URBN works directly with homeowners, builders, developers, and contractors, creating a more reliable and personalized experience from quote to installation.
We understand the challenges homeowners and contractors face, when trying to find the right installer for your folding doors & screens.
We eliminated that concern by including guided installation with your URBN Patio door's purchase. Not through manuals or videos, but in person. An URBN technician on site to guide your installer.
By having an expert on-site supporting the installer from day-one. URBN provides confidence, prevents unnecessary issues and delivers what everyone wants: a smooth installation, a satisfied contractor, a happy customer, and doors that perform as they should.
The result?
Complete trust with your purchase and peace of mind long after the installation is complete.
Unlike traditional bifold doors, our folding door system is composed of individual panels that slide, fold and stack without the use of traditional hinges.
You choose how your space breathes and flows: open a single panel, several panels or the entire wall. Whether you are embracing a full open indoor-outdoor lifestyle, inviting a gentle breeze or guiding the natural movement of a gathering, the system adapts effortlessly to the moment.
Designed with modular flexibility for everyday living, it offers comfort and usability not just in summer, but all year long.
Zero Thermal Bowing:
Unlike traditional aluminum doors that can warp under extreme temperature changes. URBN’s specially engineered core helps resist heat transfer, maintaining smooth operation, structural alignment, and long-term performance in all climates.
Advanced frame sealing technology with clean modern lines:
Encased glass units, interlocking panels, and integrated weatherstripping work together to create a tighter seal while allowing for slimmer modern profiles and expanded glass areas for maximum views and an enhanced indoor-outdoor experience.
Energy efficient glass units:
Our standard glass package features a U-Value of 0.28 and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.22, with double-glazed Low-E 366 tempered glass units filled with Argon gas on every door.
Independent sliding panels glide smoothly along the track and are intentionally designed to release only at the stacking point near the main door.
Once positioned in the release-stack area, as shown in the video, the concealed handle engages the patent-pending release system, allowing each panel to swing and stack smoothly with minimal effort. This controlled operation helps maintain panel alignment, smooth operation and seal integrity over time.
The result is a folding door system engineered for effortless everyday usability without compromising performance, security, structural alignment, or seal integrity.
Unlike traditional top-hung folding doors that place substantial weight on the header, URBN’s bottom-rolling system transfers the load directly to the floor track below.
This intelligent approach can help reduce structural reinforcement requirements, simplifying project planning while minimizing the need for additional engineering modifications, inspections, and costly structural upgrades.
By supporting the panels from beneath, the system is designed to deliver smoother operation, enhanced stability, and refined long-term performance for modern indoor-outdoor living.
Unlike other independent-panel door systems that can drift or swing closed with a light breeze, URBN’s patent-pending hold-open hardware helps keep panels securely positioned at a stable 90-degree angle while open.
This thoughtfully engineered system creates a smoother and more controlled opening experience by helping minimize unwanted panel movement and panel-to-panel contact during everyday use.
A smart lock let's you access your home, your way:
• Smartphone Access — Lock and unlock virtually from anywhere.
• Personalized Code Access — Create and share unique entry codes.
• Key Fob Access — Convenient access always within reach.
• Fingerprint Reader — Effortless entry at your fingertips.
• Integrated safety features including programmable alerts and notifications.
From inside, a simple push of a button unlocks the door instantly.
We also offer manual locking options.
With independent panels that glide along a single track and fold within the main door footprint, the system requires minimal space to operate.
Unlike traditional bifold doors that require a wide zig-zag clearance, URBN’s independent panel system helps preserve valuable floor space, allowing furniture and living areas to remain comfortably positioned closer to the opening.
The result is a cleaner and more efficient layout designed to maximize comfort, flexibility, and usability — from expansive indoor-outdoor spaces to compact balconies and modern urban living.
We love folding doors! They transform everyday living spaces into serene; welcoming places filled with natural light and open views to the outdoors. A glass wall that slides away, instantly removing boundaries.
There is something incredibly freeing about opening an entire wall and feeling one with the vastness of the world outside. Our homes feel brighter, fresher, more alive. And we see ourselves enjoying quiet mornings or happy gatherings naturally connected with family and friends.
Finding the right folding door should feel exciting, not stressful. Yet costly upgrades, expensive structural modifications, complicated installations, and limited manufacturer support often turn the process into a frustrating and time-consuming experience.
We knew there was a way to do better!
That opportunity came when we were introduced to the patent-pending design of one of the industry’s recognized folding door innovators, A. Rees, creator of the Panoramic Door system. A new independent-panel folding door, designed and engineered in 2024, for high thermal performance, effortless operation, smart technology, and easier installation.
URBN’s concept stems from 56 years of combined experience in engineering, manufacturing, installation, testing, sales and real-world problem-solving in the door industry.
With one simple mission:
To provide a beautiful, high-performance folding door that more people can afford, backed by real support from real people who stay involved from ordering to installation. We chose to stay local and work directly with our customers, so every project receives the personal attention, accountability, and reliable service they deserve.
Because at the end we are not providing just a door. We are providing a lifestyle experience. Nothing makes us prouder than watching a home or business transform the moment an URBN door opens, and seeing the excitement on the owner’s face when they realize their vision has become a reality.
