Each Thermafold 2000 is bespoke and manufactured to order allowing significant flexibility when developing product specifications. The top hung arrangement allows the Thermafold to be provided on openings up to 24m in width and can be supported by a wide array of operating controls and safety devices.
The energy saving option of an integrated wicket door can be incorporated allowing access to authorised personnel without the need to open the full door.
