French Style Closet Doors Let Light Filter In

French style closet doors are one of the most elegant forms of closures available. They are great for brightening a room and allow light to filter through the glass that each French door features. Some of these do not have glass but panels of either raised or flat wood for the window lites instead. Although they do not allow for light to filter through they are still French style nonetheless. One example of this is with the True Divided Lite French Doors with Wood Mullions from interiordoors.com. They are available in six different finishes and five different styles. The prices will greatly depend on the dimensions, materials and design you choose.

Some French style closet doors are bifold doors. This means that they consist of at least two separate doors that are hinged in the middle and slide on a track that is usually mounted on the top door jamb. One instance of this type of door is the Pinecroft 725 Series 30” x 80-1/2” Unfinished Classic French Glass Bifold Door from amazon.com. These are pine doors with 1-3/8-inch full thickness and true divided lite tempered glass. They cost $240.38 and are a perfect replacement for doors in a pantry or laundry closet. This style of folding doors saves on space when a closet is positioned in a small room.

Many of the French style closet doors are unfinished. This makes them the perfect candidates for the stain or paint of your choice. The Pinecroft 719 Series 36” x 80-1/2” Unfinished Glass Over Panel Tuscany Bifold Door found on homedepot.com features bifold doors with one window lite in each panel. They come unfinished, ready for you to paint or stain them the color you choose and are $333.00 per door. These are a very modern door with a contemporary style that will go with any décor in your home. Different retailers may have different pricing schemes so check with local retailers for pricing information.

One of the best ideas for French style closet doors is the use of mirrored doors. Just about any French door can have the glass replaced with mirror glass or you could even use a mirrored film to cover the panes of glass blocking out harsh sun rays while allowing some light to filter through. The 10-Lite Panel Bottom Dual Clear Tempered Glass (8-0ft) 12" to 42" by 96” doors are available from buywooddoors.com from 369.00 to 599.00 in mahogany wood is a good door to use this film on. This style of door offers somewhat of a European style to your home. These can be sliding doors, bifold, multifold or swing style doors.

Prefinished White Classic French Glass Bifold Door from amazon.com. This door has divided lite tempered glass for $279.83 and it is finished in white.
