Why we love French doors

They add unique style

French doors give your home a special effect: the chic design recreates the entrance door while offering greater intimacy than the patio door with less glass surface. From the very first glance, your backyard will make a great impression on your guests!

They create wide openings

Are you hesitating between a patio door and a French door? If you choose the French door, we can install two mobile doors for a wider opening than the standard model with just one movable door. A practical option when you need to get furniture in or out of your house, for example.

They show off your colours

Garden doors, with more paint surfaces than regular patio doors, give you the opportunity to show off bright colours or more neutral tones that we can prepare custom for you. It's your time to shine!
