ENCRAFT Invisi Fold Doors
The ENFOLD System by ENCRAFT is designed to transform standard welded windows and doors into versatile sliding, folding, and swing systems. It offers an innovative alternative to conventional concertina, fold-and-slide, and bi-fold window and door systems, using independently moving panels to create flexible opening configurations.
The system can be manufactured with concealed/invisible hinges, providing a clean and minimal appearance with only one or two visible handles, depending on the selected configuration. Alternatively, ENFOLD can be equipped with face-mounted, fully adjustable 3D hinges for greater installation flexibility and adjustment.
A key advantage of the ENFOLD system is its bottom-loaded sliding panels. Unlike conventional fold-and-slide systems, the panels are designed not to drop during operation, helping ensure smoother movement and reducing installation-related issues.

Frequently asked questions
uPVC insulates far better and costs less for ordinary residential openings. Thermally broken aluminium is stronger, so it carries larger panels with slimmer frames. We usually specify uPVC for bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, and aluminium for very large sliders, stairwell glazing and anything above about 2.4 metres tall.
Not if the profile is UV stabilised and lead-free, which ours are. Yellowing happens with cheap unstabilised profile or recycled material. We supply a written warranty against discolouration.
An acoustic laminated inner pane inside a double-glazed unit, with the two panes at different thicknesses and a wide cavity. Just as important, choose a casement or tilt-and-turn window rather than a slider, because the sash needs to compress onto its gaskets to seal.
Yes. We bend profile on a heated forming table from a site template, so semi-circular, segmental and elliptical heads are all possible, fixed or with an operable lower sash.

Achieving high levels of air and water tightness, dust protection, insect resistance, and sound reduction generally requires effective sealing around the complete perimeter of the door sash. However, conventional high thresholds can sometimes affect accessibility and everyday convenience. Modern fenestration therefore needs to balance performance, ergonomics, and practical living requirements.
