Key features

Rolling hinge system

Specially designed rolling hinges slide smoothly on the bottom rail, ensuring quiet and effortless operation across the full panel stack.

High-performance hardware

Precision-engineered bottom-rolling track and hinge assemblies are built for longevity, maintaining smooth operation under daily use and heavy panel loads.

Full-width aperture

Panels fold and stack flush to one side, eliminating the visual and physical barrier between interior and exterior spaces entirely.

Thermal performance

Thermally broken aluminium profiles and high-performance glazing options deliver excellent insulation without compromising the minimal sightline aesthetic.

Design intent

Designed for Expansive Openings

IKON bifold doors transform enclosed spaces into expansive indoor–outdoor environments. Large glazed panels fold neatly to the side, creating wide openings while maintaining refined aluminium proportions and extensive glazed areas, smooth operation and flexible configurations for contemporary residential and commercial architecture.

Threshold options

Multiple threshold options allow the system to be adapted to different accessibility, aesthetic and weather-performance requirements.

Rebated weather threshold detail for bifold door in exposed locations

Rebated Weather Threshold

A rebated threshold profile designed for enhanced weather resistance and sealing in exposed locations where protection from wind and rain is a priority.

Low-profile bifold door threshold with minimal floor transition

Low Threshold

A reduced threshold profile that balances architectural appearance, access and weather performance.

Easy-access ramped bifold door threshold for residential and hospitality use

Easy-Access Threshold

A ramped threshold with a rise of approximately 24 mm, providing more convenient access for residential, hospitality and high-traffic applications.

Opening configurations

The system supports a wide range of configurations, from single access doors to large openings with up to 14 folding panels. Panels may fold inward or outward, collect to one or both sides, or form open-corner arrangements without a permanent corner post.

Architectural flexibility

Open Corners

Corner configurations can open without a permanent corner post, creating an uninterrupted connection between adjoining outdoor areas.

Integrated Access Door

One panel can operate independently as a standard access door without opening the complete bifold arrangement.

Flexible Panel Configurations

Configurations of up to 14 panels allow extensive glazed openings across large residential and commercial spaces, with panels folding to one or both sides.

Bottom-Running Operation

Rolling hinges travel along the bottom rail to support smooth, controlled and quiet operation across the full panel range.

Published performance values are based on manufacturer testing and technical data. Final performance and compliance depend on system configuration, glazing selection, dimensions, fabrication, installation conditions and project-specific engineering. System selection and detailing must be assessed against the NCC, relevant Australian Standards and the specific requirements of each project.

IKON bifold door systems are designed to support large folding panels with smooth operation and flexible configurations. Our technical team can advise on the appropriate configuration, glazing specification and compliance pathway for your project.
