Folding/Sliding Doors

I am looking at sourcing some folding or sliding glass doors (not sure which one to go for yet !)

Does anyone have any experience of these. They would be similar to something installed in cafes/restaurants/shops but they also do residential.

I want to use them as a Wall of folding/sliding glass which can be opened up in the summer.

The main company I have found is Solarlux - does anyone know of others ?

Spy !

    I used to fit these for a company called DORMA. very rarely did we put them in for residential homes unless the rooms were very large , i.e care homes etc or retirement homes were probably the only one's.
    Like you say, fitted in cafe's restaurants, airports, Tesco's etc etc. Very nice, very expensive.

    here's the site:
    http://www.dorma.com/uk/Company/index.html

    and here's the glass partitions link :

    not much detail here, but request a catalogue for better info.

    Depending upon your requirements, I may have a few alternatives for you, please pm me and let me know what you need.
