French doors open up a space, and they make it look better. Whether you're separating a home office from a living room, adding an elegant garden door to your backyard, or simply bringing more light and character into your home, French doors are one of the most versatile upgrades you can make.
Interior and Exterior French Doors
Interior French Doors
Consider interior French doors if you need:
- Home office or study: Create a clear boundary without blocking light or sightlines
- Dining room separation: Add architectural character between formal and informal spaces
- Main floor bedroom or den: Privacy with a view
- Open-concept living: Zone your space without a solid wall
Exterior French Doors (Garden Access Doors)
Exterior French doors connect your indoor space to a deck, patio, or backyard. Key considerations for exterior French doors:
- Inswing vs. outswing: Outswing doors don't take up interior space, but require a covered threshold to prevent water entry. Inswing doors are easier to seal and more common in Ontario's climate.
- Energy-efficient glass: Low-E, double or triple-glazed units are standard for Ontario's heating season.

Every French door we install is custom to your home; the material, glass, colour, and hardware are all chosen by you before anything is ordered.
Material
Choose from fiberglass, steel, wood, or aluminum. Fiberglass is low-maintenance, steel is strong and insulated, wood feels warm, and aluminum gives a clean modern profile.
Color & Stain
Choose from painted finishes, wood-look stains, or custom colour matching. The right finish can help your door blend with the home or become a standout feature.
Glass
Choose from clear, frosted, full glass, divided lites, or Low-E insulated glass. Glass affects light, privacy, and energy performance, especially for exterior doors.
Hardware
Choose from knobs, levers, locksets, entry sets, or multi-point locks. Finishes like matte black, brushed nickel, and bronze complete the look and function.
