These doors, designed for use in narrow corridors and similar conditions such as automatic telescopic doors, are generally preferred when the distance opened by automatic telescopic doors is insufficient.
There are some situations where linear automatic sliding doors, whether single, double wing or telescopic, do not fit into your installation space, and even if they do, they cannot provide sufficient passage width. The word equivalent of this situation in Gilgen product range is FFM model sliding folding automatic doors.
In other words, photocell accordion glass doors complete the sliding movement in series by adding the simultaneous folding movement, without the need for an area to be opened by sliding on it like normal photocell doors. The sliding folding profile series, which is specially produced for the system, contains a strong hinge set that guarantees the folding movement that will work smoothly for many years in a highly durable structure.
Although it contains more mechanical parts compared to linear photocell doors, many years of experience have made Gilgen FFM model photocell accordion doors as robust and long-lasting as standard doors. Despite its articulated structure, the intensive industrial engineering effort put into its design has made this product an extremely stylish and comfortable automatic door suitable for application in any environment.
If we need to give an example of the application area of the photocell accordion door, especially narrow corridors will constitute the most appropriate example. If we foresee that you need a photocell door application in a corridor 1760mm wide, the maximum passage width you will obtain with standard photocell doors will be 830mm and approximately 1106mm in a telescopic automatic door application.
However, the sliding folding system can provide a suitable solution to meet almost every need by providing a net passage width of 1500mm within the same dimensions.
