The Patio Door Reinvented

3. Open Your Door to the Outdoors
French Slide™ is an affordable all-in-one patio door which
slides both left and right, and due to our proprietary hinging
technology, also opens out to provide homeowners with
a sense of luxury at a low cost. We have developed a
proprietary track system which focuses on ADA compliance
and ease of access. French Slide™is reinventing the patio
door and eliminating the need to choose between sliding or
hinging. The original patio door, now known as the French or
hinging patio door, provides the homeowner with a luxurious
experience because of its ability to open up completely, but
they don’t work everywhere, such as many coastal areas,
due to space constraints and performance requirements.
Sliding patio doors, introduced to the market much later,
offer homeowners a space conserving, high performing
and low-cost alternative, however; they lack the luxury
French hinging doors bolster. French Slide combines the
best features of both sliding and hinging patio doors while
eliminating their cons, to create a truly all in one patio door
perfect for any space and every place.

4. On a humid summer afternoon, while trying to move
a sectional couch through their sliding glass door, two
college students ran into a problem: it wouldn’t fit! After
multiple failures, they were determined to find a better
way, so they invented the French Slide. French doors
provide plenty of operational space but don’t fit in small
spaces, and they are more expensive than sliding doors.
Sliding patio doors are convenient for daily use but offer
little operationalspace. This frustration and lack of choice
led to the invention of the French Slide.
