French Doors

French doors originated in France during the 17th century Renaissance period, a fashionable response to the need for more light and open space in a home. Symmetrical and with regular proportions, French doors rapidly became used for exterior doors and for openings onto small Juliette balconies.

Referred to as ‘porte-fenêtre’ in France, which translates as window-door and means they are literally over-sized open-out casement windows. Hence our term, French doors!

French Doors

French doors are still very popular today and are an ideal choice if you don’t have a large opening in the wall which lends itself to sliding or bi-fold doors. They can be used with or without side lights and, although they generally open out, it is perfectly possible to choose open in options depending on your indoor and outdoor space.

A multi-point locking system is fitted as standard and tested to PAS 24 and upgradeable to Secured by Design specification if required. Glazing options are available to cover optimal insulation, solar gain and acoustic dampening qualities in either a double or triple glazed format. A choice of designs can be specified, all with a choice of 3 Part M low thresholds. A wide range of single, dual-colour and anodised finishes are available.
