BiFold System - the eye-catcher in the façade

When opened, the gate can simultaneously serve as a canopy for outdoor seating areas, integrate seamlessly into a glass façade, or create a striking statement as an impressive garage door. Its exceptionally robust construction also enables wide-span and heavy-duty systems with maximum stability and reliability.

 

The sophisticated engineering ensures smooth and quiet operation, extending the system’s lifespan while minimizing maintenance requirements. From self-locking mechanisms to powerful lifting technology, every detail is designed with safety in mind. Simple installation, flexible customization, and the option of manual emergency operation make the system as practical as it is innovative.

What does RC4 mean?

 

RC4 is a defined resistance class for burglar-resistant building elements such as doors, windows, and façade systems. Based on European testing standards, the classification defines how long a construction can withstand a targeted break-in attempt using professional tools and significant force.

 

Why is RC4 more important than ever?

 

Modern break-in attempts are becoming increasingly sophisticated and technically advanced. High-end residential properties, commercial buildings, and exposed architectural projects therefore require security solutions that go far beyond conventional standards.

Today’s security systems must offer more than pure protection. Architects and developers expect solutions that integrate seamlessly into premium architecture while simultaneously meeting the highest security requirements.

 

This is exactly what defines our RC4 BiFold system:
It combines high-performance engineering with clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and premium materials.

The result is a solution that does not appear as a traditional security system, but rather as an integral part of modern architecture.

Protection against water ingress

 

The specially developed BiFold system provides reliable protection against penetrating water. Through an intelligent sealing mechanism combined with sophisticated guide technology, the system creates a highly durable barrier against flooding and surface water.

By intelligently utilizing the system’s own weight, optimal sealing performance at ground level is achieved.

The construction prevents uncontrolled water penetration at critical points and helps protect interiors, technical equipment, and valuable infrastructure over the long term.

 

Innovative sealing mechanism

 

At the core of the flood protection system is a specially engineered sealing mechanism that generates even and controlled pressure when the gate closes. This ensures reliable sealing across the entire gate surface.

Unlike conventional flood protection systems, the BiFold gate integrates seamlessly into modern architectural concepts. The solution combines high-performance engineering with minimalist design language and premium materials.

 

Designed for demanding applications

 

The BiFold gate is ideally suited for:

• High-end residential buildings
• Showrooms
• Prestigious architectural projects
• Industrial buildings
• Security-critical infrastructure

Especially in flood-prone regions, the construction provides long-term protection and reduces the risk of costly water damage.

Reduced heat loss through specially developed profiles

 

The thermal separation system significantly reduces heat transfer within the construction through specially insulated steel profiles. This results in optimized U-values that not only improve the building’s energy efficiency, but also contribute to enhanced indoor comfort. By minimizing thermal transfer, interior temperatures remain significantly more stable - retaining warmth during winter while reducing heat penetration in summer.

At the same time, the construction delivers maximum stability and security without compromising thermal insulation performance.

No additional fall protection required

 

The integrated fall protection system of the BiFold gate is based on a self-locking spindle mechanism that ensures maximum safety at all times. Thanks to its self-locking function, the system remains securely in position and prevents uncontrolled lowering or movement of the gate - even under load or in the event of a power failure.

As a result, no additional space is required for separate fall protection systems.

 

The mechanism provides maximum stability, controlled movement, and long-term operational reliability without compromising the open architectural appearance of the system. This allows the BiFold gate to combine technical precision with modern aesthetics, creating a safe and sophisticated solution for demanding architectural and façade concepts.

Less effort. More efficiency.

 

The delivery of five precisely pre-assembled modules significantly reduces installation effort and ensures efficient, predictable assembly processes on site.

The preconfigured elements minimize installation time, simplify integration into the construction process, and reduce potential sources of error during assembly. As a result, the BiFold system can be installed in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner - even for large-scale and technically demanding constructions.

 

Secure operation independent of power supply

 

The integrated manual emergency opening system ensures reliable operation even in the event of a power outage or technical malfunction. This allows the BiFold gate to remain safely and controllably operable at all times, completely independent of the regular power supply.

The emergency opening function is fully integrated into the system and enables fast, intuitive handling in exceptional situations.

Across all of our systems, we place great emphasis on ensuring quick, simple, and reliable manual operation whenever needed.
