Powder-coated finishes that last

Common questions about French doors
Helpful answers before you decide.
French doors can be an attractive way to improve access, daylight and ventilation, but it’s natural to have questions before choosing them. Here are some useful answers to help you decide whether French doors are right for your home.
1. How are French doors and patio doors different?
French doors use two hinged leaves that open from the centre, whereas patio doors generally slide horizontally along a track. French doors therefore need room for the leaves to swing, while patio doors can be useful where external or internal space is more restricted.
2. How do I know if French doors are right for my home?
Consider how much space you have around the opening and how you want to use the doors. French doors are particularly effective where you want a traditional appearance, generous access and plenty of natural light without installing a large sliding system.
3. Where can French doors be installed?
French doors are commonly used to connect living rooms, kitchens and conservatories with gardens or patios. They can also be suitable for other openings within a property, depending on the layout, dimensions and intended use of the space.
4. Are French doors secure?
Modern French doors can offer strong security through robust frames, secure hardware and multi-point locking. When the doors are fully closed and locked, the locking mechanism secures the opening leaves at multiple points to help resist unwanted entry.
5. How energy efficient are French doors?
French doors can provide good thermal performance when specified with modern insulated frames and energy-efficient glazing. UPVC and aluminium options can both help reduce heat loss, while suitable glazing can further improve insulation and help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
6. Can French doors be installed in a conservatory?
Yes. French doors can work particularly well within conservatories, providing a practical route into the garden while maintaining the character of the space. They’re also useful where you want to replace an existing opening with a more attractive and functional alternative.
7. Are French doors easy to maintain?
Modern UPVC and aluminium French doors are designed to be relatively simple to look after. Regularly cleaning the frames and glazing will help maintain their appearance, while occasional checks of handles, hinges, locks and other moving components can support smooth operation.
8. Can French doors open inwards as well as outwards?
Yes. French doors can be specified to suit the requirements of the opening and the available space, with the appropriate opening direction considered during the design process. Your installer can advise on the most practical arrangement for your property.
