The leaf design is available in a standard format or purpose-made to suit individual clients’ requirements to interface with and complement external building cladding features. The design presents a host of advantages over other types of gate/door as it is simple in operation thus avoiding high maintenance costs associated with cables, springs, bottom tracks etc. The Bi-Fold Gate particularly comes into its own when designers are faced with limited side-, head- or back-room which rule out rolling, overhead, hinged or sliding gates and the fact that the gates are sideways opening means that the leading edges are in constant view and therefore less prone to damage from vehicles
