French doors: two full-glass leaves that swing open together BOTH LEAVES SWING

How it opens

Designed around how you live.

  1. 1

    Two full-glass leaves. Each panel is nearly all glass, framed in a slim stile.

  2. 2

    They swing together. Open one for everyday use, or both for a wide, gracious opening.

  3. 3

    Sealed at the center. When closed, the leaves meet and lock against weatherstripping to resist wind-driven rain.

The good stuff

Why homeowners love French doors

A wide, welcoming opening

Swing both leaves open and the room flows straight out to the lanai, perfect for entertaining.

Light from floor to ceiling

Full-lite panels flood the room with daylight, even when the doors are closed.

Timeless character

French doors suit South Florida's transitional and Mediterranean homes especially well.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Still wondering about something? Call 954-251-0866 and talk to a real person.

Both are available. Out-swing doors are common in South Florida because wind pressure pushes them into the frame, and they don't take up interior floor space. We recommend the best option for each opening during your estimate.

Impact French doors are tested as complete assemblies, glass included, to the same HVHZ impact and pressure standards. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA for your wind zone.

Many impact French doors are available with grille patterns, and some offer blinds between the glass. Options vary by product and NOA, so we review them with you at the estimate.

They can help. Florida insurers commonly offer premium discounts when every opening is protected by impact glazing or approved shutters. We provide the NOA numbers and closed-permit documentation insurers ask for.
