This section will explain and help you determine how to open your wall for a folding sliding system.

The first thing that you need is an opening to accommodate the door. The opening must be of sound structure to allow the door to be installed correctly. Also, note that the space will require a recessed bottom sill.

​The next step is to measure your opening. This must be done from side to side and from subfloor to header. It is advisable to use a laser level to check the opening as an opening that is not level and plumb can affect your measurements and installation.
