What are french doors?

Will french doors be the best fit for your next project?

French doors are a type of terrace door with two sashes that meet in the middle at a meeting rail. French doors double the opening space as a standard terrace door allowing for more significant views, a modern aesthetic, and maximum fresh air. 

How to install patio french doors?

Benefits for installers:

Peerless french doors can come with co-extruded integral trim for easy interior installation. Integral trim is a pocket on the frame's interior that allows for the installation of anchor holes in the dry zone and is covered with a simple beauty cap. Our french doors can come fully assembled and set with a glass lift. All french doors come with an easy-to-remove glass film to keep the glass clean while other trades finish their work. If there is ever an issue with broken glass, our french doors come with a dry exterior gasket to ensure interior reglazing.
