Aliplast Panorama DV

Aliplast Panorama DV Folding Door System

The Aliplast Panorama DV Folding Door System is an aluminum system for glazed folding doors. Its linked leaves fold toward a side of the opening, bringing the panel group together instead of sliding one panel past another. The leaf sequence and collection side affect how much of the opening is clear when the door is open, so they are useful early decisions for a terrace or other broad glazed passage. Aliplast lists inward- and outward-opening designs and groupings such as 2+1, 3+2, and 3+3 leaves. These are layout options; the selected direction and leaf scheme should suit the opening and surrounding space. The manufacturer identifies balconies, terraces, winter gardens, and public or commercial buildings among Panorama applications. For the base DV variant, the frame and leaf depths are 74.5 mm, the infill range is 16 to 50 mm, and the maximum leaf weight is 100 kg. These figures belong to DV and should not be confused with the separate DV i+ version. Confirm the intended infill and configuration for the opening rather than treating a system option as a finished-door specification.

Fold Direction, Leaf Groups, and Hardware

When planning a folding door, consider which side will receive the folded leaves and whether the door should open inward or outward. That decision affects the space needed beside the opening and how people approach it in daily use. The manufacturer’s 2+1, 3+2, and 3+3 examples describe possible leaf groupings, helping the designer consider the balance between leaf sequence and clear passage. They are system schemes, not a confirmation that each is available for every opening. Aliplast lists hardware choices that include an integrated hinge with a bottom carriage, a hinge with a pull handle, and low-profile handles. These components are options for the system and are not assumed to be included in the listing; their suitability depends on the selected configuration. Base DV has a published Uf from 1.68 W/m²K, dependent on profile combination and infill thickness. Uf is a profile/system value, not a whole-door Uw or Ud. Aliplast also lists air Class 2 under EN 12207, wind Class C1 at 400 Pa under EN 12210, and water Class E1050 under EN 12208 for base DV. These are manufacturer system references; the exact values for a fabricated door depend on its specified assembly. Match fold direction, leaf group, infill, and hardware to the project, and keep the chosen version specifically identified as base DV. Because the leaves gather beside the opening, check that the fold side and inward or outward movement suit the adjacent route. Decide this with the leaf grouping: the number and distribution of leaves affect the stack at the edge of the opening. Considering the door both in use and folded aside helps clarify the passage the project needs.
