Sounds like you want wood to coordinate with the rest of the house and offer
thin frames.

Wickes have a selection of unequal-sized French doors which have a 'normal'
width door on one side and a 'narrow' width door on the other, so you can
use the normal door for access and then open the other half when you want
the full space opened.
