Built for the Trade.

BC’s only local manufacturer and installer of premium aluminum bi-fold door and window systems — a technical partner for architects, designers, and builders, not just a supplier.

Overview

Lexario Systems provides architects, designers, general contractors, renovation contractors, and glazing professionals with a locally backed solution for exterior folding door and window fabrication and installation — with local lead times, warranties, and service.

We operate a dedicated fabrication facility in Port Coquitlam, BC, designing and manufacturing Canadian-made exterior folding door systems custom to your opening size. We work directly with your team through design, fabrication, and installation so your indoor-outdoor project lands exactly as drawn.

Why Trade Professionals Work With Lexario

  • Only local manufacturer + installer in BC — not an importer. One point of contact from quote to warranty.

  • Slimmest profile on the market — more glass, less frame, for the sightlines your design calls for.

  • Concealed German hardware — clean architectural lines, no exposed hinges or tracks.

  • NAFS & CSA certified — accepted for new builds and permitted renovations, tested for BC’s coastal climate.

  • Short, local lead times — typically 2–3 weeks fabrication vs. months for imported systems.

  • Custom to rough opening — every system is fabricated to your exact dimensions, not modified from stock sizes.

  • 2-5-10 warranty program, backed and serviced locally.

The Barrier-Free System

Every Lexario system is built from independent swing panels and/or folding panel groups, configured to your rough opening — not a fixed catalog of sizes. Every Lexario system includes a door you can use every day without opening the whole thing, whether that’s a dedicated swing panel or the lead panel of a folding stack. The result: a barrier-free opening with no fixed panel and no bottom track to trip over.

Full configuration options and panel diagrams are covered on the How It Works page — link from here rather than repeating.

Technical Specifications

Material

Premium-grade aluminum, sourced from prime billets rather than remelted scrap. Finished with a high-grade local powder coating for a scratch-resistant, completely smooth surface. Concealed hardware and slim sightlines maximize your view.

Panel Sizing

Maximum door panel size: up to 3’ W × 9’ H (915mm × 2750mm) per panel.

Hardware

German-made brushed stainless lever, pull, and turn handles, plus a locking cylinder (3 keys per set). 316-grade stainless pull handles for coastal-region durability. Choice of lever/lever or lever/flat handle configuration — the latter reduces stacking width.

Glass

22.09mm insulated glass unit:

  • 3.9mm Cardinal 272 tempered, Low-E edge deleted (outboard)

  • 9/16” (14.29mm) black standard dual-seal warm-edge SuperSpacer

  • Fill: 90% Argon / 10% Air

  • Secondary seal: Fenzi Hotver+ butyl hotmelt (black)

  • 3.9mm clear tempered (inboard)

All IGUs are IGCC certified; tempered glass is SGCC certified. Manufactured to ASTM and CAN/CGSB standards.

Security

  • Twin-point locking system engaged on each panel pair.

  • Heavy-duty stainless steel hinge pins with tamper-resistant set screws.

  • Interior glass stops — eliminates deglazing risk from the exterior.

  • European cylinder lock rated against common housebreaking techniques.

  • Minimized, barrier-free threshold — no trip hazard, seamless inside-to-outside transition.

Finishes

Black and white powder coat, and split finish (black exterior / white interior), stocked with the fastest lead times. Over 200 RAL custom colours available on request (additional cost and lead time applies). Finished with Tiger Drylac® Super Durable powder coating.

Certification

NAFS & CSA certified. Tested for air, water, and structural performance to the North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for Windows and Doors.

Installation & Structural Details

For your drawings and rough-in coordination — typical head and sill assemblies shown below.

Header Detail

Typical header: LVL/glulam beam, 2×6 framing, sheathing, rain screen, finished siding.

Sill Detail

Typical sill: pan flashing, waterproof membrane, solid blocking, concrete topping, subfloor, floor joist — with barrier-free (minimized) threshold.

Full cut sheets, NAFS test reports, and thermal modelling data are available on request — gated behind a short form (name, company, email, phone) to route you to the right contact.

On Site

Every system is installed by our own crew — not a subcontracted install team. What you spec is what gets built, and what gets installed.

Working With Lexario — Three Ways to Partner

Lexario custom-fabricates every folding door and window in our Port Coquitlam shop, then supports each region through the channel that fits how you work. Pick the one that matches your book of business — or offer all three.

Supply & Install — full service

For general contractors, builders, and designers. Lexario handles the full job — measure, fabricate, and install — so you can hand your client a finished opening with nothing left to coordinate. One point of contact from quote to final walkthrough. Includes glazing, hardware, install crew, and the 2-5-10 warranty.

Supply Only — with glass

For building supply companies and window & door suppliers. Frame and panels ship fully fabricated, with glass supplied loose in the same shipment, glazed on site after the frames are hung. Built for partners who stock or resell finished product.

Supply Only — without glass

For glaziers and window & door companies with their own glass supply. Frame and panel system only, fully fabricated with hardware fitted, unglazed — built for partners who already glaze in-house.

Pricing differs by channel and by region (Greater Vancouver/Fraser Valley vs. Vancouver Island/Sunshine Coast/Okanagan) and is not published on this page — request the current partner pricing sheet for your region below.

Every Door, Every Channel

Before fabrication starts, we send a one-page elevation drawing for each opening — panel count, colour, opening/frame size, and walk-through height — for your client’s signature. Nothing gets built until it’s confirmed.

  • 60% deposit on signing to begin fabrication; 40% balance due upon completion of installation.

  • Typical fabrication: ~2–3 weeks per system after approved shop drawings. Installation: ~1 day for a standard door.

  • One dedicated point of contact from quote through warranty — no call centre, no subcontracted install crew.
