At a country club in New York, ActivWall Folding Doors serve as both a functional solution and a striking architectural feature within the dining spaces. Designed to adapt effortlessly to the club’s evolving needs, the doors strike a seamless balance between openness and privacy while elevating the interior’s overall aesthetic.
Two custom-built folding door systems were crafted specifically for the facility. One six-panel unit spans an impressive 215″ wide by 93″ high, while a five-panel unit measures 179″ wide by 93″ tall. Both systems feature clear pine frames, primed and ready for paint, allowing them to integrate beautifully with the club’s interior design. Top-hung operation with a flush sill ensures a clean, uninterrupted transition between spaces, while dark bronze hardware adds a refined finishing touch.
Each door system incorporates a thoughtfully designed horizontal mullion, with an oak wood panel along the lower third and etched glass across the upper two-thirds. This combination provides visual privacy between dining areas without sacrificing natural light, maintaining an inviting atmosphere throughout the space.
The result is a highly flexible dining environment that can be tailored to any occasion. The folding doors can be fully opened to accommodate large events, closed to create intimate private dining rooms, or partially opened for semi-private gatherings that allow easy movement and connectivity between spaces.
