Intelligence
Popularization of Automated Operation: With the increasing development of intelligence, more and more advanced devices and cutting-edge technologies will be applied to the use of doors and windows. For example, the opening and closing of doors can be operated intelligently. Besides, this kind of intelligent electronic operation can also be used when installing curtains.
Equipped with advanced sensors and intelligent control systems, it can achieve automatic induction of door opening and closing. For instance, through sensors such as infrared rays and microwaves, when a human body or an object approaches, the folding door will automatically open, facilitating people’s entry and exit and improving the passage efficiency. Using such advanced equipment can greatly enhance work efficiency. It allows people to free their hands and use their time for other tasks.
Remote Control and Integration with Smart Home Systems: It can be connected to devices such as mobile phone apps and smart speakers to achieve remote control of the opening and closing of the folding door. It can also be integrated with the smart home system and linked with devices such as lights, air conditioners, and security systems. For example, when the folding door is opened, the indoor lights will automatically turn on, and the air conditioner temperature will be adjusted. Doors and windows can all be remotely controlled. Even when people are not at home, they can close the doors and windows. For example, during rainy days, they can close the doors and windows to prevent external rainwater from drifting in and protect the furniture at home from getting wet.
Upgrading of Intelligent Safety Protection: More safety monitoring functions will be added. For example, the anti-pinch function can, through pressure sensors or infrared induction technology, immediately stop and reopen the door when an obstacle is detected during the closing process. The anti-collision function can use radar or cameras to monitor the surrounding environment to prevent the door from colliding with people and objects.
The intelligent upgrade is inevitable because future technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) will become more and more advanced. Therefore, it is entirely possible to develop doors and windows using AI. The future development trend will surely move in this direction.
Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection
Application of New Energy-saving Materials: Materials with better heat insulation performance, such as broken bridge aluminum and new plastics, will be adopted to reduce heat transfer, lower the heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor areas, and improve energy utilization efficiency. For the glass part, low-emissivity glass, insulating glass, etc. can be used to enhance the thermal insulation effect. The materials used in the future will become more and more environmentally friendly and intelligent. Therefore, the use of new energy-saving materials in the future is an inevitable trend.
Improvement of Sealing Technology: Optimize the sealing structure and materials of the folding door to improve its sealing performance, reduce air infiltration, and lower the heat loss indoors. This can reduce the energy consumption for heating and cooling, playing a role in energy conservation and environmental protection. The sealing technology used in the future will get better and better. In winter, the low outdoor temperature will not seep in, maintaining a constant indoor temperature. In summer, the indoor air will not seep out, effectively protecting the indoor temperature and keeping the room cool.
Energy Recovery and Utilization: Some electric folding doors may adopt a solar power supply system, using solar energy to power the door’s driving system and intelligent devices, reducing the dependence on traditional energy sources.
Personalized Customization
Diversified Material and Color Choices: Provide a wider variety of materials, such as wood, metal, glass, fabric, etc., as well as rich colors and surface treatment processes to meet the different needs of consumers for home styles and personalization, making the folding door better integrate with the indoor and outdoor environments.
Unique Shape and Size Design: According to different spaces and usage requirements, various folding doors with unique shapes, such as curved shapes and polygons, will be designed. At the same time, different sizes can be customized to meet the needs of special spaces or large openings. In the future, it will increasingly be an era of personalized customization because people don’t want to have folding doors or windows that are the same as others’. It will be a bit awkward and embarrassing in such a situation. Because consumers’ psychology is to create unique folding doors or windows. Unique doors and windows can highlight one’s sense of superiority and aesthetic taste.
Functional Customization: According to the special needs of users, folding doors with specific functions can be customized, such as soundproof folding doors, fireproof folding doors, radiation-proof folding doors, etc., to meet the special requirements of different places.
Multi-functional Integration
Integration with Other Home Products: Combine the folding door with home products such as wardrobes, bookshelves, and partitions to form a multi-functional integrated design, which not only saves space but also increases the practicality and aesthetics of the home.
Adding Additional Functions: Integrate functions such as mirrors, storage compartments, and display screens on the folding door, so that it not only has the basic function of a door but also can meet people’s needs in aspects such as dressing, storage, and information viewing.
Improvement in Quality and Performance
Structural Optimization and Enhanced Durability: Adopt more advanced manufacturing processes and high-quality components to optimize the structural design of the folding door, improve its stability and durability, reduce the probability of failures, and extend its service life.
Improvement of Sound Insulation Effect: Through measures such as improving the track system and adding sound insulation materials, reduce the noise generated during the opening and closing process of the folding door, providing a quieter usage environment.
