SONAFOLD - Top Hung Acoustic Folding Door

The SONAFOLD insulated folding door is ideally suited to the closure of internal or external openings where a reduction in noise transmission is required. Its flat faced robust construction renders it capable of withstanding severe wind conditions whilst maintaining a high aesthetic appearance.

STANDARD SPECIFICATION

Panels
The door panels are constructed from rolled steel hollow sections with 2mm thick flat galvanised steel facing sheets on both sides. The panels are infilled with a high-density insulation material and have an overall thickness of 64mm.

Tracks
The door panels are top-hung on four wheel bearing hangers which incorporate the panel hinges and run in a galvanised top track. An auxiliary top track is attached to allow the panels to fold correctly. Brass rollers connected to the bottom hinges run in a steel channel bottom track, which is set for alignment within a 200mm x 100mm chase before final grouting into position.

Door Arrangements
The doors are normally face fixed to the inside of the opening but can be arranged to mount directly between jambs. They can be supplied as a single door (bunching to one side) or bi-parting.

Acoustic Properties
When tested, the door achieved a weighted sound reduction index Rw of 28dB.

Thermal Insulation
The door panels provide a "u" value of 0.47 w/m2/deg.C.

OPERATION

The doors can be supplied either manually or electrically operated dependant on size and client requirements. The electric version uses a totally enclosed 3 phase motor gearbox mounted on the top track with open/close/stop push buttons adjacent to the opening at the bunch side. Disconnection for emergency manual operation is provided at low level at the motor side. Safety edges are fitted as standard to the leading edges.


FINISH
The majority of parts are galvanised with other components prime painted. Polyester powder coating to a range of standard colours is an optional extra.
