uPVC French Doors & Exterior French uPVC Doors

A French door is typically manufactured from uPVC and comes with a range of glass panes covering most of its length depending on the style of door you choose. The majority of French doors are usually fitted as a pair instead of just one single door.

French doors are typically used as a gateway into your garden but they also tend to be popular when used inside the home to separate two rooms such as a conservatory and a living room. The door design is based on a set of double opening interior doors that open from the centre and typically come fitted with glass panes extending for most of the doors length.

We have worked tirelessly to ensure that our French doors provide exceptional security and safety benefits. All of our doors are rigorously tested and have achieved the relevant British Standard accreditations covering not only quality standards but also public safety. When it comes to security, all of our doors contain integrated and encased locking mechanisms designed to deter a burglar from embarking on the difficult task of breaking in. Unlike French doors of the past, Safestyle's French doors are beaded internally. This prevents a would be intruder from simply removing the beads around the edge of the glazing and taking out the glass.

Safestyle French doors also come with various high-security and safety features, including:
- All our cylinder locks are approved by Secured by Design, an official police initiative to help ‘design out’ crime.
- Multi-point locking system
- Toughened glass as standard

Yes! Many of our customers desire a more traditional look and choose to replace their old patio doors with a set of period-looking French doors. French doors are typically a more slender style; placing two doors in the space where you may previously had only one. In terms of space perception they look great and can actually make the door opening bigger.

Adjusting uPVC doors is not an easy task and should usually be undertaken by a professional window fitter. Poorly adjusted French doors can impact the amount of draught coming through, heat energy that might be lost and the overall security those French doors can provide.

Under all current building regulations, all windows and doors must have a lintel installed above them.

All in all, French doors are very secure. As our French doors come with multipoint locks and shoot bolts to anchor the doors securely, you never have to worry about your safety.

It's difficult to say exactly how much French doors would cost as they have to be manufactured to precise measurements and typically no French doors are ever the same.

All our doors are available in a variety of styles and options which all differ in price. The cost will depend on how big the French doors need to be and how complex the job is.

You can install French doors in a variety of openings in your home, including to replace a window. It's best to get in touch with us and we will be able to advise you on all of your options and determine whether additional building work is required.

When getting a door fitted by a company you should always leave this to professionals as small inaccuracies or errors can result in a larger cost to both repair and in some cases completely restart.

If you're adding or replacing French doors at your property, this is normally considered a 'permitted development', meaning you don't need planning permission.

uPVC French patio doors can open in or out but not both, so you'll need to decide which one you'd prefer before installing your doors.
