Where French Doors Make the Biggest Impact

French doors work beautifully in almost any room, but certain spaces benefit more than others. Here is a room-by-room guide to help you decide where they will have the greatest effect in your home.

• Dining rooms are one of the most popular locations for French doors. Opening both leaves during a summer meal creates a wonderful flow between indoor and outdoor entertaining. Guests move naturally between the dining table and the garden, and the room fills with fresh air and natural light.
• Lounges and living rooms gain a dramatic sense of space when a window or solid wall is replaced with French doors. Even when closed, the full height glazing draws the eye outward and makes the room feel significantly larger than it is.
• Extensions and conservatories often incorporate French doors as the primary access point to the garden. They complement both traditional and modern extension styles and ensure that your new living space feels connected to the outdoors.
• Master bedrooms with French doors leading onto a Juliet balcony or small terrace gain a touch of luxury. Wake up, open both doors and enjoy fresh morning air and views across the garden or over the Tay.

How French Doors Work: Master and Slave Configuration

French doors consist of two full height door leaves. In a master and slave configuration, one leaf (the master) is your everyday door, opening and closing with a standard handle. The second leaf (the slave) is secured with flush bolts at the top and bottom and stays closed during normal use. When you want the full, wide opening, you simply release the flush bolts and swing both leaves open. This gives you the flexibility of a single door for daily use and a grand double opening when you need it.

Georgian Bars, Sidelights and Design Options

French doors do not have to be plain glass panels. Georgian bars can be added to create a classic glazing bar look that suits period properties and traditional Dundee homes. You can choose from integral Georgian bars that sit inside the sealed unit for easy cleaning, or external bars for a more authentic appearance. Sidelights can be fitted on one or both sides of the door frame to increase the overall width of the glazed area and let even more light flood into the room. For privacy, obscure or patterned glass is available, and all glazing is A+ rated double glazing as standard.

Internal and External French Doors

While most customers choose French doors as an external entrance to the garden, they also work brilliantly as internal room dividers. A pair of internal French doors between a kitchen and dining room, or between a hallway and lounge, allows you to close off spaces for warmth and privacy while still letting light pass through. When you want an open-plan feel, simply swing both leaves open and the two rooms become one.
