French doors
in a balanced pair

French doors use a pair of leaves to create a shared opening. Before choosing a style, check which way the doors could swing, what space exists on each side and which leaf is likely to be used most often. Furniture, garden paths and nearby walls all affect how comfortable the opening is in daily use.

Think about the view with both doors closed and the route when one or both leaves are open. The proportions of the frame, the centre meeting line and any glazing divisions shape the appearance. A photograph taken straight-on helps Kaizen understand the opening; a second image showing the room and garden provides context for how the doors should work.

Kaizen lists French doors among its current products. The available frame material, finish, glazing and opening configuration should be confirmed for your project. If you are also comparing patio or bi-fold doors, describe the kind of access you need so the team can discuss which product styles are relevant.

Photograph the full opening, including the wall on each side, any existing side glazing and the floor or threshold. Note whether you are replacing existing French doors or creating a new route, and explain how the opening is used today. If you have a preferred leaf arrangement, include it as an idea to discuss rather than a fixed specification.

Ask Kaizen to confirm which door configuration, material, finish and hardware are available and what the fitting scope includes. Add your location so the team can check whether it serves the address. A clear description of the space helps turn a first enquiry into a useful conversation about the pair that belongs there.

A pair of doors should make sense from both sides of the opening. Photograph the room and garden, then mark the leaf you expect to use most often and the direction each one could open. Include any narrow path or nearby furniture in the image. This gives Kaizen useful context when confirming the door arrangement, clear route and hardware for the proposed pair.
