Enjoy the slightest of sightlines…
Get the most out of your view with huge expanses of glass enhanced by ultra-slim sightlines – as minute as 82mm on our OB-36+, 110mm if you choose the OB-49 profile, and 154mm on the OB-72.
Make the most of your space…
Manufactured to open inwards or outwards to a full 180°, your French Door will go as far as the brick wall will allow, so you can maximise your space and make the most of your view.
Accessible and weatherproof…
Three threshold options are available – weathered, non-weathered and mobility – which means that you can choose how you move through your French Doors.
A weathered threshold is ideal if your door is to offer a seamless link between your indoor and outdoor space – keeping the elements out with just a 1cm lip. If accessibility is a priority, our mobility threshold is also available.
If your door is to be an internal feature, then a non-weathered threshold is ideal, offering a completely flush link between your rooms.
Style with safety…
No matter which threshold option you choose, they are all designed to minimise boundaries and reduce tripping risks, and safety is taken even further with features such as finger safe gaskets and restrictor options.
Whatever space your French doors are opening onto, they can be specified to open in or out.
Accessorise to suit your look…
No matter what aesthetic your home is going for, you can choose from different handle styles, hinges and colours to suit your taste.
