Has anyone specified a door similar to:

But with glazing, instead of solid metal? Any help, sample specs etc would be appreciated.

Note - they are in Australia.

Ask some of the manufacturers listed in:

Use the green zip code sort button and you will have their website and phone number together to ask your questions.

We worked with Wilson on a bi-fold hangar door for a rooftop heliport and used Kalwall as the panel infill material. They were easy to work with, provided the engineering and the specifications.

We recently used a Schweiss Door: http://www.bifold.com/

...where we merely specified the door subframe, operator and supports for a project where the door panels are being independently fabricated by an artist as a donor item on a hospital project.
