Introduction

What size do you need?
There's plenty to choose from when it comes to our French door sizes. They're available in three widths: 120cm, 150cm and 180cm.
Measuring your door opening
Before you get to the exciting part of choosing the finish of your new French doors, measure the space you need them to fit into. Here's how you do it:
What our French doors offer
Our French door sets have:
- Multi-point locking systems for added security
- Low E double-glazed sealed units
- Trickle ventilation in the frame heads of timber doors
- A choice of a Georgian fret design or sidelights (on selected door sets)
All our French doors open outwards and come with everything you need to install them.
UPVC
A familiar sight in homes up and down Britain, UPVC is a popular and affordable choice for windows and doors. It's easy to clean and maintain, weathers well and keeps out drafts effectively.
Pre-finished timber
Our Wellington softwood patio doors come finished in white - saving you time, effort and the extra cost of painting or staining. Just fit and enjoy them.
Oak veneer timber
Made from finely sliced high-quality oak fixed to a lower-density core, this combination resists moisture and gives you doors that offer real stability. All you need to do is paint or stain them.
Solid oak laminate timber
Our Canberra solid oak range uses a three-piece laminate combination - making it less likely to warp or crack than a single piece of wood. They're supplied ready for you to paint or stain.
