hi all, i was being quoted RM5,000 for a 7'x7' powder coated aluminium folding glass door. is this price reasonable? normally how do they calculate? by sqft?

yes, they calculate by sqft. depends on which frame/glass/imprint/tint that you choose.

the previous rate i know from homedec by honglee is 75/sf that was in oct-nov.

You need to know what is the quality, thickness of glass, thickness of aluminum, Lock, hinge.. All this make price so much difference. From RM 30++ to RM 100++ / square feet.

How about the quality and the strenghten? Since the frame is aluminium holding the glass and always sliding moving, the toughness and strengthen need to be strong. And the locking device too.

Well if quality is your priority then go for the brand Fujisash.
Solid construction with cleverly concealed hinges, exceptional
sound proofing, minimal air/odour transfer and water sealed.
Its Japanese technology with a factory in Butterworth and a sales/
marketing office in SS23 Tmn SEA PJ.

I nearly opted for Fascina which is Upvc construction but decided to
go for Fujisash due to the savings. Nearly 65k was spent on folding/
sliding doors & windows for my hse reno.....no regrets.

Is it including installation?

RM65k ! I will regret.

I intruduce by a Japanese salesman about their YKK folding doors and windows. Famous and common in Japan. The windows and door look tough and the parts look different from ordinary folding door.

Eh... I thaught YKK is famous of their zip.

Many type of folding spread malaysia market which alot of it is self modified just to save costing.(try modified a kancil become BMW 5 series then u know what i mean)Aluminium brand name like Fujisash and LB are most practical all time and the most important is free maintenance.While installer with superb quality finishing is like Premium window, Le diament i saw before their job is like this ( but aint cheap) So choose wisely ask from your installer what kind of aluminium they using and what kind of roller,lockset,hinges and flush butt.Good luck
Price range 30 to 80 per sqft might get you modified thing while 100 to 180 per sqft will get you nice quality folding door.

what's the actual size? thinking of doing something similar.

can share where you get this? currently looking for sliding door to replace the current one, any website for your door supplier?

I was quoted Onitek sliding door for my Kitchen Base Aluminium Sliding Door 2 x 4 fts RM450
Bathroom folding door RM330
And a dark tinted Aluminium sliding window RM450 with hole for ventilation fan.
expensive?

I saw the aluminium glass door at homedec - reliance home and sun way aluminium. Definitely sun way was better, very solid. The price from sun way is rm100 per sqft, and rm120 per sqft if painted like wood grain. I was quoted by my contractor for rm160 per sqft for LB aluminium. Not sure what is the difference.

Guys i like the big folding door like some poster above have shown. It give a lot of natural lighting and when open up can give spacious kind of feeling. However my concern is on security. It will be ugly to grill the big door and it beats the purpose of having unobstructed view to my garden. Any suggestions how do you guys overcome the security issues?

Hi,
Does anybody have a security comparison between Fujisash and AMAX (316 stainless steel mesh door from Australia). I'm interested in getting a security door to replace my glass aluminium door. I don't want to put in a grille (it'll look very ugly).

I've not been able to get any reliable information on Fujisash at all, but AMAX was in the recent home fair in Sunway and I'm planning to visit their showroom in Kota Damansara soon.

Fujisash, contact SKB Shutters located in Kota Dsara
