Hot and Humid Climate
Material Selection: Aluminum alloy folding doors are a good choice. Aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance, is not prone to rusting, can maintain stable performance in humid environments, and has a long service life. Moreover, it has a relatively high thermal conductivity, dissipates heat quickly, is not likely to form condensation on the surface, and has excellent moisture-proof performance.
Ventilation Design: Choose folding door styles with a larger ventilation area, such as multi-panel folding designs. This can enable better circulation of indoor and outdoor air, enhance the ventilation effect, help reduce the stuffiness and humidity indoors, and keep the air fresh.
Sealing Performance: Although ventilation is important, good sealing performance is equally indispensable. High-quality rubber sealing strips can effectively prevent rainwater, moisture, and mosquitoes from entering the room. While ensuring ventilation, they can also maintain the comfort of the indoor environment.
Cold Climate
Material and Thermal Insulation Performance: Folding doors made of PVC plastic, fiberglass reinforced plastic, etc. can be considered. These materials have relatively good thermal insulation performance and can effectively reduce the loss of indoor heat, keeping the room warm.
Glass Selection: If the folding door has glass, you can choose double-glazed or laminated glass. The air layer in the middle of the double-glazed glass or the heat-insulating material in the laminated glass can effectively block the conduction of heat, improve the thermal insulation performance of the door, reduce the speed of heat transfer from the indoor to the outdoor, and reduce energy consumption.
Windproof Design: Cold regions are often accompanied by windy weather, so the windproof performance of folding doors is crucial. Choose folding doors that are firmly installed and have good sealing properties to ensure that the doors will not be blown open or have large gaps in windy weather, which would affect the thermal insulation effect. At the same time, pay attention to checking whether the hardware fittings of the doors are sturdy and durable enough to withstand the force of the strong wind.
Sandy and Windy Climate
Sealing and Dustproof: Folding doors with good sealing performance can effectively block sand and wind from entering the room. Ensure that there are high-quality sealing strips around the door and on the tracks. The material of the strips should have good wear resistance and weather resistance to prevent the sealing effect from deteriorating due to long-term erosion by sand and wind. When the door is closed, it can form a tight seal to keep the sand and wind out.
Material Rigidity: Choose folding doors made of sturdy and non-deformable materials, such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel. These materials have high strength and hardness, can withstand the impact of sand and wind, are not easily scratched or damaged by sand and wind, and ensure the normal use and aesthetics of the door.
Track Design: The design of the track also affects the dustproof effect of the folding door. Try to choose styles with deeper and better-sealed tracks. This can reduce the accumulation of sand and wind in the track, lower the cleaning difficulty, and also prevent sand and wind from entering the room through the track gaps.
Coastal Typhoon-Prone Climate
Wind Pressure Resistance Performance: Coastal areas are often hit by typhoons, so folding doors must have strong wind pressure resistance. Select products that meet high standards of wind pressure resistance requirements, such as aluminum alloy folding doors that have passed professional wind pressure resistance tests and reached the corresponding grades. Their structural design is reasonable and they can remain stable under the action of strong winds, without deformation, damage, or falling off.
Material and Durability: Stainless steel folding doors are a good choice in coastal areas. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, can resist the erosion of sea breeze and salt in seawater, and prolong the service life of the door. At the same time, it has high strength and can withstand the powerful pressure brought by typhoons.
Installation Firmness: Besides the performance of the product itself, correct and firm installation is also the key to ensuring the safety and reliability of folding doors in typhoon weather. Professional installers will use appropriate installation accessories and methods to firmly fix the folding doors on the wall to ensure that they will not become loose or be blown down when typhoons strike.
