Arched French Doors

What Are French Doors?

French doors are classic double doors featuring glass panels that extend most of their height. Their design allows natural light to flow between spaces, creating an airy and elegant feel. Traditionally used for patios and interior transitions, modern French doors are now popular in steel versions, adding durability and a refined industrial aesthetic.

The Elegance of Arched French Doors

Arched French doors bring an extra level of sophistication. The curved top softens the rigid lines of traditional steel doors, making them a stunning architectural feature. Whether used in residential homes or commercial spaces, arched doors add character and timeless appeal.

Steel French Doors: Strength Meets Design

Steel French doors offer several advantages over wood or aluminum alternatives:

  • Slim Profiles – Thanks to the strength of steel, the frames can be much thinner while still maintaining structural integrity.
  • Durability – Steel is resistant to warping, cracking, and weather-related damage.
  • Customization – A variety of glazing options, frame finishes, and handle styles allow for a personalized touch.

Design Options for Steel Arched French Doors

At Icon Loft Steel Doors, we offer several configurations to match different styles:

  • Single or Double Arched Doors – Suitable for grand entrances or internal partitions.
  • Fixed Side Panels – Enhance the sense of openness while maintaining structural balance.
  • Divided Lites (Glazing Bars) – Choose from classic symmetrical patterns or minimalist designs.
