System “Acordeón” based on Thermo Profiles

The System “Acordeón” based on Thermo profiles is designed for spaces where you want to fold away large glazed surfaces, achieving almost full visual and physical openness to outdoor spaces like terraces, verandas or gardens, while still maintaining thermal comfort when closed. The system uses profiles with a mounting depth of 70 mm and a six-chamber design which provides structural strength and insulation support. Panels can accommodate insulating glass up to 40 mm thick, letting you specify higher-performance units to meet energy or acoustic requirements.

Each folding leaf can weigh up to about 80 kg, which allows for practical widths and heights of panels without being excessively heavy. For example, one listed size is 900 × 2360 mm. The hardware is engineered for smooth operation: double-bearing roller carriages and top/bottom guides give stable quiet movement and durability.

What sets this system apart is the folding configuration. Unlike fixed panes or sliding doors, the “folding accordion” format uses several leaf panels connected by hinges and folding toward one side (or both depending on scheme) so you can open up nearly the entire width of the opening if needed. The system supports configurations from 2 leaves up to 7 leaves, and combinations of folding + hinged leaves depending on the layout. This flexibility means you can specify according to space, desired opening size and traffic flow (for example a terrace where you want full opening on nice days and closed insulated structure on colder times).

From a design and comfort perspective, the system works well when you want a minimal threshold or clear passage. The profiles and guide rails allow for low guides, making the transition floor-to-outside smoother. It also allows excellent daylight penetration, panoramic views, and a premium aesthetic for modern design-oriented homes or hospitality spaces.

On the thermal/acoustic front, the combination of multi-chamber profile, good sealing, and the possibility of high-performance insulating glass means that even though you have large openings, the closed system retains heat, keeps out noise and wind, and maintains comfort. While the leaf weight and size may require solid structural supports, the hardware and profiles are engineered to handle the loads and maintain smooth operation over long life cycles.

From a marketing standpoint, this system can be positioned as a high-end solution for clients who want the “fold-open wall” effect — merging indoor and outdoor spaces — but don’t want to compromise on insulation and day-to-day usability. Key selling messages: fold-open design, thermal comfort when closed, premium appearance, wide opening flexibility. For a catalogue, highlight how it enables large glazed expanses to fold away, offering light-filled spaces and seamless access to terraces or gardens, while performing as a door/partition when closed.

Installation-wise you’ll want to check structural load for supports (especially top track and bottom guide if present), specify correct hardware set depending on number of leaves and panel size, and ensure sealing and threshold detail is right for weather performance. The system is especially appropriate for terraces, verandas, garden-facing walls, high-end residential or commercial spaces where design impact and comfort both matter.
