Benefits of Free Folding Windows
Space-saving: Free folding windows are an excellent space-saving solution as they fold neatly to the side, creating a wide opening without taking up much interior or exterior space. This is particularly advantageous for smaller rooms or spaces where traditional windows might swing in or out, encroaching on valuable area.
Versatility: Free folding windows are a versatile option as they can be partially or fully opened, providing ventilation and natural light control. You can open them completely to merge indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly, which is perfect for entertaining or enjoying a pleasant breeze on a nice day.
Natural light: Free folding windows are a great way to let in natural light, brightening up your space and making it more inviting. This also helps to reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, which can save on energy costs and create a healthier indoor environment.
how oridow makes the best energy-efficient free Folding Window?
Step 1: use the Best aluminium profile system
The aluminium profile is the most important part of the aluminium window. Aluminium profiles have different cross-section shapes and colors. When you apply for a quotation, we should confirm the surface treatment and color first, as it influence the price directly. If you have no special request for the crosee-section, we will choose the suitable profile system based on your request of the window types. What you need to do is choose the surface treatment and color of the profile.
- Powder coating: The most frequently applied surface treatment for aluminium windows. During the powder coating process, a free-flowing dry powder is electrostatically applied to add color or finish effects. It is then cured via heat treatment or UV lights. The advantages of powder coating lie in the combination matrix of color, function, gloss and corrosion properties.
- Anodized: One of the oldest and more sustainable surface treatments of aluminium. It is a process in which the outer surface of an aluminum profile is converted into aluminium oxide, a ceramic with unique properties, which is used to create a permanent new appearance. With anodizing, the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminium is made during an electrochemical process, the natural aluminium color can be maintained, but a variety of other colors are also available.
- PVDF coating: PVDF coating is a resin-based coating with 70% fluoropolymer resins. It protects aluminium products from oxidation and provides aesthetic elements.
- Electrophoresis coating: the surface of the profile is combined with anodic oxidation and electrophoresis.
No matter which surface treatment you choose, they are available in different colors. Most of them are have white, grey and black colors at stock. We are able to customiz different colors according to the RAL color card.
Stepe 2: use top quality hardware
Hardware plays an important role in the function of aluminium windows. Different window types need different hardware systems to meet their function. We use Kinglong brand and HOPO brand hardware, which is rust-resustant and heavy duty, and will increase the sealing resistance of the aluminum window and guarantee the energy efficiency.
Screen Options
For household needs, screens are indispensable. We present two distinct screen styles for your selection.
Retractable screen
A retractable screen consists of an aluminum frame equipped with a durable fiberglass mesh. This innovative screening solution offers versatile functionality, allowing it to be smoothly pulled upwards and downwards or shifted horizontally.
Given that Bifold windows typically feature a wider design, it is advisable to opt for retractable screens that either slide side to side or open from middle. This type of screen design ensures that the functionality and aesthetics of wide gas strut windows are perfectly matched and enhanced, providing an elegant and practical solution for ventilation and light control.

Opening Modes and Flexibility
- Free Folding Window: This design offers a more flexible and diverse opening mode that allows users to fully open, partially open, or completely close the window, based on their specific needs. This flexibility helps meet various requirements for indoor ventilation, lighting, and privacy. For instance, when maximum ventilation and light are desired, the window can be fully folded open. Conversely, it can be partially folded open for minimal ventilation.
- Sliding Bifold Window: While this type of window can also be folded, it lacks the flexibility in controlling the opening range. It typically offers only a limited number of positions: fully open, fully closed, or half-open at a fixed angle. This lack of flexibility can restrict user options.
Space Utilization
- Free Folding Windows: When closed, free folding windows occupy a minimal amount of space. They allow you to select an external folding mode, which further conserves indoor space. This feature is particularly beneficial for small households or areas with limited space, such as balconies or kitchen windows in small apartments.
- Sliding Bifold Windows: In contrast, some ordinary folding windows may occupy more space when closed due to their folding mechanism or structural design. This can be less efficient in terms of space utilization.
Ventilation and Lighting Effects
- Free Folding Windows: These windows can be fully opened, allowing for maximum opening area with minimal obstruction. This design enables an excellent influx of natural light into the room and facilitates optimal air circulation, resulting in effective ventilation that helps to keep the indoor air fresh.
- Sliding Bifold Windows: In contrast, some ordinary folding windows may have a smaller opening area due to the sash structure or track design. This limitation can negatively impact both lighting and ventilation, resulting in a reduced amount of natural light and airflow.
Aesthetics and Vision
- Free Folding Windows: The design of free folding windows is simple and modern, featuring smooth lines and high aesthetic appeal whether they are open or closed. When fully opened, these windows offer an unobstructed, wide view, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces. This enhances the sense of openness and visual appeal within the area.
- Sliding Bifold Windows: In contrast, ordinary folding windows often have wider frames or more traditional designs. When closed, they can divide the window view into several sections, which detracts from the overall aesthetics and coherence of the view.
Security
- Free Folding Windows: These windows typically feature advanced hardware and a robust structural design, resulting in a small gap when closed. This makes them difficult to open from the outside, offering strong anti-theft protection and enhancing the safety of both indoor occupants and property.
- Sliding Bifold Windows: The security of these windows can vary significantly depending on the specific product. Some ordinary folding windows come with relatively simple locks and structures, which may not provide the same level of anti-theft protection as free folding windows.
Price Comparison
- Free-Folding Windows:** Generally speaking, free-folding windows tend to be priced higher due to the increased design, material, and craftsmanship requirements. These windows use high-quality hardware to ensure ease of opening and closing, and they involve more sophisticated manufacturing processes to ensure good sealing and stability.
- Sliding Bifold Windows: On the other hand, ordinary folding windows offer a broader price range and are typically more affordable. They cater to consumers with various budget needs, but in terms of performance and functionality, they may not match the standards of free-folding windows.
