New Bi-Fold Windows

The expanded window sill offerings include the standard performance sill, intermediate sill, U-channel sill and the ADA sill. The Bi-Fold Windows also offer an innovative concealed shoot bolt that features simplified operation and a clean overall aesthetic, allowing homeowners to enjoy uncluttered views free from unsightly hardware. Strong, 2-1/4” thick aluminum-clad wood panels provide superior structural integrity and energy efficiency.

The intermediate sill features a 1-¼” sill height, creating a near-seamless transition to the floor. Traditional and contemporary door panels are also available, including a 3-1/4” contemporary panel profile, enabling constant sightlines that maximize the viewing area. Minimalist hardware choices provide enhanced aesthetics not matched by the competition.
