French Doors

We have moved to a house and I was looking forward to setting up my system in a dedicated room. This room is 13 X 12 but does not have a door. Instead, it has a Rough Opening (a term I learned at Home Depot) of (H) 94" X (W) 65". I was told that this is not the standard French Door size. I am looking for any advise that you guys can offer to get this room sealed.

I want to get this done ASAP, as I will not set up my system in a room that is open to kids and visitors.

Considering the dimensions of the room, but not knowing the location of the opening, I have to wonder if you really want to put a door there?

I've used double glazed glass windows and they do use thin glass. For a little more money, they will put thicker glass in the window. I would strongly recommend that.

Unsound,
Good point. The room has that single opening on the back of the 13' wall. This is actually the "formal living room" that I will convert into a music room. As you enter the house, it is the first room on your left.
That was one of the reasons for getting a french door. But I am open to various options and ideas.

Rdavwhitaker-my thoughts exactly. He can actually order a custome size that will work fine. Double doors with side glass? It's gonna be pricey. My guess is 1-2k plus install. They don't need to be wood either. Vinyl comes in many colors.

If it already hasn't been mentioned, check the demo and let know you have a concern for rattles too.
