Opening direction
Inward and outward opening each affect usable space, weathering and the appearance of the elevation.
Doors
French Doors
French doors offer a flexible paired opening with a familiar, enduring character for gardens, terraces and smaller openings.
Specified around your project
A simple opening, thoughtfully resolved.
French doors can feel at home in period properties and contemporary extensions alike. Opening direction, sightlines, threshold, glazing bars and the relationship with adjacent windows define the final result.
Key considerations
French doors in context.
Character
Frame profile and glazing-bar arrangement can create a restrained contemporary or more traditional expression.
Connection
Threshold and external levels should be considered around the way the doorway meets the terrace or garden.
Technical systems
Relevant systems.
