    What is a French door?

    This continental door style features a set of two glass door panels that allow light to flood into your home. Even when inside, you can enjoy admiring your garden with this elegant back door solution and have the feeling of being outside all year round. Both doors can be inward or outward opening to maximise the space in your home and garden. Originating in 17th century France, they were used to lead out onto balconies. Nowadays, they can become doors to your garden or even a conservatory.

    Add a bespoke style without compromising on home security

    French doors flawlessly blur the lines between your garden and home and can also be incorporated into a conservatory design. Most commonly placed at the rear of a property, this is a more vulnerable area for unwanted intruders as it's less visible.
