Can French doors be custom made?
Yes! Infinity custom builds each and every swinging patio doors to perfectly fit your home. We use Ultrex® fiberglass for our French doors for timeless style and durability. Choose from 1, 2, or 3-panel swinging French doors. Or, you can pick a sliding French door that can span 4-panels wide and 16-feet.

Innovative French door designs
French doors either have one door that swings open or two doors that open. The difference in visual style between French doors vs. sliding glass doors is French doors have a wider bottom rail. The wider bottom rail provides a bolder look. Two-panel French doors will open from the middle where the doors meet. A 3-panel French door has an extra door that will not open. You can design custom looks by adding windows around French doors.

Inswing French doors
The advantage of inswing French doors is they’re easy to open in climates that experience snow in the winter. Another advantage is they open and close quick to help prevent cold air from escaping in warm climates. Inswing French doors have large glass panels to capture the outdoor views you love. Infinity Inswing French Doors can include up to 3 panels to maximize views and natural light.

Outswing French doors
Outswing exterior French doors swing open toward the outdoors. They have appeal because they don’t take up interior space with their swing path. Infinity Outswing French Doors can also extend to 3 panels and open from the middle.

Add extra windows
Windows above a double French door create a unique French door design. You can add a transom window above a French door to add natural light and expand views. You can also use flanking windows, or sidelites, with French doors to extend outdoor sights. Sidelites invite more illuminating sunlight into your home.
For more creative looks consider arch windows with double swinging doors. Arch windows above French doors form a custom look that adds more appeal. Likewise, special shape windows can pair perfect above French for exciting designs.
