ABSTRACT:
A fascia assembly for folding doors particularly for bifold doors, uses an elongated fascia element spanning the doorway in which the doors are installed, the element being freely suspended by a hinge from a support mounted to the top of the doorway adjacent a track, which guides the door during its folding movement, for swinging movement about an axis parallel to the track so that it may pass above the tops of the doors. The fascia element has sufficient vertical extent to span from the top of the doorway to and beyond the tops of the doors, and is mounted to that side of the doors facing the direction in which they open. As the doors open, the fascia element can swing upwards out of the way of the doors. Conveniently, both the fascia element and the support are elongated elements of constant cross-section and the hinge is formed by interlocking edge portions of these two elements.
