Here at Dwell, we’ve long championed a connection to the natural world as a hallmark of a well-designed space—think panoramic views, abundant natural light, and barely-there doors that blur the line between outdoors and indoors. 

"Open-concept living improves the way people feel in their home," says Tim Kelting, senior director, PLM, and general manager at LaCantina Doors, a manufacturer of large-format door systems. "By opening living spaces, you allow natural light and fresh air to flow through the home, and increase the feeling of openness and overall comfort in your home." 

With LaCantina’s all-new V2 Folding Door, all it takes is a little push to embrace open-concept living and the healthier, happier lifestyle that comes with it. 

LaCantina’s new V2 Folding Door deepens your home’s connection to the outdoors with ultra-thin frames, larger glass panels, and concealed hardware.

In comparison to sliding doors—specifically multi-slide doors—a folding door system, like LaCantina’s V2, stacks to the exterior, allowing residents to soak in their surroundings without optical distractions like fixed panels. "Folding doors allow you to open space like no other product can," explains Kelting. "They create much larger openings than a traditional French or swing patio door." 

By creating larger, unobstructed openings, folding doors help create a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
