Description
The Samson Apollo industrial folding door system uses, as standard, 52mm double skinned steel insulated door panels, which can be arranged in a wide variety of configurations to suit the site requirements and any restrictions. This steel panel specification offers a maximum size of 30 metres wide and 6 metres high in a 12+12 bi folding panel arrangement.
We can produce larger sizes and the panel depths then increase to 62mm or even 82 mm, depending on the final specification.
Apollo folding doors are always fitted to the inside face of any aperture and have no aluminium sub frame like the Adone system.
Tracking Arrangements
The Apollo uses a top and bottom tracking system and the top track is supporting the door panels so needs to be fixed to a suitable structurally capable lintel or beam. The bottom tracking systems are variable with in ground sunken tracks and surface mounted options.
The top tracking can be face fitted or ceiling mounted with a fascia to cloak the tracking and form a weather protection.
The door panel can be specified to open inwards or outwards and the Apollo system is mainly used for external doors on any building.
Pedestrian Door Option
A great benefit of a folding door system is the ability to potentially operate just one leaf and use it as a pedestrian access door whilst the rest of the door remains closed and secure. This is not only very convenient, but also saves energy by preserving the internal climate and keeps prying eyes from seeing inside the building too.
You can have smaller pedestrian doors built into the main door panels and these can then be positioned almost anywhere along the door width to suit requirements on site.
The versatility of using a pedestrian door along with the variable opening options for the multiple door leaves in a door is so useful to many customers and their building access.
Panic hardware can be specified for the pedestrian door, for the obvious purpose of creating a perfect fire exit option for the building as part of your fire exit strategy.
Manual or Electric
Larger folding doors will benefit from being electric motor operated but the doors do move smoothly as manual doors so many doors do remain as manual operation and often because a folding door is used for an opening which isn’t required to be fully opened very often.
For electric operated folding doors there are several motor drive options, not only for single and three phase power and their relevant power and ratings, but also for the actual motor arrangements internally, arranged to suit any internal obstacles.
Access controls can be chosen to suit the customers requirements from a simple wall mounted push button system with a hold to run logic through to more complex systems which are semi or fully automated with safety control systems included.
Windows and Infills
Any of the door leaves can have various high quality double glazed window inserts to provide light and vision. These can be almost anywhere and in one or all the panels to suit.
Vented grilles are also often required along with fixed infill sections when the whole opening isn’t required as a door but it suits to match everything with the insulated panels.
We also offer fully glazed folding doors with minimal framing for maximum light and vision.
Colours and Finishes
The Apollo is available in several high quality powdercoat finishes as standard and can be also specified in special colours on request at minimal additional cost.
The standard finish is a smooth external surface for the Apollo. Stucco is available as an option.
Application
Any medium to large external openings for commercial or industrial buildings. Perfect for low usage openings with high levels of pedestrian traffic.
Perfect for when headroom is limited and also very wide openings.
Insulated door panels and easy manual operation make this perfect for all users within any building.
Application
The Apollo is ideal for larger width openings and when there is regualr traffic in and out. The robust top tracking and bottom guide system gives great stability and the greatest feature for al these folding double skinned steel doors is the pedestrian access door to allow easier and efficient access in and out on foot.

Installation
We can supply only or offer a full survey and installation service for any of our folding doors.
Installation for the Apollo is relatively easy compared to many other industrial door types and we offer installation instructions.
Full drawings will be supplied for your review and approval before manufacturing begins.
Measure
Measuring for an Apollo folding door is relatively simple as the doors can only fit behind an aperture with the top track face or ceiling mounted. The dimensions for the aperture along with side room and headroom are the main concern along with a level floor.
We can offer a surveying service and any costs for this would be reimbursed on placing the order for the door.
