Find an option that fits your project

A familiar look. A fresh connection.

Classic proportions.
Everyday possibilities.

Picture a brighter entrance or a welcoming route to the patio. Choose the layout and details around the way you use your space.

01 / The Opening

One door or two.
A look that feels right.

Choose a single French door or a paired configuration where the system allows. Review the everyday active door, secondary door, and clear passage.

02 / Light & Privacy

Let the light in.
Keep your own style.

Compare clear, obscure, tinted, and available Low-E glass. Laminated impact glass uses a bonded interlayer to help retain the glass after impact.

03 / A Confident Close

Feel the handle.
Find your finish.

Compare handle designs and locking operation in person. Selected systems use multi-point locks; the exact hardware depends on the door and configuration.
Original illustrations show general features, not a specific model. The animation shows a paired example; French doors may have a single or paired layout. Performance depends on the complete approved system and installation.
Your home. Your combination.

Make it yours.

Down to the details.

Create a clean modern entrance or a more traditional welcome. We’ll help you compare combinations that suit your exterior and daily routine.

01

Frame & finish

Explore crisp white, dark bronze, black, and other available finishes. Selected collections also offer woodgrain looks. Compare physical samples before ordering.

Choose how much daylight and visibility you want. Ask about obscure glass, decorative designs, panel options, and Low-E packages for the selected system.

03

Layout & proportions

Consider a single door, paired doors, or a coordinated entrance with sidelights and a transom. We review the full assembly and any opening changes.

A few useful answers

Before you choose.

Find answers to common questions about French impact doors, including door configurations, swing clearance, glass options, hardware, maintenance, and replacement.
What is a French impact door?
A French door is a hinged, glazed door style that can be offered as a single door or a paired configuration. An impact-rated version combines the specified glass, frame, hardware, and installation details as a complete system. The classic glazed look can suit an entrance, patio, or garden opening.
Do both doors open in a paired French-door set?
That depends on the configuration. Some paired systems have an everyday active door and a secondary door that opens after its locking hardware is released. Other layouts include fixed panels. We confirm the operation, opening sequence, and usable passage before ordering.
Do French doors swing inward or outward?
The supported swing direction depends on the product and approval. The example series on this page include outswing systems. We review the specific configuration, handing, clearance, and threshold requirements for your opening rather than assuming both swing directions are available.
Can French doors replace my sliding patio doors?
Sometimes, after reviewing the opening, framing, threshold, and room or patio space. French doors need swing clearance that a slider does not. We assess whether a suitable approved system fits and identify any structural or finish work in the proposal.
Can I add sidelights or a transom?
Selected systems offer fixed sidelights and, in some collections, matching transoms. The whole assembly must suit the opening and approval documentation. We confirm which combinations are available for your chosen manufacturer and series.
Can I choose privacy glass, grids, or a different frame color?
These choices vary by product collection. Compare available obscure glass, tint, Low-E packages, grid patterns, and frame or hardware finishes with our team. Review physical samples when possible, since screen colors are approximate and privacy varies with the glass and lighting.
How are impact French doors checked for my Broward County home?
We review the exact configuration, dimensions, glass, hardware, design pressure, and installation against applicable High-Velocity Hurricane Zone approval documents. A product name alone does not establish suitability for every opening. Your proposal should identify the specified system and scope.
What affects the cost and installation timeline?
Door dimensions, single or paired layout, sidelights, glass, frame finish, hardware, and opening work affect the price. Product lead times, permitting, and installation scope affect the schedule. A consultation helps establish an itemized proposal. Financing options are subject to approval, eligibility, and lender terms.
