We really like our French patio doors that open to our large deck. They are the typical patio doors with two side lites that open for ventilation and two larger doors that swing in toward our family room. However, if we had known about JELD-WEN'S new folding French patio doors, we might have opted for them.

Benefits and Features of New Doors
JELD-WEN'S IWP Exterior Folding door system combines the classic French door with the ease of a sliding door. We believe the major benefit is to let more of the outdoors in and save interior space in the process. They simply provide an unobstructed view of the outdoors.

The doors are available in wood or fiberglass frames, operate accordion style, with sections that slide on an overhead track an d fold away to open fully to the outdoors. By opening to the outside, you'll be able to place furniture closer to your doors without having to move them when you open the doors.

JELD-WEN's new folding exterior patio doors come in standard heights of 10 feet in wood and 8 feet in fiberglass. Locking mechanisms for each door pane provide a strong barrier against the elements.
