Heritage Internal French Doors

Our Heritage-style internal French doors are black, glazed double doors that echo the style of traditional steel doors often found in UK factories at the turn of the 20th century. They have the same slim frames as steel doors, with large glass panels to let natural light flow between your rooms.

Though this style was often seen in steel windows or exterior doors, industrial-style doors were often featured internally as well, breaking up large open spaces.

These interior doors also feature a black grid pattern across their glazing. In the original steel door style this was a necessity as glass couldn't be manufactured strong enough for large panes. Today, the black 'mullion' design of Heritage steel look internal doors is a style choice, as the toughened glass in their glazing is strong and secure.

The distinctive look of our Heritage style internal French door range makes them an attractive choice, especially if you want your doors to be a prominent feature of your interior design. Picking the heritage style is an easy choice, but it can be harder choosing between Frenchfolding, bifold doors or French double doors.

Internal Heritage French doors offer a much smaller opening than folding doors, which makes them a great choice for rooms where you need to keep some separation or you don’t have the wall space to accommodate larger doors.                                                          

Many people choose to install them between playrooms or home offices and larger living spaces like lounges or kitchen diners. This helps the smaller rooms feel bigger but keeps the option to shut them off when the bigger room is busy and you need calm.

A good rule of thumb is to set your French doors so that they open out into the bigger room. However, if you're struggling for space in both rooms, you could always consider our Heritage-style bifold doors that fold away to the side.

When it comes to French doors, the way they open matters. The natural light flow created by their glass panels makes them a great choice to help smaller rooms feel bigger, but they can also be obstructive in that space if they open into it.

If you're looking for a multi-leaf Heritage-style door for your home, an interior French door set is your cheapest option.

This is partly because they open on hinges, making them lower cost to manufacture than other types of room dividers such of bifolds which require a running track. They also offer smaller size options, with only two doors which again minimises manufacturing costs.

Their size also makes them cheaper to install. Although we still recommend hiring a professional joiner to install French Heritage doors (to ensure they are plumb and trimmed to size), they are a lot quicker to put in place. This will lower labour costs too.
