KORNICHE BI-FOLDING DOORS USHERS IN 2022 WITH NEW SALES OPPORTUNITIES

Highly-respected Korniche brand’s bi-fold system offers a plethora of benefits to make it the number one choice for installers, retailers and consumers alike in 2022

‘Engineered to Inspire’ from the outset, Made For Trade’s multi award-winning Korniche brand was founded with the mission to bring inspirational products to light via innovative design and engineering.

As a recent addition to the portfolio, the bi-folding door system’s attributes are already seeing it follow in the footsteps of the renowned lantern roof’s sales success, which since launch in 2016 has received multiple awards for its impressive design and aesthetics, including both builder and homeowner accreditation.

Created as a completely new system from the ground up, the MFT engineering team behind the Korniche bi-fold created a product that encompasses precision, simplicity, and refined aesthetics to design an uncompromised class-leading glazing option driven by perfection. The combination of smart technology and inspired visuals means slim, industry-leading sightlines for the consumer thanks to low-profile extrusions, along with robust long-lasting functionality and security with breathtaking elegance.

Every single component from the polyamide thermally broken profile with sharp clean paint lines to the smallest unseen fitting has been meticulously engineered to ensure the unrivalled quality that not only consumers have come to expect from Made For Trade, but also those involved in trade supply and installation.

From patented fitting innovations to industry-leading compartmentalised parts box and precision tolerances, quick and hassle free fitment and glazing has become another MFT hallmark that is proving hard to beat in the trade. Whether you are set to become an installer, supplier or looking for the right bi-folding door system for your project, the ease of installation – each and every time - saves fitting hours and as a result maximises value for all concerned.

Korniche includes a wealth of features that have succeeded in improving heat retention and security, but also functionality and aesthetic appeal. The slim profiles maximise natural light to flood the living space, whilst the aluminium extrusion offers the next step in accuracy. This means tighter tolerances and ease of fitting, but also impeccable weather resistance, incredible heat retention, and low maintenance.

The security aspect remains at the forefront of any Made For Trade product, and with enhanced protection as standard with Korniche it is designed in from day one. The bi-fold doors and their durable frames come rigorously tested to keep homes fully protected – they are certified to the advanced PAS24:2016 standard, including a three-star Yale locking barrel, high strength shoot bolts and multi-point FUHR locking.

The MFT engineering team’s way is always to innovate, with clever security details including a unique new shoot bolt handle with an anti-back drive element. As a result, even if left unlocked a forced entry attempt can’t rotate the handle to open the door – this kind of reliable, robust touch sits at the forefront of fenestration security in 2022.

Other innovative design touches include a shoot bolt handle that is impossible to open if the key is left in the
