French Doors: Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a range of styles and designs of French doors, from historic single-glazed with putty beading to contemporary triple-glazed. They are also available as inward or outward openings and can be customised with various mouldings or panel designs. There is also a choice of glazing bars and even arched tops if required.

We offer a wide range of colours and stains in our standard colour range. There is also the option to match all leading manufacturers’ paint colours, which gives you maximum choice.

Complete the look with our range of traditional or contemporary door furniture and a range of glass options.

Our timber French doors are Secured by Design and tested to PAS 24:2016. They come with multipoint locking systems and the best cylinder locks, which perform exceptionally well in security tests.

This combination of timber construction and locking technology ensures a strong performance, making our timber French doors not only efficient but also a reliable barrier to potential intruders.

In addition, we offer customisation options such as timber profiles, finishes, glazing and furniture options, further improving the door’s resilience without compromising on style.

‘A’ rated as standard, the performance of our timber French windows is excellent, and they meet or exceed the latest building regulations. Our attention to detail with dual seal meeting rails means they perform as well as a single door.

External French doors that are made to modern manufacturing standards and installed correctly should not leak water into your home. If your timber French doors happen to be older and worn down, they may be more susceptible to leaking. 

Check our repair and maintenance page for more information on getting your timber French doors back to their best.

In order to maximise internal floor space, fitting outward-swinging French doors would be your ideal choice. However, alternatively, if you wish to maximise patio and garden space, there are inward swinging French doors. 

At the end of the day, it all comes down to preference.

Security is a key feature of our timber French doors. They include advanced multipoint locking systems, toughened glass, and high-quality timber that resists forced entry, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners.
