French Door Range

French doors are a pair of hinged doors that open from the centre, while patio doors usually means sliding doors that glide past each other on a track.

French doors suit smaller openings and period homes because they open the full width of the frame and have a traditional look.

Sliding patio doors suit wider openings where you want bigger panes of glass and no doors swinging into the room or out onto the patio.

The best material for French doors depends on your home and budget, and we offer five options in aluminium, aluminium clad timber, timber, timber alternative and uPVC.

Aluminium gives the slimmest frames, timber and aluminium clad timber bring natural warmth into the room, and timber alternative suits heritage homes that want the look of wood without repainting.

uPVC French doors are the most affordable low-maintenance option, and they come in a wide range of colours and finishes.

French doors can open outwards or inwards, and outward opening French doors are the more common choice in the UK because they don't take up floor space inside and stand up well to driving rain.

Inward opening doors suit balconies and tight patios where an outward swing would get in the way of furniture or a walkway. We can advise on the right option for your space during the survey.
