Sunspace · Bi-fold doors
WeatherMaster Plus bi-fold doors
Most patio doors give you a four-foot hole in the wall. A bi-fold gives you the wall.
A wall that folds out of the way
The panels fold back on themselves and stack to one side. Closed, it's a thermally broken, weather-sealed aluminum door wall. Open, it's as wide as the structure allows.
Choose how the wall opens
Drawn with 6 panels. Up to 7 panels fold left and 7 right, up to 9' 10" tall. Doors can open in or out, and any layout can be opened from outside.

What's in the frame
- Thermal break
- A 30 mm polyamide strip sits between the inner and outer aluminum. Without it the frame carries cold and condensation.
- Profile
- Sash and frame are the same depth, so the sightlines are slim and there is more glass.
- Hardware
- European-designed.
- Height
- Up to 9' 10" (3000 mm).
- Panels
- Up to 7 left and 7 right.
- Layouts
- All one way, split evenly, or an uneven split.
- Opens
- In or out, with the same profiles. The choice follows your furniture and patio depth.
Glass for how you'll use the room
Full thermal insulating glass
The highest performance, for a wall between a heated or cooled room and the outside.
- Clear
- Smoke Gray
- Dark Gray
- Bronze
On a west- or south-facing wall, choose a tint. Untinted glass facing west is uncomfortable from May on, and adding shade later is a poor substitute.
What Vivid does
Sunspace makes it. We measure, design and install it.
A fourteen-panel opening needs an engineered header. On a retrofit, we find out at the consultation, not after demolition.
- MeasureWe measure the house and the yard with a Moasure, a digital measuring tool.
- Design in 3DWe draw it in 3D, usually right away, and can show the Sunspace product on a photo of your own house.
- PermitWe pull the permit when one is needed. We never ask you to.
- InstallWe install it, and our labor carries a 1-year warranty.
- Check the structureWe tell you honestly what it can carry.
Thresholds and handles
Threshold: low or raised?
There are several thresholds, from a weather-rated raised sill to low-profile flush transitions. Low looks better, high sheds water better. It depends on overhang, patio slope and exposure.
HOPPE Atlanta handles
Cast aluminum levers on sculpted cast backplates, built for multi-point locks and fully reversible, with a solid 8 mm spindle. HOPPE gives a 10-year surface guarantee and a 10-year operational guarantee.
Finishes, matched to the frame:
