Introducing the Alumatec ES-18 Side-Folding Accordion Door

The Alumatec ES-18 Open-Pattern Side-Folding Accordion Door is a premier yet economical security solution designed for expansive storefronts and openings where vertical space is a primary concern. Operating horizontally, this model requires no headroom or floor tracks, allowing it to glide smoothly and stack neatly to the side. Engineered with a robust 5/16" rod and 1/8" thick single link construction, the ES-18 is built to provide high-strength security without compromising on visibility or airflow.

This lightweight yet durable door is ideal for securing a wide variety of opening types—including complex curvilinear designs—and is capable of spanning widths up to 125 feet. With its refined Open Pattern Rod & Link design, the ES-18 ensures that merchandise and interiors remain highly visible even when the area is fully secured.

APPLICATIONS: Storefronts, locations with limited vertical headroom, curvilinear openings, and security environments where a clean, track-free floor is desired.
