Transform your indoor or outdoor space with bifold doors that are made without any vertical frames between the glass panels. Our system is a slimline bifold door that has panels fold to the side and take up minimal space. When the bifold system is closed, no frames interrupt the view so you can optimise the natural light into your property.

Bifold Door Benefits

1. Easy to Replace Existing Bifold Doors

Our system has slim line framing which can be used in replacement of current doors installed.

2. No Overhead Engineering Support Needed

All the weight of the Open Enclosure bifold doors is on the bottom. This means that removal and installation can happen on the same day.

3. Internal or external applications

The system has a weatherproof design. The innovative design prevents any wind or rain getting through the system when closed.

4. Locking options

The system has full locking potential with handles and key locks on the inside and outside. Panels will not move out of their position unless the system is unlocked.

5. Customisable

The system is made to order. We manufacture the system based on your requirements. You can select what frame colour, glass type and configuration is suitable for your space.

6. No ball bearings

No ball bearings are required for the bifold doors. The aluminium frame slides directly on a teflon track for a smooth and seamless operation.

Single or Double Glazed Bifold Doors

Traditional bifold doors can have double glazed or triple glazed options due to the framing around each glass panel. Our system comes in a single glazed option. There are different glass types that can be selected to improve the overall energy performance.

Technical Specifications

Our maximum panel width is 830mm. Overall opening sizes can be up to 20m long and 3m high. For details on our framing and specifications, please send us an email to info@openenclosure.com.au

A window servery is a glazing system that integrates on a bench top to create a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Servery windows are used in a home or commercial environment to optimise airflow and accessibility.  Windows that are designed to be used in servery applications should be simple to ingrate, have a minimalist design and the ability to open and close for easy access.

Servery windows are a convenient way to provide access between spaces, such as kitchens and dining areas. They work in any setting. Residential, commercial and even retail settings can benefit from a window servery.

Gas Strut Versus Stackable Window Servery

A gas strut servery or a stackable servery are two of the most common types of window servery designs. A gas strut system is a single pane of framed glass that opens up entirely using gas struts on the far ends. Contrary to this design, a stackable servery system has panels slide and stack to one side (or both). Both designs are great options and the decision to use one or the other often comes down to the space available and overall functionality you prefer.

The Open Enclosure system is the stackable servery window design. This means that individual panels are independently operated to give you flexibility with how much the system is open. With varied weather conditions, it may be preferable to open 1 or 2 panels as opposed to the entire unit. The architectural design provides an aesthetic option for those using it in either domestic or commercial applications.

Customisable Design

Our servery windows can be customised to suit the application. This includes customising the height and width of each individual glass panels, perimeter frame colour and the opening side and direction. The flexible design ensures that panels are not obtrusive and interrupt the flow and style of the bench top.

Slim Line and Concealed Frame

Many servery windows have relatively thick framing around the perimeter of the system and between individual panels. This can reduce the amount of natural light and hinder the indoor – outdoor feel. Our slimline aluminium frame provides a minimalist design and also has the added option to conceal within the bench or ceiling.

Waterproof Servery Window

When servery windows are exposed to outdoors, it is imperative that the system is able to withstand wind and rain. The tracking mechanism and weather proof seals between the panels ensure that no water or wind is penetrated.

Award Winning Design

A recent installation is a renovated home in Carlton North, Victoria featuring a window servery in our frameless stacking design.

Glass Energy Efficiency relies on the SHGC and U-Values. These are the two most commonly used measurements. We’ve provided a brief explanation to help you select the right option for your home.

What is a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)?

SHGC stands for Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. Measuring the SHGC helps us understand how much solar heat is gained through the glass window or door as a result of direct sunlight. When sunlight hits the glass, there is a portion of sunlight that is reflected. The remainder is either absorbed by the glass or transmitted through the glass. The SHGC is a percentage measure of solar heat gain that is transmitted through the glass. It is measured as a number between 0 and 1, with a higher co-efficient meaning that more heat gain will occur. More information can be found here.

After 4 years of operation in Australia, Open Enclosure has expanded into a new office space that features a showroom for clients to come and see our patented frameless glass sliding doors in action. We’re open 7 days by appointment and located at 19/442 Geelong Road, Yarraville, Victoria 3013. In previous years, our product was only viewable at exhibitions and job sites across previous client installations. The new office space is double the size of our previous space in Port Melbourne to cater for a growing demand across Australia. The extra room has also allowed us to in-house the majority of our operations aside from the local manufacturing of the glass. The good news for clients is that both the increase in quantity of production materials and our fabrication vertical integration means that cost savings are passed on to make it a more affordable replacement to traditional bifold doors. Additionally, we have had a 3x increase in our team size which comprises of client relations, installers and fabricators, resulting in a decrease in our lead times by 25% to meet client demands faster. We have some exciting new frameless products coming in the future as we continue to expand – stay tuned!
