In the world of luxury residential design, every detail matters. From custom finishes to handcrafted millwork, homeowners and architects alike seek elegance and authenticity. At Maison Janneau, we offer more than just premium wood windows and doors: we bring centuries-old French craftsmanship into today’s most refined American homes.
One of the most distinctive elements of our doors is their hardware, especially our beautifully designed French doors handles, espagnolette locking systems, and decorative crémones. These features blend seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors, providing a true sense of style and security.
Why Choose Wood for Your Windows and Doors?
Natural wood remains the gold standard in luxury home design. It offers unmatched warmth, insulation, and character. Unlike materials like vinyl or aluminum, wooden windows and doors age gracefully and can be restored or customized to suit evolving tastes.
Maison Janneau specializes in custom wood joinery, crafted in our French atelier using sustainably sourced oak and exotic hardwoods. Each piece is designed for performance and beauty, ensuring long-term value for your home.

A Closer Look at French Doors Handles
French doors handles are perhaps the most tactile component of your wood window or patio door system. When you reach for a handle, it should feel solid, elegant, and intentional.
We offer a wide selection of styles:
- Traditional brass handles with antique patina
- Modern stainless steel levers for minimalist interiors
- Hand-forged iron handles inspired by 18th-century French craftsmanship
These handles aren’t just aesthetic. They’re engineered for performance and tested for durability in both residential and light commercial use. Many of our French door systems are also compatible with multi-point locking mechanisms, providing added security and smooth operation.
Espagnolette: A Symbol of French Charm
An espagnolette is a vertical locking rod that engages with the top and bottom of the door or window frame. Certainly common in European design, it’s an iconic element in French wood joinery.
Maison Janneau offers espagnolette systems in a variety of finishes, from oil-rubbed bronze to polished nickel. Whether you choose a straight or curved handle, each one is crafted with attention to detail and a touch of old-world sophistication.
These bolts are ideal for tall French casement windows or double doors, where you want a locking mechanism that’s both visible and graceful.
Cremone: Decorative Meets Functional
Crémones are another hallmark of classic French hardware. Consisting of surface-mounted rods connected by a central handle, they offer both security and ornamentation.
Many of our clients choose crémone bolts for their custom French casement windows, pairing them with divided lites and arched frames for a complete historical look.
