The fabric fold-up door is an architect's dream

- We spend a lot of time in the pre-study phase to make sure the door meets the real needs of the customer, says Baptiste de la Bouvrie, Technical Director of Champion Door.

Many traditional door solutions and even some fabric fold-up door types are so heavy in construction that the architect must consider their weight in the design of the entire building. The lightweight Champion Door fabric fold-up door makes the architect's practical and aesthetic dreams come true, as the building does not have to be designed on the door’s terms.
