Common Questions About French Doors

Most UK homeowners choose outward-opening French doors because it preserves all interior floor and furniture space inside your home. However, if your patio space is restricted or windy, inward-opening French doors can also be custom manufactured to suit your layout.
Aluminium French doors (Smart Systems) offer slimmer frame sightlines, allowing for slightly larger glass apertures and sleek contemporary styling. uPVC French doors (REHAU Total70) provide exceptional multi-chamber thermal insulation at a lower price point and can match existing uPVC windows with authentic woodgrain foils.
Both master and slave door leaves are heavily reinforced and locked. The master door features multi-point hook locks and an anti-snap cylinder, while the slave door locks firmly into the top and bottom frame with heavy-duty steel shootbolts. All Northumbrian Windows French doors meet PAS 24 security standards.
