French windows

Full-length glazed doors

French windows are a pair of glass-paned doors that open outward or inward, typically leading to a garden, balcony, or patio.

They extend from near the floor to near the ceiling and function as both window and door: The French windows let afternoon light flood the sitting room.

Also called French doors.
