During opening, the shutter leaves fold together and, in the open position, remain in a V-shape in front of the fa\u00e7ade or wall. At Baier, this principle is used both for architectural solar shading and for movable room closures.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Structurally, a Lifting-folding-Shutter generally consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Frame\/leaf system (2-leaf)<\/li>\n<li>Infill or cladding<\/li>\n<li>Fittings and hinge technology<\/li>\n<li>Guide system and drive (manual or motorized)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Important for building owners and planners: A Lifting-folding-Shutter is generally not a standard off-the-shelf product, but a custom-made solution.
