Folding Overview
Doors, Windows, Walls & Louvres
The compact and elegant folding mechanism was designed to suit applications with limited space around the window, door, wall or louvers. They simply fold away neatly overhead. This makes the Folding range perfect for an almost endless number of settings including lounge rooms, showrooms, servery windows, shop fronts, warehouses, patios, balconies, and many more.
They can also be combined to provide a uniform appearance to your building project.
Benefits of Folding doors, windows, walls & louvres
CUSTOMISED CLADDING
We customise the design of the Folding door, window, wall, or louvres frame to correspond with different cladding options. This allows for greater flexibility and develops the possibilities for the overall building design. People love the latest timbers or composite timbers, either as boards, battens, or slats on their doors, windows, walls or louvres. There is also imitation stone cladding for a natural look. Other options include fibre cement, aluminium, metal, imitation brick and ceramic, to name just a few.
Note: Smartech does not supply or install the cladding. The builder or project manager must take responsibility for the supply and installation of the cladding on site.
COLOUR OF YOUR CHOICE
The Smartech Folding doors, windows, walls, or louvres is supplied in a quality assured polyester powder coat finish. We have an excellent range of powder coat colours available as standard. For non-standard powder coat colours, additional charges apply.
Note: Additional costs for the Premium Range
MOTORISED OR MANUAL
Although the Smartech Facade Garage Door can be supplied hand-operated, most of our garage doors are motorised and remote controlled for ease of use and convenience.
The motor is positioned at the top of the tracks to keep the garage looking clean, while brush seals completely hide the durable chain drive system.
MADE TO ORDER
Smartech Folding doors, windows, walls, or louvres are all custom made. You specify the size, colour, hinge finish, cladding material and the mode of operation and we will create the perfect Folding doors, windows, walls or louvres frame to suit your project.
SMOOTH OPERATION
Durability and effortless operation of our Folding doors, windows, walls, or louvres are assured with Smartech’s proprietary Balanced Weight System™. It is a perfectly counterweight balanced design, providing long-lasting and effortless operation of the doors, windows walls, or louvres.

STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS
All fittings including link arms, drive ramps and hinges are stainless steel. Furthermore, the hinges can be powder coated. This gives an aesthetically pleasing finish to all parts.
CONCEALED DESIGN
Weight covers for our Folding windows, doors, walls or louvres are designed to enclose the counterweights out of harm’s way and provide a tidy aesthetic finish. Covers will wrap around, extending from the track and returning to the wall.
COMPREHENSIVE SEALING SYSTEM
Underneath the door or window is a PVC bulb seal that sweeps and compresses against the floor or sill threshold where fitted. An additional neoprene sweep seal can be fitted forward of the bulb seal to further complement and enhance the sealing.
We use the exclusive Smartech lintel aluminium extrusion with rubber seal to close the gap at the door or window head. It is designed to integrate with the overhead bulkhead plaster lining internally.

Folding Windows
When combined with a glazed balustrade, our Folding windows can be used as a balcony window, transforming a room into a balcony.
The Smartech Off-Set Folding window is a variation of the Folding window. Its bottom panel swings outwards to open, ensuring we have you covered where this feature is necessary or just desired.
We especially designed our new Zero Line Folding Window for servery windows that are on the property boundary line. They swing in and upward to open overhead to ensure full counter access.
Folding Walls
Folding walls are ideal for kiosks and bars, counters, shop fronts and showrooms.
