History of French Sliding and Folding Doors

The origins of French sliding doors can be traced back to 16-17th century France when France was at war with Italy. After the victory of the French over the Italians, they brought over some Renaissance artworks and architectural ideas to France. Since the Renaissance style focuses on proportion and symmetry and places emphasis on light, the French incorporated this form and pattern on their doors. The Renaissance style focuses on proportion and symmetry and places emphasis on light, the French decided to incorporate the sliding and folding patterns on their doors. The French realised that doors built like windows (with glass panes extending for most of their length) provided a sense of regularity, proportion and illumination. The French doors were the ideal setup for the population that had yet to discover electricity. French doors and windows were seen as the perfect solution for when the house may become dimly lit. French sliding and folding doors also allow for perfect ventilation while managing to look beautiful adding to the aesthetics of a house.

Internal Doors in Melbourne

What Client Said

Internal French Doors Melbourne

French doors aren't just for external openings. Internal French doors are a popular choice for Melbourne homes looking to divide living spaces while maintaining an open, light-filled feel. Glazed internal French doors allow natural light to flow between rooms — ideal between a kitchen and dining area, or a lounge and study.

Statesman Doors supplies custom-made internal French doors in a range of timber species and glass options, including clear, frosted, and decorative glazing.

Bifold French Doors

Bifold French doors offer the elegance of traditional French door styling with the practicality of a folding panel system. When fully opened, bifold French doors create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces — perfect for Melbourne entertaining areas, alfresco dining, and rear garden access.

Our bifold French doors are custom-built to your opening width, with panel counts from 2 to 6 panels available in both timber and composite materials.

Sliding French Doors

Where space is at a premium, sliding French doors provide the classic multi-pane look without the swing clearance of traditional hinged doors. Sliding French doors are well-suited to Melbourne apartments, townhouses, and any home where floor space is valuable.
