Timeless Elegance with a Wide, Welcoming Opening
European Double French Doors for Patios, Decks and Gardens
French doors are a pair of hinged glass doors that open from the centre, with no fixed post in the middle. Open both doors and you get a wide, unobstructed entrance to your patio, deck or garden that is perfect for entertaining, moving furniture and letting in fresh air. Close them and the slim frames and large glass panes fill the room with natural light.
ANKA French doors combine this classic look with modern European performance: multi-chamber uPVC profiles, high-performance glazing and multi-point locking hardware. They suit both traditional and contemporary Calgary homes, and they seal and insulate far better than standard sliding patio doors.
How European French Doors Work
A French door has two leaves. The active door opens with the handle for everyday use. The second, passive door stays locked in place until you release it, then both doors swing fully open for a wide entrance with no centre post.
• Wide, unobstructed opening when both doors are open
• Inswing or outswing options to suit your deck, balcony or patio layout
• Optional tilt and turn function on the active door for secure ventilation without opening the door
• Optional door stays that hold the door open at any angle
• Low threshold options for an easy, step-free entrance
• Custom sizes, colours, glass and grille styles, with fixed sidelites or transoms
Perfect for dining rooms, living rooms and primary bedrooms that open onto a patio, deck or garden.
Energy Efficient French Doors Built for Alberta Winters
Classic Style, Modern Insulation and Airtight Seals
Many standard French doors are drafty where the two doors meet. ANKA European French doors are built like our windows: when you lock them, both doors are pulled tight into continuous compression gaskets on every side, including the centre meeting point, so warm air stays in through -30°C Calgary winters.
• Multi-chamber uPVC profiles that insulate the frame and both doors
• Steel reinforcement that keeps tall doors straight and the seals tight
• Continuous compression gaskets around the frame and at the centre meeting point
• High-performance double-pane glass, with triple-pane available
• Insulated, weather-sealed threshold to stop drafts at floor level
The result is a warmer, quieter home, less condensation and lower heating bills in every season.
Security, Installation and Peace of Mind
Multi-Point Locking for Superior Security
- Multi-point locking on the active door engages several locking points along the frame with one turn of the handle, not just a single latch
- The passive door is secured into the head and sill with shoot bolts, so both doors are locked tight
- Steel security strikers and reinforced frames resist prying and forced entry
- Lockable handle options for added safety and child protection
- Locking pressure also tightens the seals against wind, rain and drafts
