Do glazed, bi-folding fire doors exist ?

Hi All,
Making some improvements to our new home and would like to install a run of glazed bifolding doors between hall and kitchen, thing is, the house is over 3 floors therefore all the doors are fire doors.
FYI the doors that are throughout the house now are Louis style

Can this be done ?
Any advice appreciated, thanks.

    i think to get a completion/warrant approval the doors must be fire rated and self closing (please correct me if i'm wrong) so it would be difficult to find a bi-fold arrangement that is able to sc and meet the regs

    Yup ours had to be self closing too so bi-folding ones are almost certainly out.

    i believe the need for fire doors to be self closing has been removed, i may be wrong though.
