FRENCH DOORS

If you’re after a light, open feel with a touch of European charm, go French. “Commonly double doors teamed with a lever handle, French hinged doors allow easy access without the need to open an entire sliding or stacking door system,” says Christine Evans, director of marketing for Stegbar. Perfect off a bedroom, office or small courtyard, timber-framed doors with divided glass panels evoke a traditional feel. For a more modern take, opt for aluminium framing and unobstructed glass.

When making a selection, the era of your home is a good starting point; at its most basic, period buildings will suit traditional panelling, while a more streamlined version is a good choice for a contemporary home.
