The elegant French door originated in France in during the 17th century. During this time architecture and Renaissance art became popular topics, and new ideas were being adopted by style conscious homeowners throughout the country. Once such home improvement revolution was the introduction of French Doors. This trend started out as large floor to ceiling windows that would often lead out into a garden or onto a balcony, and by the end of the century the French door had crossed the channel becoming popular with UK homeowners too.
Nowadays French doors remain a firm favourite all over the country and with good reason too. If you’re considering adding character to your home with a set of French Doors from Solidor, here’s what you can expect.
