Bi-fold Doors are a combination of clad-wood door panels and innovative folding door hardware developed by Centor Architectural™. Bi-fold Doors open up design possibilities for spectacular views and unhindered access between the inside of the home and the beauty of the outdoors.
The door panels have all the same features and options as our In-Swing & Out-Swing doors. The difference is the Bi-folding track system. The door panels will open and accordion into a condensed stack to the exterior of the room.
Centor’s E3 bi-fold hardware is a hanging track system that requires engineered structural support. Among other specifications, this means that the wall must accommodate a 6-9/16” Jamb depth.
Bi-Fold products require 6-9/16” Jamb Depth.

Clad Wood Doors, including swing doors, sliding doors, and bi-fold doors, all use a common door panel. These panels are typically full-view glass panels. However, there are several options for configuring the panels to reflect unique styles and designs.
Panel OptionsAll of our extruded aluminum-clad windows and doors are available in a wide range of exterior powder-coated finish colors to coordinate with the design of your project. Click on the link below to see our color choices.
Exterior Color OptionsAn extruded aluminum exterior casing and trim system is available on our clad windows and doors to enhance the visual appeal of the windows and doors. Available in a variety of trim and casing profiles, these extrusions add a dimensional accent to the product and the home or building.
Exterior Trim OptionsBi-Fold Doors are available in multiple panel configurations up to 8 panels wide. Several parting configurations are available. See the Configuration Chart for more details.
Bi-Fold Doors ship as kits to be assembled and installed on location. See our Bi-Fold Door Installation Instructions.
Our clad-wood products feature clear pine interiors that are ideally suited for staining or painting. Choose to have your windows and doors delivered without any interior finish so that you can stain or paint them yourself or have them primed or painted at the factory with your choice of one of our standard interior finish colors.
The hinges, drop bolts and handles are available in three finishes: stainless steel, dark bronze, and polished brass.
Hardware OptionsBi-Fold Jambs are 6-9/16”.
Jamb OptionsInsulated Glass is the heart of the energy efficiency of windows and patio doors. Sun manufactures our insulated glass units to ensure the quality and performance of our Insulated Glass. Learn more on our Glass Options page.

Glass stops are available in standard and contemporary profiles for most products.
Glass StopsSeveral grille systems are available to add lite division to the glass area.
Grille TypesGrille systems add divided lite designs to windows and doors. They are available in a variety of patterns that can be customized to meet your design needs.
Grille PatternsThree sill options accommodate application requirements. The standard sits above the floor, similar to other exterior doors, which provides the best weather protection for units directly exposed to the elements. An ADA sill is available for applications requiring that level of accessibility. The third option calls for a floor channel, which provides the smoothest transition between the two sides but requires additional weather protection for the exterior space.

Centor’s E3 bi-fold hardware provides the flexibility of a glass wall that can easily be turned into a wide-open pathway. Applications include everything from a private residential entertainment area to an ambitious storefront, restaurant, or commercial project. The E3 hardware system functions as part of a secure, weatherproof barrier, but not fully appreciated until the bi-fold units are opened up, transforming the space into a whole new environment.
Bi-Fold windows and doors are weatherproof in the closed position. Weather seals protect every seam.
