French Doors

French doors are a classic and elegant door style that remains extremely popular in UK homes. Known for their double-door design and large glass panels, French doors allow natural light to flood into your home while providing easy access to gardens, patios, and outdoor spaces.

What Are French Doors?

French doors typically consist of two outward or inward opening doors that meet in the middle, creating a wide opening when both doors are open. They are commonly used as rear doors leading to gardens or patios, but can also be used internally to connect living spaces.

French doors are available in a range of materials, including uPVC, aluminium and composite, allowing you to choose a style that suits your property and budget.

Why Choose French Doors?

Abundance of Natural Light

Large glazed panels maximise daylight, helping to create bright and welcoming living spaces.

Wide Opening Access

Opening both doors creates a clear, unrestricted opening, ideal for entertaining, moving furniture, or enjoying garden access.

Classic & Versatile Design

French doors suit a wide range of property styles, from period homes to modern extensions.

Energy Efficient

Modern French doors are fitted with high-performance double or triple glazing and insulated frames to reduce heat loss and improve comfort.

Secure & Durable

Advanced multi-point locking systems, toughened glass, and reinforced frames help keep your home secure.

Types of French Doors

External French Doors
Designed for garden, patio, or balcony access, combining weather resistance with security and insulation.

Internal French Doors
Often used to divide living spaces while maintaining light and openness between rooms.

Glazed French Doors
Feature full-height glass panels for maximum light.

Part-Glazed French Doors
Offer a balance of light, privacy, and traditional styling.

Materials for French Doors

uPVC French Doors
A popular and cost-effective choice, offering good energy efficiency and low maintenance.

Aluminium French Doors
Ideal for modern homes, providing slim frames, contemporary styling, and exceptional durability.

Composite French Doors
Combine the strength and insulation of modern materials with classic design aesthetics.

Colours, Glazing & Hardware

French doors are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including white, grey, black, bold statement shades, and realistic woodgrain effects. Glazing options include clear, frosted, patterned, or decorative glass. Hardware such as handles, hinges, and locks can be customised to suit your chosen style.

French Doors and UK Building Regulations

All replacement French doors in the UK must comply with current building regulations for thermal efficiency and safety. Installation by a FENSA or CERTASS registered installer ensures compliance and provides certification for your records.

Are French Doors Right for Your Project?

French doors are ideal if you want to maximise natural light, create a wide opening to your outdoor space, and add timeless style to your home. They are suitable for most UK properties and work particularly well in kitchens, dining rooms, and living areas.

Fitted Start of may-23. Required a full house change for new double glazing, secondary glazing, 2 back doors and a composite front door arch. Digital windows ltd were amazing from start to finish. They came within 2 weeks to view the property for measurements and give advice on what we can/cannot do. I asked them lots of questions and they were happy to answer. The customer service is excellent. They were clear in the lead time and therefore I had booked them in advance. They put down protection and covering throughout and ensure the place is left tidy. They took good care in ensuring no unnecessary damage was done in the way they took care for taking out the old windows. They mitre cut properly whats needed in regards to trim and take attention to detail for the final quality and finish. They ensured the inside and outside had high quality finish. Going the extra mile in the mortar/cement finish to make it look better. The team are respectful and clearly have great experience and attention to detail for a high quality finish. I am a customer who hawk eyes all the works and notices the smallest of things (like a bubble in silicone), however this company gave me peace of mind. I would 100% go back and recommend to all to go here for windows and doors. Amazing company, great quality finish and great customer service. Great work by Hatim, Mustafa and the team, Thank you!

We were recommended to Digital Windows and overall we were very pleased to have chosen them. They gave us a prompt, competitive quote for Aluminium windows which took about 7 weeks from paying the deposit to installation. The fitters were very professional and the job was done to a very high standard and I would definitely use them again.

Very pleased with the product and level of service of the fitters from Digital Windows. The fitters came prepared with dust sheets and cleaned up everything before they left for the day.
Would definitely recommend this company. .

I ordered my double glazing for the whole house in late October and was told that will be ready to fit in 6-8 weeks and we had a call early December that they will start work and within 5 days work was completed and all rubbish cleared and no bother from the workers at all and also obliged to do bits xtra for us too.Definitely recommended the company as they have been established for many years

Highly impressed with this professional company. From a prompt and skilled initial survey to the high quality finish. The door is of superior quality and the workmanship and installation process was excellent. As a customer, I was kept updated and asked all my preferences. It has now been in place for a few months and looks like it will last for many decades. Thank-you very much to the whole team!

Digital Windows have just fitted some black metal bifolding doors in my flat, with a catflap in one of the panels. I am delighted with the results, my doors have transformed my flat and they look stunning. They were so quick to install, and dispose of the old ones. The work is immaculate, and they were tidy too. I highly recommend this company .
