We will start by clearing up the misconception that french doors are automatically double (two) doors prehung on one door jamb (frame). A French door is simply a door with glass extending its full length. French doors can be prehung as a single or double door unit, or combined with the proper track and hardware, utilized as bifold, bypass, or pocket doors.
French doors appear to have originated in France at the latter end of the Renaissance period of art and architecture, with a growth of popularity rising in France and Germany.
A French door is also known as a French window, and refers to a door that has multiple windows set into it, the full length of the door.These windows are also known as “lites”, and are rather popular for allowing maximum light to enter and permeate a home.
Traditionally, French doors are constructed with multiple individual
sections of glass and mullions. Mullions are the dividing bars between window lites or panels. French Doors are also known as true divided lite French doors, or TDL. A true divided lite means that each pane (lite) of glass used in constructing your door is built in separately. This means that if you order a ten lite door it will be built with ten separate lites inserted independently into
their own mullions. Some manufacturers use a single lite covering the entire length of the door and then add a cheap snap in or glue on ornamental grid trying to pass it off as a true divided lite door.
French doors can also be prehung as a single or double door unit,
or combined with the proper track and hardware, utilized
as bifold, bypass, or pocket doors.
French doors not only look wonderful in all rooms, but add value to your home. With our custom doors you are giving your home character that makes it distinctly yours. French doors allow you the option of closing off a room from the rest of the house, but still allow you to have extra light coming into a room. This a compromise between the open floor plans that people want, and the need for quiet areas in the home.
