Remanso bi-folding shutter doors are multi-panel doors that fold back on themselves to open your pergola space. They use a hinged folding mechanism that lets you open them partially or completely.
These doors give you flexible control over privacy, ventilation, and natural light in your outdoor space.
Key Features You Get
Bi-Folding Operation
The doors consist of multiple panels connected by hinges. When you open them, the panels fold back against each other, stacking to one side of the opening.
This folding action means the doors take up minimal space when open, unlike sliding doors that need room to slide along tracks.
Manual Operation
You operate the doors by hand, pushing or pulling them to fold or unfold as needed. The mechanism is designed for smooth, effortless movement.
Privacy Control
When closed, the doors provide complete privacy screening. When open, they give you full access and visibility to your outdoor surroundings.
Ventilation Management
You can open the doors partially to allow airflow while maintaining some privacy, or fully open them for maximum ventilation and access.
Size Options Available
The doors come in three standard widths to match different pergola sizes:
2.5m Wide Doors
Designed for smaller pergola openings or intimate outdoor spaces.
3m Wide Doors
The standard size for most residential pergola installations.
4m Wide Doors
For larger pergola openings or commercial outdoor spaces.
