    What is a French door?

    This continental door style features a pair of glazed door panels allowing light into your home and providing access to or from a garden. Both doors can be inward or outward opening to maximise the space on either side.

    Originating in 17th century France, they were first used to lead onto balconies. Nowadays, they are more often openings to your garden or a conservatory.

    uPVC back doors in Essex, Suffolk and East London

    uPVC is a favourite door material because it offers a great combination of quality and security with simplicity of operation and lower cost.

    Many people choose uPVC doors because they are largely maintenance-free, requiring only an occasional wipe with a cloth. A wide range of colour options offers scope for personalisation and durable coatings prevent colours fading over time—especially good for sunny patio doors or French doors.

    Another great benefit of choosing a uPVC replacement back door is its exceptional thermal performance. Modern uPVC incorporates a multi-layered chamber frame, so the heat can’t escape even if you can!

    Aluminium French doors

    Evolving from the original French appearance, our aluminium French doors combine the traditional opening with the contemporary style of aluminium frames. Aluminium is a popular choice with homeowners, thanks to its fine lines. It offers a slimmer frame than other materials, meaning more natural light will enter your home. Such thin frames add a modernising touch to any property. A naturally light material, aluminium French doors have easy and light door mechanisms.

    A significant benefit of opting for aluminium doors is their excellent strength, giving you the assurance that your home is protected from forced entry. Their advanced manufacturing also makes them intensely able to withstand even the toughest weather without succumbing to the natural elements. You can choose from over 150+ RAL colours and a range of decorative features to get your perfect design.

    Add bespoke style without compromising on home security

    French doors make the transition between home and garden effortless for you, but equally attractive to intruders. Most commonly placed at the rear of a property—a more vulnerable area—it’s vital that you decide on those that meet strict manufacturing standards.

    We include a range of security features as standard, including shoot bolts and keylocks. You can also add additional door hardware to further enhance their protection for greater peace of mind.
