When choosing a top-hung folding glass door,it is not only to look at the patterns and comfortable patterns on the surface,but also to pay attention to the composite film on the surface layer of the folding door, because most of this composite film is colored by artificial oxide film, so It can directly protect the surface layer of the glass, and it also has certain wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and it can also protect the original gloss of the glass.
For some good glass folding doors,the production and processing must be fine, and the tangent must be smooth, the angle must be consistent, and special attention should be paid to whether the dazzling part is rigorous, and whether there are small gaps, if any, it will affect The direct sealing of the glass door will fall off once it is improperly operated.The folding door needs to slide frequently, so the quality requirements for the pulley are relatively high.Because the height of the folding door is relatively high, the door leaf is relatively wide, and the door panel itself has a relatively large self-weight,if the bearing capacity of the pulley is not enough, it will affect the quality of the folding door.When purchasing, ask the salesperson to introduce more hardware accessories such as pulleys and hinges, or do some related tests to understand the quality of the product.
You can look at the flexibility of the folding door.and measure its quality by the sliding texture of the door. When sliding the folding door, the high-quality folding door will not be too light or too heavy when sliding, and it will not vibrate or get stuck when folded, but it will be smooth and textured.
