Sliding Hangar Doors
Sliding hangar doors an efficient way to provide access to the front of a hangar building. This type of aircraft hangar doors uses tracks and offers wide access to the building. They can be customised to fit large openings and are particularly effective when used in high traffic environments. Our sliding doors are engineered to be reliable and operate in challenging conditions.
Insulated Doors
For hangars that require climate control or energy efficiency, insulated sliding doors are excellent choice, as these doors feature insulation materials that help to regulate temperature, making them ideal for facilities housing sensitive equipment. The insulation also contributes to noise reduction, which is particularly beneficial with nearby residential areas. We ensure that our insulated bi-folding doors meet high standards of thermal performance.
Folding Doors
Folding doors offer a solution that combines the benefits of space-saving design with robust construction. These doors fold back in sections, creating a large opening that facilitates easy access for multiple aircraft simultaneously. Insulated folding doors are particularly suitable for varied hangar layouts and can be tailored to meet architectural requirements.

Sliding & Folding Door FAQs
How do bifold hangar doors work?

Their construction ensures durability, making them an ideal choice for facilities that require reliable and efficient hangar doors.

Hangar doors can range from 4 to 12 metres in height, with some locations featuring doors that are taller. It is essential to consider the dimensions of the aircraft, including wingspan and tail height when choosing door size.
