greenteQ gets a Handle on Bi-Folds

Hardware manufacturer VBH has expanded its range of bi-fold door handles with a new addition to the greenteQ SlimFold range.

The new internal/external handle set provides customers with the option to operate the door’s intermediate locks from both the inside and outside. The handle accepts a Euro profile cylinder for security.

VBH advise that, as with the existing internal-only SlimFold options, which are available with and without the provision of a cylinder hole, the new handle set stands just 17mm off the face of the door when inactive. The lever nestles into the base plate when not in use, allowing the sashes to stack closely together when fully open.

SlimFold is available in up to six colours of the greenteQ Suite to perfectly match or complement aluminium bi-fold door finishes.

Dan Powell, Head of Sales at VBH, tells us, “The greenteQ Suite is our very popular range of patio door, residential door and window furniture that is available in matching colours and styling to tie in a full house installation. We’re very pleased to have added this handle option to the Suite in time for the spring bi-fold boom.”

The handles feature ‘Lift & Turn’ technology. To open the door, the user simply pushes the top of the lever to raise the bottom of the handle from its ‘nest’, then turns the handle to unlock the door.

SlimFold handles are approved for use on Q-secure installations, and the 10-year function and surface guarantee cover all colours, including plated handles.

Dan adds, “It’s important that our standard 10 year surface guarantee covers all finishes so our customers, and their customers, can be in no doubt about what is covered. greenteQ’s six layer surface treatment gives us the confidence to guarantee all Suite finishes for a decade.

“Our greenteQ design team has been busy, and we hope to have some more exciting new additions for PVCu and aluminium customers in the spring. Read about them here first.”
