French doors
Two doors, one wide opening and a clear step into the garden. A classic that suits almost any house.
Doors
The simplest way to open up a room
French doors are a pair of hinged glazed doors that meet in the middle with no fixed post between them. Open one for everyday use or both for the full width. They take up no more wall than a window, which makes them ideal for dining rooms, kitchens, conservatories and Juliet balconies.
Ours are made in the Eurologik 70mm system to suit openings from 1.5 to 2.4 metres wide. For anything wider, glazed side panels extend the frame and bring in more light without making the doors themselves unwieldy.
A full-width opening
Both doors fold back to leave the whole aperture clear.
Secured top to bottom
Multi-point locking on the main door and shootbolts on the second door.
Light all year
Toughened double glazing from head to threshold.
Made for your opening
Open in or out, with side panels and top lights where the opening allows.
Small details, thought through
Decide which door you will use most and we will make that the master, with the handle and lock on it. The second door is held by shootbolts at the top and bottom and releases when you want the full opening.
Outward-opening doors keep floor space free inside. Inward-opening doors suit balconies and exposed walls. A low threshold reduces the step for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and restrictor stays stop a gust of wind taking the doors out of your hand.
Colours
Eight colours, inside and out
Choose one colour throughout, or a colour for the street and white for indoors. Woodgrain finishes have a lightly textured surface.

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
French doors or bifold doors?
French doors suit openings up to about 2.4 metres and cost considerably less. Bifolds come into their own on wider openings, where several panels fold back to open most of a wall. If your opening is modest, French doors with side panels often give the better result.
Should French doors open in or out?
Most open outwards so they do not take up room inside. Opening inwards is better where the doors face a balcony, a narrow path or strong prevailing wind.
Can you turn a window into French doors?
Often, yes. If the opening is already wide enough it is usually a matter of removing the brickwork below the cill. If it needs widening, a new lintel is required and Building Regulations apply. We will advise at survey.
