Folding Door
WOOD

Originality, sturdiness and durability

This door, called the Diamond, deserves its name: this innovative door is the most air and watertight in North America. It combines the Martin team’s knowhow with the originality, solidity and durability that you expect. Its unmatched air and water tightness is achieved by a multi-point lock anchored in 5 places as well as double weatherstripping.

This folding door is offered up to 16 feet wide with 7 panels. As with our other doors, it is equipped with 2 1/4 inches thick wood panels and a sill with a double drainage system. Opening the panels is effortless since they rest on the sill.

Obviously, this door’s security is a credit to the Martin collection. Optionally, we can offer an innovative retractable screen. Hardware is available in 3 colours: dark brown (standard), silver (option) or white (option).

What is Ponderosa Pine?

Ponderosa pine also known as “Western Yellow Pine”, is the largest of the western pine species which grows in the southern interior of British Columbia. Having a straight trunk and usually growing up to 25 to 30 metres tall with a diameter of 2 metres, it is a large-crowned tree.

The wood is generally straight-grained and uniform in texture. Common uses of ponderosa pine include; furniture; window and door sashes, mouldings, and frames; panelling and shelving.

Tilt and turn active door

Confortable and secure ventilation

The tilt and turn mechanism allows for the active door to act as both a casement towards the interior of the house, and a ventilation source. This ventilation source is created by tilting the door’s upper panel towards the inside thus creating a small opening.

Since your bi-fold door can remain locked, this small opening lets you enjoy air circulation without sacrificing the security of your home.

Stain

Finish equal to high end furniture

Enhances and protects the wood’s beauty

Wood is a natural, warm and versatile material. Careful protection by a quality stain enhances its resistance and durability.

Unequaled protection against bad weather and UV rays

Our stain acts like a shield. The stain’s natural oils and resins seep into the wood’s cellular structure to form a durable protective barrier.

Water-based stain: one more step for protecting the environment

With the introduction of water-based stain products, Martin is a forerunner that constantly continues its efforts to support sustainable development.

30 EXCEPTIONAL COLOURS

A touch of unequaled refinement

Our colour chart offers 30 lovely colours that enhance the wood’s natural richness. Factory applied, our stain is protected by two coats of varnish giving it a satin sheen.

Energetic and structural performance

Energy Star® and NAFS standards

When evaluating energy performance ratings for your doors and windows, in addition to adhering to Energy Star’s standards, it is important to refer to the harmonized standard set by the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS). The NAFS specification is more commonly known under the name of “structural performance tests.”

As well as evaluating air and water tightness, the NAFS standard evaluates a door or window’s resistance to natural elements such as strong winds.

In Canada, the standard’s minimum requirements are determined according to your region and its weather conditions.

Prior to purchase, it is important to confirm the minimum required Performance Grade (PG) for your region and the surroundings of your home (location, product height, type of land, etc.).

Easily get your minimum PG with the Fenestration Canada’s performance calculator.
