I am an Architect in SmithGroup's Washington DC office and we are working on a large-scale museum project in Richmond VA. We have 19' tall folding wall we would like to integrate into our curtainwall system. The glass within these folding panels will potentially be curved glass. This folding wall would happen in two locations in our project. We also have a loading dock we would like to screen with metal wall comprised of fluted panels and gates seamlessly integrated for easy access. Would someone from your team be available to discuss this with us? Please contact me as soon as possible as this is quite urgent. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm Timothy, an architect with Smithgroup. We are working on a Museum in Madison Wisconsin, Wisconsin History Museum and would like to get a quick meeting with you to a loading dock door that we are designing. We are thinking a 12' wide by 12' tall bi-fold door that is clad with a higher end metal... Could someone send me a rep to get in contact with. If possible, we'd like set up a call sometime next week. Thanks

I am looking for a bifolding Liftstrap designer door for the front door to Museum of Art in Tampa. It needs to match the adjacent metal panel wall and blend in with the surrounding elevation. Could you please provide a recommendation for best product to use and pdf with drawings/details for review? The opening is 14' wide x 18" tall. We would like to understand what is required for: 1. Door head clearances, motorized or manual operation, equipment dimensions, etc. 2. Jamb clearances and requirements 3. Structural support requirements 4. How would you recommend we attach the metal panel system (which is used typically on the rest of the building facade) to the door panels - what are door panels made of? 5. What safety mechanisms are available for pedestrian protection, warnings that doors are opening/closing, emergency retraction (in case a person is walking under the closing door, is there any safety mechanism) And any other information you think useful. Thank you, Marianne Lau

Hi, I am working on a renovation project where we are thinking about using bi-fold museum doors and I had a very broad stroke question. The doors look like they are supported by a steel frame.

I will need to engage my structural engineer but I am unclear as to what extent. Can you provide some basic guidance on the "engineering" of the museum doors? Thanks, Dan

Project currently in design stage, we are looking at options and I remember seeing these doors at the Children's Museum in Boston during a visit several years ago. Are there any museum doors installed in the Atlanta Metro area we would be able to look at? Something more in the public areas, not private residential. Looking to match with the building skin/configuration so the museum doors are as 'invisible' as possible. I would be able to provide more information, in the form of Sketchup model, CAD drawing (elevation) or other. So it is going to basically be a glass (storefront type) with possibility of some stucco panels as used in the lobby level of the project. the loading dock door is one level below due to grading (about 10%) at the street level along the front of the project. Thanks.
