Aliplast AB-38 bi-fold door dimensions and technical data

Use fewer, larger leaves where appropriate

The available leaf sizes can support a calmer elevation, subject to wind loading, glass weight and site conditions.

  • Use leaf sizes that keep the elevation balanced and the stack manageable.
  • Check glass weight, wind load and opening dimensions during survey.
  • Place the lead leaf around the most useful day-to-day route.

Match operation to the opening

Stainless steel rollers, threshold choices and the panel layout should be reviewed as one operating system.
  • Choose the track and threshold around exposure and floor build-up.
  • Keep rollers, guides and hinges within a coordinated maintenance plan.
  • Confirm opening direction, parking space and handle clearances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the practical questions that often shape the final specification.

Do I need a survey before ordering?
Yes. Final sizes, configuration, thresholds, glass, hardware and installation details should be confirmed through a measured survey and written quotation.
Can I choose the frame colour and hardware?
Colour and hardware choices depend on the selected system. We will confirm available finishes, samples, compatibility and any effect on lead time before order.
How does AB-38 differ from AB-60?
AB-38 has the slimmer published sightline and larger maximum leaf dimensions. AB-60 offers a different performance and threshold package. We compare both against the actual opening.
