French doors for brighter rooms and easier garden access
French doors use a matching pair of glazed door leaves to create a balanced opening onto a garden, patio or adjoining space. They can suit both traditional homes and more recent extensions.

Product overview
A simple pair of doors with a wide opening
French doors can bring more natural light into a room and provide a generous opening without the number of panels used in a bi-fold system. The direction of opening should be planned around furniture, patios and pathways.
Prime measures the existing aperture and discusses frame colour, handles, glazing and any side panels before quoting.
