Modern French Front Doors – Classic Symmetry, Contemporary Execution
- The French door's double-leaf, fully glazed symmetry has signalled gracious arrival for centuries. Modern French front doors keep that timeless composition and rebuild everything else: slim thermally broken aluminium replaces thick painted timber, insulated Low-E glazing replaces single panes, and multi-point hook-bolt locking replaces the old rim latch. The result reads instantly as a French door - twin leaves, generous glass, symmetrical proportions - yet performs like a modern engineered entrance system.
- SKATE builds modern French front doors with reinforced 3.0–5.0 mm sash profiles to carry full-height glass, in both leaves-active and primary-plus-standby configurations, with optional sidelights and transoms for wider, grander compositions.
