Frequently Asked Questions
About French Doors
Need more information before ordering your new French doors? Read our answers to the most commonly asked questions about this stylish choice.
French doors are stylish and functional doors that typically feature glass panes extending most of their length. This design allows natural light to flow freely between rooms or into a space from the outdoors, such as a balcony.
These doors are ideal for beautifying any room and increasing its usability, as well as increasing the amount of light that enters a room.
Yes, there is a difference between the two. French doors are a specific type of double door that features a pair of doors with glass panels extending the full length.
Double doors, on the other hand, can be either solid or glass and don’t necessarily have to have the distinctive glass pane design of French doors.
This depends on your available space and the purpose of the furniture to be used. In most cases, inward-opening French doors are used in interior areas because they do not encroach on the exterior living area.
For external doors, outward-opening French doors may be preferable as they do not open into a space or onto indoor furniture.
Our custom French doors are manufactured with uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride). Here are some benefits of uPVC for French doors:
- Durability: uPVC doors’ material is capable of withstanding weathering, rotting as well as rusting.
- Insulation: These doors offer good thermal insulation, helping to keep your home energy-efficient.
- Security: uPVC French doors available today are designed in such a way that they can be fitted with very secure locking systems.
- Cost-Effective: uPVC doors are more cost-effective than wood or aluminium.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: uPVC French doors can be designed to mimic the appearance of wood, giving you a traditional look with the benefits of modern materials.
As French door installers and suppliers, we have found that this partly depends on what you need for your property. Both types of doors have the benefit of excellent natural ventilation.
Bifolds are fantastic where space is limited or where more space is needed during specific occasions when the door is opened wider.
French doors are more conventional and do not have the modern appearance of bifold doors. Hence, they are better for offering a view between the two rooms. This also helps spaces feel more integrated and open.
For most homes, patio doors mean sliding doors, which are pretty space-saving and simple to use. French doors are usually wider than standard doors and thus need a large space to open. However, when opened, they give a very elegant look and provide more natural light and easy access.
It is advisable to use what is known as toughened safety glass for French door use. This glass is manufactured to have some impact absorption capability, and shatters into smaller pieces on breaking.
To burglar-proof high-quality French doors, consider the following measures:
- Install high-security locking systems that are robust and resistant to tampering.
- Use toughened or laminated glass, which is harder to break.
- Add security bars or grilles for additional protection.
- Ensure that the frame and hinges are secure and use reinforced hardware.
- Install a door alarm for added deterrence.
Yes, French doors are a fantastic addition to homes in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. They provide excellent natural light, which is particularly beneficial in regions with shorter daylight hours.
Additionally, modern French doors with double glazing offer good insulation, helping to keep homes warm during the colder months.
Yes, you can install double glazing in French door replacements. Double glazing enhances thermal efficiency, reduces noise and improves security, making it a popular choice for interior and exterior French doors in many homes.
PVC, otherwise known as Polyvinyl Chloride, is a chemical compound formulated from chlorine, hydrogen and carbon only. The “U” in uPVC means unplasticised, implying that the product has not gone through the process of being softened by incorporating elements known as plasticisers.
uPVC’s strength and minimal maintenance stem from its composition as a vinyl polymer, which, despite not being plastic, works exceptionally well with steel for added reinforcement.
Add a touch of old-school glamour to a living space with stylish replacement French doors in Glasgow.
