The look of a French door without giving up floor space. Wide stiles, a true meeting rail, and panels that glide instead of swinging into the room.
A French slider borrows the proportions of a classic hinged French door, the wide stiles and the substantial meeting rail, and puts them on a sliding track. You get the traditional look without surrendering the three or four feet of floor space a swinging door needs to open.
A French slider is a hybrid, and it has to be specified like one. Traditional proportions on modern hardware.
Low-E coatings with a low SHGC, argon fill, and warm-edge spacers. Simulated divided lites are available if you want the traditional grid pattern carried through the glass.
The width of the stile and the meeting rail is what makes this read as French rather than as a plain slider. We show you the profiles side by side so the proportion is a decision, not an accident.
Wider stiles mean heavier panels. Tandem stainless rollers and a properly pitched track are not an upgrade here. They are what keeps a heavy panel gliding in year ten.

The proportions. A standard slider uses narrow stiles to maximize glass. A French slider uses wide stiles and a substantial meeting rail so it reads as a traditional French door. The track and the operation are the same idea; the look is not.
Floor space. A hinged pair needs a clear arc to swing into, which rules out furniture near the door. A French slider gives you the same visual language and takes zero floor space to open.
A little, and that is the trade. You are buying the proportion. If maximum glass is the priority, a standard slider or a three-panel door is the better call, and we will tell you so.
Yes. Simulated divided lites carry the traditional pattern through the glass without the maintenance of true divided lites. We will show you the grid options at the estimate.

Book My Free ConsultationSame crew, same warranty. The right door depends on how much floor space you can give up and how much glass you want.
The real thing. Both panels swing away and the entire opening clears, which no slider can do. It needs room to swing.
The standard slider. Narrow stiles, maximum glass, and the most view per dollar of any door we install.
Three panels for a wide opening. A large fixed center pane with sliding flankers, or a stacking setup for a wider clear walkthrough.
