FAQs
What are stacking doors, and are they the same as sliding folding doors?
Yes – stacking doors and sliding folding doors are the same product. The doors operate on a concertina folding system, stacking neatly to one side or splitting to both sides when opened, and folding back into place when closed. Both terms are widely used in South Africa.
How many panels can I choose for my stacking doors?
Our stacking door systems are available in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10-panel configurations. Common combinations include 3+1, 5+1, 3+3, 7+1, 5+5, and 9+1, allowing you to configure the doors to open from the centre or off-centre depending on your space and preference.
Can I add ventilation to my stacking doors?
Yes, we offer custom-built ventilation options. Window vents can be added within the door panels, allowing airflow whilst your sliding folding doors remain securely locked – ideal for maintaining fresh air circulation without compromising security.
What size panels are available for stacking doors?
Each individual panel can be up to 900 mm wide and 3,000 mm high. The total opening size will depend on how many panels you choose and their combined width.
Are stacking doors weatherproof?
Absolutely. Our stacking doors are fully weatherproof, designed to withstand rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations whilst maintaining excellent energy efficiency and keeping your space comfortable year-round.
How secure are stacking door systems?
Security is a priority in our design. The leading panel features a latch lock with a hook lock, and every second panel throughout the system includes an additional locking point. Combined with durable aluminium construction and expert manufacturing, stacking doors are one of the most secure doors in our range.
Can I choose where my stacking doors open from?
Yes. Stacking doors can be configured to open from the right, left, centre or off-centre, depending on your space layout and how you want to use the opening. Our team will advise on the best configuration during your measurement visit.
What warranty is provided with aluminium stacking doors?
We offer a 5-year warranty on aluminium profiles against defective powder coating, 5 years on glass against delamination, 12 months on hardware, and 12 months on workmanship. All defects are subject to verification and proper care and maintenance.
How much of the doorway can be opened with stacking doors?
When fully opened, the stacking door folds away to reveal up to 90% of the doorway, creating a near-seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
What glass options are available for my stacking doors?
You can choose from clear, tinted, frosted/translucent, Low-E (low-emissivity), or double-glazed glass. Low-E glass is particularly worthwhile for large stacking door panels – its heat-reflective coating helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. Double glazing provides an even higher level of insulation for those prioritising energy efficiency and comfort.
What colours are available for stacking doors?
Standard colours include White, Bronze, Charcoal, Black, and Silver. A full range of non-standard and custom colours including wood-look finishes are also available to suit your home’s style and architectural design.
