Best wooden french doors for garden studio/workshop

I'm having an artists workshop built in tanelised timber - shiplap on a concrete base. I have a company supplying and building the wooden building but would love advice about where to get some decent wooden framed french doors.

Would like double glazing with two floor to ceiling picture windows either side. Total span of wall is 5m, so anything that spans more than half of this is good. The studio is a simple wooden structure, so doors need to be attractive, durable, but NOT expensive urban cool/ designer and definitely NO PVC. The climate is coastal, but the studio is sheltered, so I imagine painted softwood would be fine - altho hardwood better. I'm confused about what is best - some doors come with frames and glazing, others without. The price differences can be massive.

Any advice on good off-the-peg retailers and what to buy would be great!

Thank you

If you're willing to go to a French supplier (I was), I can recommend their oak framed (chene bois) units which sound to meet all your criterea:

I bought a set of these La Porte doors recently: (although the 4 ft version). Very solidly built, and Focus was the cheapest I could find for this particular type. You can also see them on the manufacturers site

where they do much wider doors too up to 4.7m wide.
