About French Doors

In the 17th century in France, the French doors came into popularity. Its symmetrical design is one of the factors that French doors got their hail, which we call French doors today. French architects used to call it a window door, and they were used primarily as big sized windows.

The traditional design divides the sash into smaller glass panels. The clear and flat glass was so common at the time, but glassmakers could only make small pieces because of glassmaking limitations. And the bigger glass areas were intended to maximize natural lighting.

Soon neighbouring countries adopted this design and given credit to the French Renaissance by calling it, quite simply, “French doors”.
