New slide/fold system claims a first for standard profiles
17th November 2015

Invisifold Ltd and VBH have teamed up to develop and launch a new system for slide & fold doors and windows believed to be the only one that allows standard profiles to be used for such an application.

The system, known as greenteQ Invisifold, will be available for most profile systems over the coming months. It includes applications for doors, tilt & turn windows and even outward opening casement windows. VBH advise that as far as they are aware, this is the only solution that allows standard profiles to be used for slide & fold door and window applications.

The systems have been tested through many installations in the UK and are also currently undergoing testing for PAS24. Invisifold will, consequently, comply with Document Q once certification has been issued on a given profile.

Peter Rowlands, MD of VBH said: “We have seen the interest in slide and fold systems growing in the market place and noted the general excitement around these products from a consumer view point. The market for bi-fold doors has grown rapidly and exposed the consumer desire to open the home completely to external areas such as patios and gardens. greenteQ Invisifold solutions provide an extension of this market, allowing more flexibility in that the sashes can be neatly stacked or part opened and closed to allow more variation in the opening space.

“The greenteQ Invisifold design is a major step forward as it allows standard profiles to be used for both doors and windows. The fact that the system has the potential to be Document Q compliant is also hugely beneficial as this style of opening is perfect for new build installations.

“The partnership between the two companies came about as VBH were looking to develop a solution for fold and slide. Neil Ingram and Steve Smith had formed Invisifold Ltd and were already well advanced with their own development work. The partnership combines the creative and design expertise of Invisifold with VBH’s international logistics competence and technical support.”
