French doors make the ideal alternative to standard patio doors and can help the great outdoors feel closer. They’re blessed with a subtle European charm and will give your home a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere.

Features
French doors have been incredibly popular and their design dates back centuries. They were once exclusively made with wood, but ours are made with high quality uPVC. This helps bring an older style into the modern era and provide the kind of thermal comfort homeowners expect from their fittings.
That’s not all, our French doors have multiple features and benefits that set them apart from the competition. Click on the image spots to the right for more.
Energy Efficient Profiles
Our French doors feature slim, multi-chamber profiles that provide incredible energy efficiency. They can achieve a 1.3 W/m²K U-value when double glazed, or an incredible 1.0 W/m²K with triple glazing.
Euro Profile Cylinders 3-Star TS007 as Standard
You can’t sleep peacefully unless you know your home is secure, so we fit our uPVC doors with sophisticated modern locking mechanisms. They come with maximum security top and bottom shootbolts as standard to help keep your home safe.
Multiple Threshold Options
We understand the importance of making access easy. We proudly offer eight different thresholds to suit your needs, ranging from the standard frame-only threshold to Part M-compliant low thresholds.
Coordinated Hinges
To maintain the streamlined design, we fit our doors with coordinated hinges in a choice of ten colours. They help maintain the flawless finish and also deliver a consistent, reliable performance.
Why Choose uPVC French Doors?
French doors have a rich history and they have a lot of aesthetic appeal, but there’s more to them than good looks. We use ethically sourced, high quality uPVC that provides these doors with an inherent strength and stability. They are comparatively low maintenance and enjoy long lifespans, and unless they’re mistreated or intentionally damaged, you can expect them to last for twenty to thirty years.
As an added bonus, these doors won’t trouble your conscience. They contain no lead and are fully recyclable, so can help reduce your wider environmental impact and meet UK legislation ahead of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Are They Called French Doors?
French doors got their name because they originally became popular in France. They first appeared in Italy during the Renaissance period but took off when the French fell in love with them and they subsequently spread throughout northern Europe. You could easily argue that they should be called Italian doors, but ‘French doors’ is the name that’s stuck.
Are French Doors Weatherproof?
Yes, we rigorously test our French doors to ensure that they can resist even the worst of the unpredictable British climate. They feature a patented bubble gasket seal so draughts and water ingress will be a thing of the past.
I Thought French Doors Were A Type Of Window?
This is a common misconception. French doors and French windows are indeed very similar, and the largest French windows could feasibly be used as entranceways. But while the names are sometimes used interchangeably, French doors are not windows and are supposed to be treated like full-sized doors.
Do French Doors Open Inwards Or Outwards?
This is entirely up to you. We can design them to open either way so you can have outward-opening doors for maximum floor space, or inward-opening doors to get more out of your garden, balcony or patio area.
Can I Include Door Restrictors?
Yes, in order to limit the chance of accidental damage, we can fit your new French doors with restrictors that prevent them from opening past a set angle.
