patented design

Folding panel partitions are subject to unique stresses based on their movement as compared to sliding wall systems. Folding glass partitions are particularly difficult in this regard due to their weight. Raydoor’s patented Twinframe utilizes acrylic glazing in a structural “sandwich” that produces a significantly lighter panel. Lower weight in a folding partition means less effort to operate and less stress on the hardware components and that translates to a system that will last and last.

Laminate

Enhancing our frame offering is a range of beautiful and durable high quality laminates. These are available for our rush order program for select systems and options. Cost-effective without sacrificing beauty.

Veneer

Our genuine wood veneers open up the palette of customization options, from a variety of species of wood, stains and paints, to custom color matches when painting or staining a frame. To amplify and protect the beauty of those choices, our frames are hand-sanded, butt-joined and finished with two coats of clear satin lacquer. Selecting veneer frames also opens the possibility of more ornate lattice patterns and thicker stiles and/or rails.
