DescriptionThe FE "Teckentrup 50" folding door (4-leaf, 2:2 coupled) 90° opening angle; alternatively also 2-leaf arrangement, 2:0; 0:2 coupled) can be equipped with electric sliding arm drive. This innovative, space-saving door technology meets maximum demands in terms of speed, convenience and cost-efficiency. Particularly in areas subject to high levels of traffic, such as vehicle workshops, storage facilities, car wash systems or paint shops, an automatically opening door saves plenty of time and energy.
Folding doors offer some great advantages over many other industrial or commercial door types. They are useful for any size of opening and particularly useful on very wide openings when you consider the mechanism used has no limitations or requires extra support on the larger sizes. The distribution of door panel weight from the larger sizes is all evenly spread out.
The electric folding door systems can either be operated using dead man or pulse control. Doors can open towards the inside or outside. As part of pulse control the unit is secured by a self-monitoring accident protection device at the main closing edge, as well as photocells. Anti-clamping profiles on all the vertical closing edges also protect from injuries.
The Teckentrup 50 FE steel folding door offers great levels of security and total reliability. The 50mm thick double skinned steel door panels are totally stable and operate with minimal friction and stress on any single part during operation.
Folding doors open to the sides and require minimum headroom for the mechanism. They are available to open to 90 degrees or 180 degrees depending on site requirements.
The double walled panels offer excellent thermal insulation (U = 1.8W/M2K) and they have a storm proof rating up to wind class 4. The energy saving properties are obvious along with the simple fact and most obvious unique feature of a folding door - You can partially open the door to gain access without opening the full door….
Windows and other inserts such as vented grilles can be placed within one or more panels to make the most of the door and its performance and use in the opening and application.
The doors are always made to measure as standard for a perfect fit.
The Teckentrup folding doors are available with a number of design and furnishings to match architectural aesthetics and will compliment the facade of any building where design matters.
Natural light and vision are often very desirable and these folding doors can have a whole range of window options. 6,18 and 21mm glazing options with various shapes and sizes.
The Teckentrup FE 50 is a very customisable door by any standard.
The look of the commercial or industrial door contributes significantly to the appearance of any building and also can help express the corporate design. The Teckentrup colour spectrum allows for countless door designs. Teckentrup folding doors are galvanised steel featuring coil coating similar to RAL 9016 (traffic white) or galvanised blank as standard. Optionally also featuring coil coating in RAL of your choice (mineral wool version only).
Pedestrian Access made Easy
The biggest selling point for so many folding or sliding steel doors is the ability to include a pedestrian pass door in one or more main panels.
Either a divided single door leaf or an actual separated access door can be specified. Usually larger than any standard width door and with low or no threshold for easy movement of products in and out on wheels. 4 sided seals provide silent closing and maximum weather sealing and heat loss prevention.
Reasons for Using a Steel Folding Door:
- Smooth and simple operation for anyone even in emergency manual override mode
- Low maintenance and almost silent operation in either direction
- Minimal internal headroom required
- No internal tracking required
- Ideal for wide and taller openings
- Double skinned panels offer great security and stability in all weathers
- Easy pedestrian access for heavy traffic buildings whilst preserving internal climate
- High performance and energy saving
