Your Bi-Fold doors deserve a quality handle set, says Coastal Group Bi-Fold doors are an extremely popular choice with homeowners, flooding homes with natural light, increasing the feeling of space and providing a seamless link between indoors and outdoors. Hardware manufacturer Coastal Group outline the importance quality handles play in creating an exceptional look, feel and function of Bi-Fold doors. Coastal’ s KM115 is carefully designed to capture the feeling of quality sought after by manufacturers and installers on the folding leaves of their Bi-Fold systems. Its slimline design partners with contemporary elegance, exceptional useability, and reliable performance. Key features of the KM115 include: • Manufactured from solid 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel for durability. • Its ergonomic grip combines with the spring function to enhance the feel and performance of the user. • Euro profile cut-out for use with lockable leaves. For projects not requiring a euro profile, Coastal also offer the KM100 Bi-Fold flat door handle, showcasing the same impressive performance benefits as the KM115. Coastal highlight another key benefit of their Bi-Fold handle offering - the capability to match the style and finish of handles on both the traffic door and folding door leaves. All handles are part of Coastal’ s flagship BLU range, meaning they are manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel. With the function of Bi-Fold doors being open regularly, handles are often left exposed to the various atmospheric pollutants that cause corrosion, especially prominent in coastal areas and on installations around swimming pools. Also known as Marine Grade, 316 Stainless Steel is the recommended material for hardware in these applications.
