Why Choose Folding Glass Doors for a Commercial Space?

Companies, offices, hotels, schools, and even hotels need dynamic spaces to accommodate a variety of needs. In the interest of sustainability, commercial spaces are increasingly using one space for a variety of purposes. As a result, commercial folding glass doors are gaining popularity. 

Folding glass doors provide unparalleled flexibility and functionality since they can be utilized to create temporary spaces geared towards specific needs. Once the space is no longer needed, they can be easily tucked away out of sight, instantly creating a larger space.

How Commercial Folding Glass Doors Work?

When the folding glass doors are extended to create a wall, space is neatly divided into smaller work areas where both sound privacy and visual privacy are increased.

The folding glass doors can then slide smoothly on their track to reveal a larger room perfect for large gatherings or conferences.

When fully open, the commercial folding glass door panels are tucked neatly away, so they don’t interfere with the flow of traffic.

Folding Glass Doors for Commercial Spaces

Commercial folding glass doors are a great way to isolate acoustics, create privacy, and improve productivity in commercial spaces. The following list of locations provides real-world examples of the practical usage of sliding glass doors.

Schools

In the above example, Cass Business School at City University London uses folding glass doors to create smaller spaces conducive to small group collaboration and meetings. When the time comes to meet in a large group setting, the folding glass doors quickly pivot and slide to the side to create the needed space. 

Schools can use folding glass doors to separate classrooms, conference rooms, offices, and more, which allows them to create the flexible environment necessary to accommodate the varied needs of their students and staff. 

Offices

From cubicles to conference rooms, folding glass doors can be used to create a wide variety of configurations in nearly any office. Office needs can change frequently and incorporating folding glass doors into the office design can accommodate changing needs. 

Churches

Moving from a large church service to a smaller bible study, Sunday school, or even an ice cream social can be easy with the inclusion of folding glass doors. Using these doors to create a multi-functional space makes switching between needs quick and easy.
