MenuWhat is a French door?
First designed in the 17th century, French doors are a popular style of door made from different materials. The key characteristic of a French door is the glass panels. They are separated by frames, and are usually rectangular shaped glass panes.
UPVC
External French doors need to be able to withstand the elements. Either a front or back door, uPVC is a chemically resistant manufactured material that is also strong. Grey uPVC French doors are popular, cost effective and come in many different styles.
Hardwood
For the more traditional look, a hardwood wooden French door can be used inside the home, for front doors and French patio doors. Interior French doors made from solid hardwood are heavier than softwood options, but are also more hardwearing.
Softwood
Although these can be used internally and externally, they require appropriate treatment. Interior French doors are lighter and good for heat retention. Interior French doors are a great way to partition rooms elegantly, without removing too much natural light.
Aluminium
Due to the strength of aluminium, the frames can be thinner, allowing for larger glass panels. This opens up the room for more light. Aluminium is great for replacing French doors for both the interior and exterior, as aluminium develops a natural protective layer of aluminium oxide. Protecting the French door from the elements.
