French doors are a pair of hinged glass doors that swing open together. They give a wide opening and a classic look. Colorado Glass & Mirror installs Milgard and Pella French doors across Denver and replaces the glass or the whole door and frame, depending on the condition of your opening.
French Doors for Denver homes
Two hinged panels open from the center for a wide clear opening, which suits patios, dining rooms and rooms that open onto a deck. Glass panels bring in daylight, and divided lite styles add a traditional look. They need room to swing, so we check furniture and railings before choosing them.
See all door stylesWhich replacement fits your french door?
Older French doors can sag, leak at the threshold or lose their seal. Sagging and water damage at the sill point to a full frame replacement so we can repair the framing and flashing. If only the glass has fogged, an IGU replacement may solve it. We inspect first and quote the option that fits.
Full-frame replacement
Replaces the door and frame down to the opening. Best for rot, drafts, water damage at the sill or a layout change.
IGU replacement
Replaces only the sealed glass unit in a door panel or sidelite. Best for fogged or cracked glass when the door and frame are sound.

French Doors questions answered
Do French doors need more room than sliding patio doors?
Yes. French doors swing into or out of the room, so you need clear space for the panels to open. Sliding doors stay in the track and save that space. We measure the opening and the area around it, then recommend the style that fits.
Why is my French door sagging or leaking at the bottom?
Hinges can loosen over time, and water at the threshold can rot the sill and framing. Adjusting the hinges helps in mild cases. Rot or a warped frame calls for a full frame replacement. We inspect the sill and flashing before we quote.
Can French doors be made with energy efficient glass?
Yes. We install Milgard and Pella doors with Low-E glass, and a proper install seals the frame and threshold. Ask us about your glass options during the free measure and we will explain what each one does for comfort and light.
