Balanced proportions and flexible access
French doors use two hinged leaves to create a symmetrical glazed entrance. One leaf can serve as the everyday access door, with the second opened when a wider route is helpful. Their balanced proportions suit many traditional and contemporary properties.
Material, colour, glass, bars, handles and opening direction all affect the finished doors. We help coordinate those choices with your property and the way you use the room. Explore our door options guide if you are still comparing entrance and garden doors.

A CLASSIC DESIGN, PLANNED FOR MODERN USE
A BALANCED, VERSATILE DESIGN
French doors can frame a garden view without the panel count of a bi-fold system, while providing flexible one- or two-leaf access.
PLAN HOW THE DOORS WILL OPEN
Furniture, curtains, steps, wind exposure and available patio space all influence whether inward or outward opening is more suitable.
COMFORT AND SECURITY AS A DOORSET
Frame, glazing, locks, hinges, seals, threshold and installation should be assessed together using evidence for the proposed configuration.
Details that respect the property
Slim glazing bars can reinforce a traditional look, while clean full-height glass creates a simpler contemporary result. Internal and external colour choices also help the new doors connect with both the room and the elevation.
Surveying should resolve the threshold, reveals, sill and finishing details before manufacture, particularly where existing floor levels or older walls create constraints.

Frequently asked questions
How much do new French doors cost, supplied and fitted?
French-door prices are subject to survey. Your quotation covers a pair of doors, their frame, glazing, locks, threshold and the agreed fitting work. Material, colour and additional side panels can change the price. If you are converting a window or widening the opening, structural and finishing work needs to be identified separately from the doors themselves.
Are French or sliding patio doors better for a small room?
Sliding doors preserve floor space because the panels do not swing into the room or onto the patio. French doors can work well if there is space for the leaves to open, and offer the choice of opening one door or both. Check furniture, curtains and outdoor seating before choosing the layout.
Do French doors open inwards or outwards?
Either arrangement may be available, depending on the system. Inward-opening doors need room beside furniture and curtains. Outward-opening doors need clear patio space and careful consideration of steps and wind exposure. The preferred direction should be agreed before manufacture, along with the main everyday access door.
Can I replace a window with French doors?
It may be possible, but converting a window to a doorway needs more assessment than replacing existing doors. Check the wall and lintel, floor and patio levels, drainage, and any planning or building-control requirements before ordering. If the opening is widened, the structural support also needs assessment. Agree who is responsible for the building work and approvals.
Can French doors have a low threshold?
Low-threshold options depend on the selected door system and the property. A small step is only one part of usable access: the clear opening, internal floor, patio levels and drainage matter too. Tell us about mobility or access needs during the survey so the entrance can be planned around them.
Are French doors secure?
A French-door pair needs suitable locking for both the main leaf and the second leaf, together with a secure frame, hinges and glazing. Correct installation matters, especially where the doors meet in the middle. Ask for the security details and any relevant test evidence for the exact pair being quoted.
