French Doors and Cover strip?

[Beansy]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question i have about french doors with possibility of cover strips

I'm after a set of french doors on the rear of my house, the problem i'm having is that i'm trying to avoid having doors made to fit as they cost more, my measurements are 1290 x 2090mm, so i was wondering if it was possible to buy a standard size fit 1190 x 2090 set of doors, pack out 50mm gap either side and fit cover strips aroun the edge?

Is there any problems doing this and does anyone have any experience of doing it and any pictures of what it would look like if possible, as i have no idea?

Thanks

In theory theres nothing stopping you doing that, a length of 3x2 PAR down each side cloaked with white trim will work.......BUT it'll double the thickness of the frame and on an already narrow set of doors may look a bit silly but if your happy then.........

IMO though it looks a bodge and a work around but this is from a ex pvc fitter now service engineer that gives a toss

cheers for your reply mate, so in a word i should stop being a cheap skate, and pay for made to measure doors instead ha ha!

What prices have you got for off the shelf and made to measure?

Supply only, made to measure best price so far is £490 and standard fit is in Focus and Screwfix, and i think its around £327, there or there abouts!!
