What is a French Door?
French doors have been around for centuries. They are usually double doors with full glass, or glass only on the top or bottom. You can open double French doors from the middle where the handles lock them together. They open inwards or outwards which makes a big, bright opening. Exterior French doors are also known as French windows because there is no pillar in the middle.

Alternative to Bifolds
Fully-glazed French doors can be a cheaper choice than other doors like bifolds. Both of these doors make your home feel bright and open, even when the weather is cloudy.

Our happy customers
“The installation team were neat, tidy and finished ahead of time. We needed some construction work to install the French doors. They did this beautifully, both inside and outside. I am extremely pleased with the result."

Patio doors are a catch-all term for any doors that open onto a patio. French doors are a pair of fully glazed double doors that open inwards or outwards. Sliding patio doors open onto a patio, with one panel sliding behind the other.
French doors are usually allowed without planning permission. But if you are making a big structural change, you will need planning permission. If your new French doors are part of a home extension, our team will explain planning permission. We will also take care of any permission you need.
French doors are double doors. In the past, people installed French doors as a pair, with a left door and a right door. That's why French doors are sometimes called double doors. We install all French doors as double doors.
To keep French doors from swinging open or getting damaged, you use hook fixings. These fixings secure the door in place while it is open. They are usually drilled into the brickwork behind the door. This allows you to hook them back when the door is open. We can install these fixings when we fit your French doors.
