The Design Edge: Why Thin Profiles Matter
Luxury homes demand more than just beautiful design—they demand precision, performance, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Homeowners and architects alike are rethinking traditional thick-framed bifold doors in favor of slimmer, stronger, and smarter systems that enhance both aesthetics and functionality.
That’s exactly what the new AG Millworks PICO Bifold Door delivers: a minimalist 1-7/8" profile engineered to maximize glass area, preserve stunning sightlines, and maintain superior durability.
1. Sleek 1-7/8" Profile = More Glass, More View
The thinner the frame, the more room for what truly matters— the view. Traditional bifold doors often have bulky stiles and rails that interrupt your connection to the outdoors.
By contrast, PICO’s ultra-slim 1-7/8" profile creates a nearly frameless look, flooding interiors with natural light and blending spaces beautifully.
Homeowner Benefits:
- Brighter interiors with more natural light
- Uninterrupted views of your outdoor space or landscape
- Modern, minimalist appeal that elevates any architectural style
2. Concealed Hinges for a Clean, Designer Finish
No more bulky hardware disrupting your aesthetic. The PICO’s concealed hinges are hidden within the door profile, maintaining sleek, uninterrupted lines.
Architectural Advantages:
- Refined appearance ideal for modern and transitional homes
- Protected components that reduce wear and exposure to the elements
- Smooth, balanced folding motion for effortless operation
Pair these with the exterior locking shoot bolt—available on even configurations—for secure, easy locking without interrupting the design.
3. Energy Efficiency Meets Performance
Thin doesn’t mean weak. The PICO Bifold Door is engineered with thermally broken aluminum and dual-glazed Low-E glass for exceptional energy performance.
Performance Highlights:
- Low U-factor: Keeps interiors comfortable year-round
- Reduced solar heat gain (SHGC): Minimizes UV exposure and energy costs
- Weather-tight seals: Maintain insulation even in coastal or windy environments
- Meet California Title 24 regulations
This combination makes the PICO an ideal choice for homeowners looking for energy-efficient folding doors that don’t compromise on design or function.
4. Built for Indoor-Outdoor Living
When closed, the PICO Bifold provides security and insulation. When open, it transforms your space—merging the indoors and outdoors in one effortless motion.
Whether you’re entertaining on the patio, hosting family gatherings, or simply enjoying a quiet morning breeze, these doors redefine what indoor-outdoor living should feel like.
Bring Modern Precision to Your Project
The AG Millworks PICO Bifold Door isn’t just a design choice—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Every detail, from the concealed hinges to the exterior locking shoot bolt, is designed to deliver lasting beauty, security, and energy efficiency.
