We've all heard of the term French door, but what is French about them? It really boils down to the style of door that it actually is, although the French doors we are used to in the United Kingdom, are a little different to the traditional French doors.
Traditionally, French doors from France tend to be double hinged, so that they can open either outwards or inwards depending on the design of the room. Open French doors provide full access to the width of their opening, unlike some single doors that usually take up extra space.
French doors are often named for their appearance, which includes a frame with divided glass panes taking up the majority of the door area, much like French windows. While the windows are an excellent option for viewing into the backyard or patio, they are also an excellent source of natural light for the home; therefore, the French doors have a similar effect.
There are standard-sized French doors for more traditional doorway openings, as well as bespoke French doors that accommodate a more unique space. We can also custom build the glazing unit of the French doors, to best suit your home.
French doors can lead from one room to another or from inside to outside the house. French doors are a favourite option when they lead out into a garden, particularly onto a patio or decked area, but they are also very popular for their ability to open up the interior of a home too.
French doors are a firm favourite with so many of our customers and for some very good reasons.
French doors make any home look and feel more open and less claustrophobic. French doors simply create the impression of a larger house, because of their width. It's like having a double doorway, without a double frame to clutter things up. French doors are particularly popular additions to apartments, as space is often at a premium in these sorts of dwellings. With large glazing panels, the added natural light and increased visibility prevents the door from feeling or looking like a barrier between rooms or the outside world.
French doors can be fitted as interior or exterior doors. They can separate a living room from a dining room without making either feel small or closed in, and when opened, they make the adjoining rooms seem like they are one, opening up your home and offering far more flexibility and space. French doors can also make the transition between your indoor spaces to your patio feel seamless. French doors seem to offer you an extension to your interior space.
French doors are also beautiful to look at too. This fact improves the look of your home, adding kerb appeal and value, should you be thinking of selling.
French doors can be easily altered to allow you to create a unique look for your property. Different styles of French doors are available to suit the age and look of your property style. Old or modern, French doors will give whatever style of property you have look unique.
French doors permit huge amounts of natural light to flood into your home or between rooms. This not only looks good, it saves you money on lighting bills and gives you an increased sense of well being too.
French doors require a little more space to open than most doors as their hinges allow them to fully open up to the space of the frame. However, what you end up with is a large, beautiful and thoroughly functional door solution to enhance your property.

Datchworth is a lovely little village between the towns of Hertford, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City. Datchworth is located on the Roman road from St Albans to Puckeridge, the village has examples of Saxon clearings in several locations. Datchworth has a village green where two pubs, The Plough and The Tilbury and a sports club are located. There are three other pubs in the parish, The Horns at Bulls Green, The White Horse at Burnham Green and Three Horse Shoes at Hooks Cross.
The name Datchworth is thought to originate from a Saxon lord named Daecca, which is pronounced Datcher, who settled in the area around the year 700 AD. The 'Worth' part of the name comes from the word Wyrthe, which means enclosure.
Datchworth was occupied long before 700 AD. There are two large Belgic sites, only one of which has been partly investigated. Much of the parish boundary still follows the old Belgic ditches.
The arrival of the Normans gave Datchworth a written record in the Domesday Book. This included an account of the occupants and land values in the 11th century.
Still situated on the eastern side of Datchworth Green is the whipping post. Its last recorded use was on 27 July 1665 when two beggars were publicly flogged. Stocks stood near the post too, but these have long since gone. The stocks are thought to have been removed in 1899, although some stocks remain close to the All Saints Church.
During the Second World War the last enemy action incident of any kind on British soil occurred on 29 March 1945 when a V-1 flying bomb struck a nearby field.
