The short answerFrench doors are a pair of hinged glass doors that open outwards, so they give you a wide opening to the garden without taking up room inside. All Weather Roofline tailor-makes uPVC French doors in white, anthracite, honey oak and rosewood, with modern locking systems, and fits them with our own installers.

Why choose AWR

A wide clear opening

Open both doors and the whole space opens up to your patio or garden.

Saves inside space

French doors open outwards, so they do not crowd your room.

More natural light

Large glass panels let daylight pour in, even with the doors closed.

Bring the garden into the room

A single back door or a small window can make a room feel shut off from the garden. French doors change that. Open both doors on a warm day and the room and patio become one space, ideal for summer meals and keeping an eye on the children outside.

On colder days, the large glass panels still flood the room with light, so it feels brighter and bigger all year round.

French doors also make a room easier to air. Open one door for a breeze, or both for a through-draught on a hot day, and close them tight when the weather turns.

How French doors work

French doors are a pair of doors on hinges that open outwards. Because they swing out, you keep your floor space free inside. They originated in France in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the style still suits both period and modern homes.

They are a popular way into a conservatory as well as a garden or patio. You can have them in different sizes and designs to suit your opening.

Secure and warm all year

Worried all that glass is an easy way in? Our French doors come fully fitted with modern locking mechanisms and hardware, and our own installers make sure everything sits square and locks properly.

Modern double-glazed French doors help keep the heat in, and uPVC frames need very little looking after. They are made to stand up to harsh weather with minimal maintenance over the years.

Old, poorly sealed garden doors are a common source of draughts in a back room. For the bigger picture, our free energy check shows where else heat is getting out.

Customer reviews

What our customers say.

In their own words, from reviews left for our fitters and installers.

Joe and Tom fitted our patio door on 19th July on what was the hottest day in uk. They were both absolutely fantastic. They worked so hard in unbearably hot weather conditions. They were friendly and polite and did an amazing job. We're really happy with the finished result. Cannot praise these guys enough. An asset to All Weather Roofline.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is the difference between French doors and patio doors?

French doors are a pair of hinged doors that open outwards, giving you the full width of the opening. Patio doors slide sideways past a fixed glass panel, so they need no space to swing open. French doors suit homes where you want a wide, classic opening. Sliding doors suit tighter spaces outside.

Are French doors secure?

Yes, when they are made and fitted properly. Our French doors come with modern locking mechanisms and hardware built in. Our own trained installers fit every pair so the doors sit square in the frame and the locks engage fully. Our doors also have triple-lock security.

Do I have enough space for French doors?

French doors open outwards, so you need clear space outside for the doors to swing, such as a patio or a level area of garden. Inside, they take up no room. Our surveyor will check the space, the wall and the ground level outside before recommending French doors or an alternative.
