We received a request for commercial folding doors for a high school from our Kansas dealer, WestPro Construction. Our engineers worked with the dealer and the architect to find a custom solution for this unique space.
Through collaboration on this project, ActivWall designed a six-panel, floor-mounted, bi-folding unit, next to 3 fixed panels, with an operable door. The units measure 182″ and 152″ wide by 118″ high.
The concrete slab floor was not thick enough to support an ActivWall structural sill, so a low-profile sill was used for the floor track.
The dark bronze finish matches the rest of the modern aesthetic of the space. These horizontal folding doors allow students to have a unique space to hang out. Also, the writing center is able to have a quiet area to tutor students while not feeling closed off from the rest of the high school.

A beautiful example of modern and sustainable architecture, the main branch of the Durham County Public Library opened in 2020, and ActivWall is honored to have two Horizontal Folding Door units in this award-winning facility.
With the addition of an ActivWall Horizontal Folding Door, developers transformed a historic Danville, VA building into an upscale boutique hotel with a beautiful rooftop veranda.
