Infinity French Doors
What are French Doors?
French doors are a type of patio door consisting of 2 main doors that open from the centre, swinging outwards or inwards. French (or ‘double’ doors) create a visually appealing aesthetic and can feature decorative detailing such as transoms (vertical bars dividing the glass panes) or decorative designs on the actual glass itself.
For those wanting a sense of openness, as well as a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, they’re the perfect choice! They’re also extremely popular in both residential and commercial settings as they can enhance the overall aesthetics of a room instantly. We’d definitely recommend taking a look at our very popular Reynaers French Doors collection if you’re in need of beautifully engineered and meticulously designed French doors that operate effortlessly.
Why is it called a French door?
The term “French door” is believed to have originated in 17th-century France and during the French Renaissance and Baroque periods when the doors were heavily popularised, particularly in the grand palaces and estates of the time. With the French being known for their long-standing tradition of fine craftsmanship and artistic expression and the doors embodying all these qualities, the name “French doors” stuck.
It’s worth noting that French doors are not exclusive to France and the name references the door’s historical association with France and the enduring popularity of French architectural design.
