Abstract

The invention starts from a folding door. To make it possible to achieve high speeds while opening and closing the door, the invention provides that the door-forming sections (1) can be swivelled about a vertical axis (11) which is situated centrally with respect to their width extent, and the sections additionally consist essentially of plastic-foam panelling on either side. <IMAGE>
