What is a pre-gasketed bifold door?

A pre-gasketed bifold door is a type of door commonly used in industrial or commercial settings, however are increasingly being used in the residential setting. It consists of two door panels that are hinged together in the middle, allowing them to fold inwards or outwards when opening or closing the door.

The term "pre-gasketed" refers to the presence of gaskets or seals on the door panels. Gaskets are strips of material, often made of rubber or silicone, that are attached to the edges of the door panels. These gaskets create a tight seal when the door is closed, preventing the passage of air, dust, or other contaminants between the panels.

The gaskets on a pre-gasketed bifold door help provide insulation, soundproofing, and weatherproofing properties. They can also enhance the door's energy efficiency by reducing air leakage. This makes pre-gasketed bifold doors suitable for environments that require controlled temperature conditions or where airtight seals are necessary, such as cold storage facilities, clean rooms, or laboratories.

Overall, pre-gasketed bifold doors offer functionality, versatility, and sealing capabilities, making them a popular choice for various industrial, commercial and residential applications.
