Aluminium folding doors Benoni: open the whole wall
Benoni is the City of Lakes, and homes facing the water are the classic place for a folding door: open the whole wall in summer and close it to glass in winter, without losing the view.
A folding door is a row of glass panels hinged together that run on a track and concertina to one side, or split in the middle and fold to both sides. Open, it leaves almost the full width clear; closed, it is a wall of glass. It suits living rooms, kitchens and entertainment areas that open to a patio, a pool, a braai area or a view.
Aluminium folding doors Benoni: Vista Duo or Vistafold?
- Vista Duo fold doors: 2 panels from 1 200 to 1 800 mm wide, or 4 panels from 2 100 to 3 600 mm, folding to one side or bi-parting to both sides, 2 100 or 2 400 mm high. From R16 041 excluding VAT. Ideal for townhouse patios, kitchens and smaller openings; see Vista Duo fold doors.
- Vistafold bi-fold doors: 3 to 10 panels, from 1 800 to 7 200 mm wide, in 2 100, 2 400 and some 2 700 mm heights. From R19 876 excluding VAT. The choice for wide living-room and entertainment openings; see Vistafold doors.
- Y-Louvre inserts: both ranges are also made with aluminium louvre blades instead of glass, for covered braai areas, sculleries and service yards. Louvres are not weatherproof, so use them only under cover.

Our aluminium folding door prices guide lists more sizes, and folding door sizes explains how to choose the width and the number of panels.
Aluminium folding doors Benoni: size and panels
- Measure the structural opening at the top, middle and bottom, and choose the standard width that fits within it; the actual frame is 10 mm smaller than the catalogue size each way.
- More panels means narrower panels that fold into a smaller stack, but more frame lines in the view.
- Choose bi-parting if you want the panels to stack on both sides and an opening in the centre.
- Decide which side the panels should stack, so they do not block a path, a light switch or a window.
- Keep the head height the same as nearby windows and doors for a tidy elevation.
Where folding doors work best
- Living room to patio: the classic use, turning the patio into part of the house in summer.
- Kitchen to braai area: pass food and drinks straight through, and close up to glass when it is cold.
- Entertainment area to pool: a 6 to 8 panel Vistafold opens the whole wall.
- Townhouse patios: a 2 or 4 panel Vista Duo makes a small living room feel much bigger.
- Covered braai areas and sculleries: a Y-Louvre insert gives airflow and privacy under cover.
Many aluminium folding doors Benoni customers order replace a pair of old French doors or a sliding door, so the room gains several metres of opening without any building work on the walls.
Planning a new opening
If you are building or making a new opening, decide on the folding-door size before the lintel goes in, and give your builder the catalogue size and the frame size, which is 10 mm smaller each way. A level floor and a straight lintel across the full width matter more for a folding door than for any other door, because every panel must run smoothly along the tracks. Plan a roof overhang or a covered patio over the opening; it keeps rain off the tracks and the sun off the glass.
Looking after folding doors
Keep the bottom track clean: vacuum out grit and leaves regularly, because dirt in the track is the main cause of stiff panels. Wipe the frames with mild soapy water, lubricate the hinges and locks with a dry silicone spray once or twice a year, and check the seals before winter. Our maintenance guide covers the routine, and bi-fold door locks explains the locking options.
Aluminium folding doors Benoni: open in or out?
Folding doors can fold inward or outward. Outward-folding doors keep the stacked panels out of the room; inward-folding doors keep them out of the weather and away from patio furniture. Our guide to bi-fold doors: open in or out explains the choice, and bi-fold door thresholds covers the track at floor level.
