The ultimate ‘wow-factor’ for an extension, the ability to create a completely floating open corner, thanks to a moveable corner post, is proving to be one of the most popular current trends – whether you opt for bifold doors or sliding doors!

Available utilising theEDGE2.0 or Grand Slider II sliding doors or any of our aluminium SF75eco bifold doors, our open-corner technology offers a truly innovative approach to design that maximises space and fills rooms full of light.

When closed the open-corner technology provides the same weather performance and security as a standard set of sliding or bifold doors, with an advanced multi-point locking system – yet when open the doors slide or fold back away from the corner to create a completely uninterrupted view, truly breaking down the boundaries between inside and out.

The doors form a non-structural element of the opening, so whether you opt for a post set inside the aperture to support the structure or are in a position to include a cantilevered roof as part of your build, the opening is completely uninterrupted.
