Custom French Patio Doors (Guide)

Sliding patio doors represent the standard rear door and living room entry in many homes in North America. While these doors can increase a room’s natural light, other trade-offs exist. In most cases, only one side of the sliding door is functional, which reduces the size of the opening. Additionally, these doors are often heavy and prone to slipping off their rails. As a result, they can be difficult to open or close until they are rehung.

Traditional double French patio doors offer better space utilization and are often set on pivots or hung on hinges to offer a more secure and convenient opening. With custom French patio doors, homeowners and architects can benefit from French patio doors for even the most unique designs or space requirements.

The Possibilities of Custom French Patio Doors

Custom French patio doors from The French Steel Company can match any vision for a home or commercial property—from wide single doors to French double doors with floor-to-ceiling window panes to ultrawide double doors flanked by pivot-mounted bifold doors, allowing almost the entire wall to be open to the patio.

Additionally, our custom French patio doors offer a range of steel and glass customization options for French patio doors.

Custom French Patio Door Glass and Steel Options
	Matte Black Classic matte black steel doors match any style, from ornate and traditional to modern and streamlined.		Glacier Glacially clear glass offers clear views of the outdoor environment from climate-controlled interior comfort.
	Brushed Pewter Brushed Pewter finishes create a strong aesthetic in any home, projecting the strength and security of steel.		Monumental Glass with a monumental finish maintains privacy while allowing natural light. Perfect for patio doors that may face the street.
	Dark Pewter Dark pewter brings the sober look of black steel doors while subtly allowing the frame to fade into the background.		Aquatex More subdued than monumental or pear glass finishes, aquatex softens outlines and offers privacy while allowing some view.
	Antique Copper Antique copper offers a timeless look that matches traditional Mediterranean styles and provides an upscale character to commercial property.		Pear Glass Pear glass is a traditional privacy glass that creates impressionistic views of the exterior environment.
	Oil Rubbed Bronze Oil-rubbed bronze can match various styles, from traditional to modern and ultramodern.		Rain Rain-finished glass brings strong vertical lines to patio doors and window panes that contrast elegantly with bold horizontal lines.
	Dark Bronze Dark bronze brings warmth to any style of black steel or bronze while offering additional depth that can make it a great choice for homes.		Sandblasted Sandblasted glass softly diffuses light with minimal effect on the view. If custom patio doors overlook a reflective surface like a pool, this glass can help reduce glare.
