French Doors
Classic double-leaf outward-opening french doors for a wide, welcoming garden connection.
About Our French Doors Service
French doors have been a feature of British domestic architecture for over a century, and their classic double-leaf symmetry remains one of the most popular rear-door choices for homeowners across Hampshire and West Sussex. Modern french doors in uPVC or aluminium combine the traditional full-width opening with multi-point locking hardware and sealed double-glazed panels, providing both the garden connection and the security that older timber sets frequently lacked. Aperture Windows & Doors fits french doors in a wide range of sizes and colours, including anthracite grey and heritage finishes for period properties, and options with side panels (sidelights) to widen the light-gathering beyond the door opening itself.
Benefits of Our French Doors Service
- ✓Full-width double-leaf opening floods the rear room with garden light
- ✓Multi-point locking throughout for improved home security
- ✓Optional sidelights extend natural light beyond the door opening itself
French Doors — Frequently Asked Questions
Standard french doors are designed to open outward, which keeps the swing clear of furniture inside the room. Inward-opening sets are available where an outward-opening door would obstruct a terrace or step. We can advise on the most practical configuration for your property at your free survey.
French doors provide a double-leaf opening at roughly the same width as the door frame — typically 1.2 to 1.8 metres. Bi-fold doors use a multi-panel concertina system to create a much wider clear opening (typically 2.4 metres and above). French doors tend to be the more cost-effective choice for standard rear openings; bi-fold doors are suited to wider apertures where the near-full-width opening is the goal.
