Internal French Doors

What are Internal French Doors

If you thought French doors were just for the patio, think again! A French door (also known as a french window) is simply a pair of hinged double doors that open outwards. This allows you full access to the whole width of the door opening. They originate from 17th century France where they were first introduced as floor-length windows to allow access to balconies. Today, their light-enhancing qualities make them a popular choice for both the interior and exterior. 

French Internal Glazed Doors

Our glazed interior French doors allow extra light into your room and are fitted as standard with toughened glass. This ensures they meet safety standards and provide peace of mind. Internal French door pairs are available with clear and obscure glass panels in a variety of moulded and panelled designs. Clear glass is best for creating a bright living space but you might prefer the privacy of frosted glass if you opt for a French door in the bathroom or bedroom. Bevelled glass is also available on selected designs.

Choice of Materials, Colours & Styles

Our glazed internal door door sets are available in a wide range of materials and colours. The choice is yours with solid wood room dividers available in oak, hardwood or white primed. We also offer folding french door pairs to suit wider door openings. Choose from gorgeous grained oak or internal white primed doors that you can finish with a high gloss.

We have a variety of ranges of oak internal French doors, such as the Oslo, the Shaker and the Traditional. The Oslo is prefinished, the Traditional is supplied unfinished and the Shaker is available both unfinished and prefinished. Where untreated, ensure you finish your timber doors with an appropriate paint or stain. You can choose the right finish to match current flooring, furniture or worktops. Some basic woodcare will ensure your doors remain in tip top condition even when exposed to damp conditions or the dry heat of radiators. You'll also have a choice of door furniture to provide the perfect finishing touches. Choose from door handles, hinges and more.

As well as traditional French doors, we offer a frenchfold design (also known as a freefold system). This combines the benefits of both French and bifold doors. Their central opening access works like normal and is accompanied by sidelights that can be folded back to completely open up the space when you don't want a room partition. You'll get the flow between rooms just like you would with a roomfold system. This option can work well for those of you who want to enjoy open-plan living!
