French doors are typically double doors that open outward, connecting your home to your garden. Popular for centuries, they take their name from doors common in French homes that have no pillar in the middle. This means when they’re open, you get a wide uninterrupted view.

uPVC French doors are energy-efficient, affordable and easy to maintain. This makes then a popular choice for modern and period homes. You can buy these uPVC doors from us in double or triple glazing in a variety of colours.
We laminate our wooden French doors to make them last a long time and withstand the weather. Wood is a natural insulator, which makes it one of the best materials for energy efficiency. Timber French doors are ideal for cottages and go well with traditional decor.
Our Aluminium French doors are stylish and durable. Made from extruded alloy, our aluminium frames are slim, strong and come in a range of colours. Aluminium doors can be a great match for both traditional and modern homes.
Our modern French doors have robust and reliable security features. Each come with a 3-star cylinder lock, with locking gear that engages at multiple points around the frame. All our frames materials are strong and durable with internal beading to stop glass removal from the outside.
Our French doors come with double glazing as standard, and you can upgrade our uPVC French doors with triple glazing. Our modern replacement French doors help lock in the heat and keep out the cold. Replacing old, draughty French doors can help lower reliance on the heating, helping bring down energy bills in colder months.
French doors help bring in lots of natural light with large glazed panels. This can transform the feel of a room, making it feel brighter and more pleasant even on dull, cloudy days. Even half or part-glazed options can add much-needed light to a darker living room or dining room.
French doors create a grand double opening that gives your home a timeless style to suit both period and modern homes. Creating a stylish entrance to your patio, balcony, or garden can be a great way to add visual appeal and value to your home.
Our French doors come in two different designs, with fully glazed and half-glazed options.
The classic French door design with fully glazed panels, providing lots of natural light and an elegant look. Fully glazed French doors are the obvious choice for a fully glazed conservatory or when you want to add more light to a living or dining room that leads onto your garden.
Half-glazed French doors have a fully glazed top half or third with a solid panel at the bottom half or third. This design adds character with a nod to classic design. Add them an Edwardian style orangery, or as stylish connecting doors between your home and sun room.

Replacing your French doors not only refreshes the look and feel of your home, but it also brings the benefits of the latest in security and energy efficiency features. Our French doors are designed and manufactured in the UK with uPVC, timber and aluminium options to suit any property and budget. All our French doors are custom-made for our customers, so we can replace any size and style of French door.
There are several signs that your French doors need replacing: if they’re letting draughts through, or if condensation is forming between the panes of glass. Damage to the frames or hinges can also make them hard to open or mean they don’t close securely, and so need to be fully replaced.
Complete your new French doors with the perfect blinds to go with them. Choose from our bespoke blinds, available with a huge range of styles, fabrics and designs.

Your questions on French Doors, answered by us
French doors can vary in cost based on the material, colours, and glazing you select. Our skilled craftspeople look at each project individually, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. To determine the price of your French doors, please get in touch.
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.
Yes, you need a lintel above a French door. Every doorway and window should have a lintel above them. A lintel is essential to hold up the wall and structure of a building above door and window openings, including French doors. If you have a damaged lintel, then we offer the Anglian Lintel Solution to strengthen existing walls above windows and doors. Ask our experts at your design appointment about the Anglian Lintel Solution if you have failed lintels above any window and door on your property.
Yes, our French doors are available with matching side panels to add more natural light and create a beautiful feature. It’s an ideal choice for larger spaces or any room where you want to make the most of views into the garden.
