Lacuna Patio Doors

We give you the opportunity to choose a beautiful patio door that matches your folding doors. Our patio doors are made according to the same principles as our folding doors, ensuring top-quality craftsmanship.

MATERIAL OPTIONS

You can choose from several types of wood for your outward-opening folding door: oak, beech, and mahogany. At Lacuna, we use environmentally friendly processes in our wood treatment, making it as low-maintenance as wood/aluminium. Read more about our TMT Composite® treatment below.

TMT COMPOSITE®

TMT Composite® (Thermally Modified Timber) is the term for Lacuna’s advanced heat treatment, which we apply to beech for our folding doors. The process involves no chemicals whatsoever—only heat. After the TMT® treatment, the wood achieves durability class 1, similar to teak, and a moisture content of approximately 5.5%. This makes the modified wood highly suitable for folding doors, where dimensional stability is crucial for a tight, well-functioning product that does not require adjustment in changing weather conditions (humidity/dryness).

TMT Composite® also provides significantly better insulation, as the wood cannot absorb moisture like untreated timber. The result is a folding door built to last for many years.

MAHOGANY AND OAK

FSC-certified sapele mahogany and European oak are also available, oiled in a wide range of color tones without TMT Composite® treatment.

SURFACE TREATMENT OPTIONS

You can choose between several types of surface treatment: painted or oiled. More than 90% of our production is painted TMT beech, and we can paint in any color – including transparent UV protection for TMT Composite®. Our painting process for folding doors is similar to methods used in the automotive industry: 2 coats of primer with intermediate sanding, followed by 2–3 layers of topcoat depending on the color. This results in an exceptionally smooth and durable finish that is stronger than traditional methods used in the window industry.

PAINTED SURFACES

In line with our principles, we use only environmentally friendly, proven durable, and water-based paint products.

You can choose from a wide range of RAL and NCS colors.

For elements that are not particularly exposed, no repainting is required for the first 25–35 years.

OILED SURFACES

For oiled mahogany or oak, we use cold-pressed linseed oil, which protects the wood better than water- or turpentine-based oils.

Oiled products should be treated with oil at least 3 times during the first year to saturate the wood and reduce the risk of shrinkage cracks. After that, maintenance is recommended twice a year, depending on how exposed the element is to the weather.

We also offer a transparent UV surface treatment for sapele mahogany and oak. It functions like a painted finish, meaning the elements do not require surface treatment for the first many years.

COLOR COMBINATIONS

In modern buildings, darker frames and sashes are often used on the exterior. Inside, a lighter color—often white—is typically chosen. We can paint our folding doors in two or three color combinations, including options such as oiled mahogany combined with a white finish.

We can also apply various textured finishes as well as a clear coating, similar to a lacquer.

Examples: 1. Combination of RAL 9005/9010 2. Combination of RAL 7016/9010 3. Mahogany, combined with 9010 and linseed oil 4. Mahogany, oiled with cold-pressed linseed oil 5. Mahogany, with black-pigmented cold-pressed linseed oil 6. Oak, oiled with black-pigmented cold-pressed linseed oil 7. Oak, oiled with cold-pressed linseed oil

DIMENSIONS AND OPENING

Lacuna’s outward-opening folding doors are made to measure, from 1.5 m up to 6 m in width and with a maximum height of 2.8 m. The individual door panels can be up to 100 cm wide. Lacuna folding doors are available in configurations with 3 to 9 panels and offer many different options for the placement of the access door. For renovation and conversion projects, it is important to ensure that the building’s structure is designed for—or can be adapted to—the chosen solution.

MILLIMETER PRECISION

All processing is carried out using CNC robots with a precision of one-tenth of a millimeter.

Our quality control systems and CNC robots eliminate the risk of human error and excessive tolerances.

DESIGN DETAILS

Lacuna offers great flexibility in design, allowing you to choose freely whether you want your folding doors with or without glazing bars, with Helima bars, standard glazing bars, solid panels, or perhaps with transoms. You can choose from several glazing bar widths: 20 mm, 25 mm, 36 mm, and 42 mm, with different profile options. In addition, horizontal transoms are available in 55 mm, 75 mm, and 110 mm.

PATIO DOORS
GLAZING BARS

Lacuna manufactures several different types of glazing bars and mullions. Most of our customers choose 25 mm palace glazing bars with what we also refer to as a farmhouse profile on the interior side. This design is also available in widths of 20, 36, and 42 mm. For all widths, an interior softline profile is also available, offering a simple and modern look that matches the style of new-build homes.

All of our glazing bars are mortised into the outer frame (not bonded onto the glass) and therefore cannot fall off.

HELIMA
GLAZING BARS

As an alternative to traditional glazing bars, we also offer Helima glazing bars. These are integrated between the panes of glass, meaning there are no bars on either the exterior or interior of the door. Helima is a cost-effective option and offers a significant advantage when it comes to cleaning. The bars are available in several widths: 18, 26, and 45 mm.

GLAZING BAR SOLUTIONS

TRANSOMS /
HORIZONTAL MULLIONS

If wider glazing bars or mullions are desired, we also offer horizontal transoms in 55 mm, 75 mm, and 110 mm. These are continuous and therefore divide the glass within the door. The transoms are, of course, fully integrated into the frame design.

PANELS

Lacuna also offers panels, including flat and framed panel options. The panels are not solid but are laminated with highly insulating material to ensure optimal insulation. Panels are supplied in the same color as the rest of the door.

HINGES AND HANDLES

Lacuna products may be exposed to severe corrosion, for example in Greenland and other coastal areas, where salt content in the air can reach up to 7%. At Lacuna, we do not differentiate based on where the elements are installed. All Lacuna products are manufactured to the same high quality standards.

MADE FROM ACID-RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL

As an alternative to traditional glazing bars, we also offer Helima glazing bars. These are integrated between the panes of glass, meaning there are no bars on either the exterior or interior of the door. Helima is a cost-effective option and offers a significant advantage when it comes to cleaning. The bars are available in several widths: 18, 26, and 45 mm.

Why choose Lacuna?

Tests & Certifications

Lacuna doesn’t settle for standard testing. Our folding doors are tested at the Danish Technological Institute, in our own extreme tests, and by independent third parties abroad for moisture absorption, dimensional stability, and insulation. This ensures full documentation and helps make Lacuna folding doors the world’s most airtight.

Sustainability at the forefront

At Lacuna, care for the environment is an integral part of everything we do. Our raw materials are carefully selected, and our folding doors are developed with a focus on high insulation, reduced heat consumption, and a lower CO₂ footprint. With a Uw value of 1.0–1.2, they can help reduce energy consumption by up to 30%.

Easy installation, cost-effective fitting

Lacuna’s products combine energy efficiency, durability, and a refined finish with a revolutionary patented top-frame system. Here, the running track is integrated directly into the top frame, allowing for more precise installation, fewer materials, and an even better-looking result.
