lock (therefore preventing any possible damage), sealed bearings in the stainless-steel wheels, and lateral rollers residing in a unique pivoting axle that allows the wheels to follow any misalignment in the stainless-steel tracks underneath - doors have been rigorously tested to glide effortlessly with class-leading smoothness for years to come.

Engineered with versatility in mind, configuration allows either a standard threshold or a rebated integrated cill with a low 52mm step-over height, whilst build options allow sashes up to 1.25m, systems up to 6.5m width and 2.5m height, and between one and seven sashes in total.

All are in multiple configurations of stacking and direction, whilst frame and doors are available in white, grey, black or dual colour for a striking contrast, plus any BS or RAL colours in matt, satin or gloss for striking big impact projects. All are expertly powder coated for a consistently smooth, low maintenance and durable weatherproof finish. High-quality bespoke hardware is available to match or to contrast - the traffic door and shoot bolt handles are available in black, white, grey, polished chrome or brushed stainless steel.

Korniche bi-folds also feature a world first that will be of maximum interest to the installer – a unique and patented clip-in internal glazing bead that looks set to be the standard by which all other systems are judged. As another industry first for Made for Trade, the mechanism uses an outer section of traditional powder coated aluminium to match the surrounding sash, yet with the high tolerance to work as the clip-in bead element.

Thanks to the high precision materials and manufacturing tolerances with no wedge gasket used, the result is that beading time for the installer can be reduced to a matter of seconds per sash. Furthermore, a unique de-glazing tool is supplied with each kit that engages down the glass line to remove beads quickly and easily in a couple of seconds, enabling glass to be removed without risk of damage to the powder coating finish of the bead or sash. www.korniche.co.uk

Korniche bi-folding doors are supplied preassembled and ready to glaze, whilst high efficiency insulated glass unit options include Planitherm Total Plus or Planitherm One as well as laminated options, with low-E coatings that minimise the amount of ultraviolet and infrared without compromising the amount of light transmitted.

Tested down to -45°C and up to 85°C, Warm Edge Technology offers significantly improved performance to reduce thermal conductivity, providing lower heat loss as well as up to 2dB lower noise transmission and reduced condensation by up to 70%.

Finally, a comprehensive 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee against all part and manufacturing defects offers unbeatable peace of mind and backs up the assurance that Korniche products are engineered to the highest standards on the market.

Combined with MFT’s investment in the latest fabrication methods, Korniche delivers better quality with unique features and aesthetic appeal, so consumers can enjoy glazing innovations that are not only stronger, slimmer, safer and warmer, but also that can be installed with speed and ease; elevating the design of a project into a magnificent living space in the smallest timeframe possible.
