multi paneled bi fold patio doors supplier glass panels

[notrub]

Hi, 

I am looking for a supplier or manufacturer of multi paneled bi fold patio doors.  Also called accordion doors etc.  Pinterest has lots of examples.  We are in Ban Mai Chaiyaphot sort of near Buriram.to our south,  east of Nakhon Ratchasima and south of Khon Kaen. so a supplier from any of these areas would be best.  I understand it may be that we must source from BKK and that would be OK if nothing closer.   The opening is about 4 M wide and I currently have 8 - 45 cm (ish) solid wood panel folding doors but we have just built a pool so now glass would be a good to get if poss.  Sadly, I am not a wealthy man so cost will be a factor too.  Thanks in advance for any help and/or ideas.

Not rub,
Lots of advice offered plus questions so we might better identify your problem regarding your pool pump. No response, no feedback, no thank you.
Despite that I saw an advert for what looked like very good bifold doors on Facebook a couple of days ago. I will try and track it down for you and send you the link.

Sorry Freddy,  Normally I post a thank you after a question has been replied to.  Happily the pump situation has been resolved by a team from Ruangsangthai and they are busy getting my new pool ready.  If you come across some information about these multi paneled bifold door that would be great. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi Notrub. No worries.
I couldn't find the advert I saw on Facebook. However, I think most of the door places will do bi-folds. They will come to your place and measure accordingly. Ultimately, bi folds are just doors with hinges/folding mechanism.
I'd have a drive through Buriram, there's several door places.
Also the big DIY shops, Global, Homepro, do them.

Pinterest has several thousand photos of different styles and options for these bifold doors but I have not seen them here in Thailand.  Thanks for any ideas or comments on where to find this product.

Have a look around dohome in Korat. I believe I saw some there when I was looking for the hardware to build my bifold windows. You may want to check with Ruangsangthai because they have a few door suppliers and if the company makes them Bob can order for you.

Thanks deputydavid.  The only one that Bob knows about is some supplier of SS frames and I am not even going to pursue that lead due to my limited budget.  I already have an 8 panel hardwood bifold in place.  I got the local shop to make the panels and I bought the hardware etc..  I paid over 12.000 THB for these doors and I would not just discard them.  Too cheap, I am so, there they are going to stay.  We just finished a pool and terrace out the back of my L shaped bungalow and it could be nice to have glass doors to look at it.  But the big motivation is that I am building a 50 or 60  m2 guest house and it will have an opening 4 meters wide and about 280 high.  The same as the one where my wood door are now.  So I can use these (very nice) wood doors in the new house and get some glass doors for my kitchen area.  I know finding things can take time so I am just whittling away at the problem and eventually get some results.  I hope.  I never go to Korat so I am unfamiliar with any suppliers there.  So, thanks again and welcome any further ideas about a supplier of reasonably priced doors.

notrub.  It just came to mind that if you cut out the timber, replace it with glass and still use the wooden frame.  Just a thought.  Good luck.

Nope. thanks.  the panels are a unit and cannot be altered.  I am not in a big rush.  I can wait and the new little house is some months away from completion  I just have faith that out there someplace is a supplier of exactly what I want at a price I can afford.  Just got the pool pump etc. installed and am filling pool as I write.  Good wishes to you and the blocks worked a reat.  Thank very much for that contact.  Maybe I could stop by and see how your pool project came along.  Good night.
