At Mestre Raposa, we design custom wood French doors that combine aesthetics, comfort, and accessibility. With our expertise in folding systems, lift-and-slide doors, and barrier-free threshold solutions, we meet the demands of both modern architecture and elegant renovations. Our exterior wood joinery ensures a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors, without compromising on insulation or security.
Lift-and-slide doors: fluid movement, view, and performance
Lift-and-slide wood doors or wood-aluminum versions allow you to open large glazed areas effortlessly. The premium sliding system enables smooth operation, making them ideal for large-scale joinery.
They provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, even with very large glass panels. Available with double or triple glazing, they integrate perfectly into contemporary wood joinery designs.
Folding doors: the accordion aesthetic
Folding wood doors or accordion doors offer a full opening to the outdoors, without visual obstructions. This joinery system is especially suited for terraces, conservatories, or public spaces. Easy to handle, they provide maximum flexibility with a high level of security and comfort.
Barrier-free thresholds: accessibility and aesthetics
We offer flush thresholds for wood French doors, designed to ensure easy access, especially for people with reduced mobility (PRM).
Our zero thresholds guarantee:
- Perfect water and air tightness
- A discreet and elegant finish
- A barrier-free opening system that complies with accessibility standards
These thresholds are ideal for homes, hotels, public buildings, and other establishments open to the public (ERP).

- Wood species: pine, oak, meranti, Accoya®
- Glazing bars: standard or traditional, applied externally or integrated into the glazing

- High-performance glazing: double or triple, anti-burglary, acoustic, or solar control glass
Our range of high-end wood joinery is ideal for all types of projects: single-family homes, contemporary extensions, renovations, or new constructions.
