French Doors
A classic pair, opening from the centre
French doors are two hinged leaves that meet at the centre and open wide, and they remain the most elegant way to connect a room to a garden, courtyard or terrace. In double glazed uPVC they hold the classic proportions and the option of colonial bars, while sealing and locking to a modern standard. Either leaf can be specified as the active door, and a fixed sidelight or highlight can extend the composition across a wider opening.
