Overview
What makes the Panorama
stand out.
Aliplast Panorama is a 3-chamber thermally insulated aluminum bifold door system designed to open entire walls to the outdoors. Panels fold in an accordion configuration - inward or outward - in layouts from 2+1 up to 8 panels total, including mullion-free corner solutions. Available in two thermal tiers: DV (standard, Uf 1.68) and DV i+ (enhanced insulation with polyamide thermal breaks, Uf 1.33). The i+ variant achieves whole-window values as low as Uw 0.89 with triple glazing - among the best in the bifold category. Integrated Winkhaus hardware includes hinges with bottom roller carriages for smooth folding, pull-handle hinges, and low-profile handles that minimize the footprint of the stacked panels. Two threshold options: a flat threshold with brush seal for near-flush indoor-outdoor transitions, or a sealed full-perimeter frame for maximum weather tightness. The slim 74.5 mm profile depth keeps sightlines narrow while accommodating glazing up to 50 mm. Finish options span the full RAL palette, wood-effect (Wood Colour Effect), stone-look (Loft View), anodized, and bi-color combinations.

Ideal For
Patio-to-garden transitions, covered outdoor entertaining areas, kitchen pass-throughs, restaurants and hospitality venues needing wide openable walls. The i+ variant suits cold-climate projects. Corner solutions work well for L-shaped terraces.
Consider an Alternative When
If you need taller openings above 8.5 feet, the Aluprof MB-86 Fold Line HD reaches 10 feet and handles heavier panels. If you prefer sliding over folding, the Aliplast Ultraglide or Reynaers MasterPatio offer wider individual panels without stacking.
