Installation Support
DIY-friendly: owners and contractors get 1-on-1 factory technical support.
ProSill™ installation for SAINTY bi-fold doors requires precise leveling of the head track and sill to ensure even weight distribution across the folding panels. We recommend utilizing a recessed drainage sill for New York apartment balconies to maintain ADA compliance while providing a 720 Pa water barrier.
Installers must ensure shim placement at every hinge point and head track mounting location to prevent sagging. EPDM gasket sealing must be continuous at all corner joints to maintain the air infiltration rating of 0.06 cfm/ft².

Every milestone is documented with photos in the SAINTY app.
How does SAINTY manufacture and ensure quality for custom windows and doors?
Every unit follows the same documented 11-step process: approved shop drawings, precision machining, assembly, glazing, multi-point quality inspection (dimensions, finish and operation), and documented container loading. Buyers see each step in real time, making SAINTY one of the most supply-chain-transparent manufacturers in the industry.
Are these bi-fold doors tested for fire resistance in multi-story buildings?
Yes, our fire-rated aluminum systems are tested to ASTM standards to ensure they meet the specific safety requirements for high-density residential developments. The combination of fire-rated glazing and reinforced aluminum profiles provides the necessary protection levels while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of a modern folding door system.
What is the thermal performance rating for these doors in cold climates?
SAINTY bi-fold doors achieve a U-Factor between 0.20 and 0.32 Btu/h·ft²·°F as rated per NFRC 100-2020. This performance level, achieved through triple-pane glazing and 34mm thermal breaks, makes them highly effective at reducing heat loss during New York winters while meeting strict local energy codes.
What type of sill and hardware configuration is used for water resistance?
These doors utilize a high-performance sill tested to a water penetration resistance of 720 Pa (15 psf) per ASTM E331. The hardware includes Grade 304 stainless steel multi-point locking systems and heavy-duty rollers to ensure a weather-tight seal and smooth operation under high wind load conditions.
Do SAINTY fire rated aluminum bi-fold doors comply with New York energy code requirements?
Yes. SAINTY Fire Rated Aluminum Bi-Fold Doors units are fully compliant with New York energy code requirements, achieving a certified U-Factor of 0.30 and an SHGC of SHGC ≤ 0.23 when tested under NFRC 100-2020 and NFRC 200-2020 procedures. Performance is verified on AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 tested assemblies, and the NFRC label certificate is supplied with every order for permit submission.
