French doors can transform an existing simple doorway in your home into a grand entrance. The expanse of thermally efficient glass lets in floods of light and creates a real feeling of spaciousness, even when the doors are closed. When both door leaves are wide open, they provide easy access to your garden or patio area all year round, whilst also allowing rapid ventilation during hot summer periods.
The longevity of Hazlemere’s French Doors is not only safeguarded by the strength of the frames but also the locking handles which when properly secured provide a permanently consistent barrier between the indoors and outdoors. To prevent any form of damage or injury to family members occurring during high winds, you can also specify the fixing of restrictor hinges to stop the doors from needlessly being blown open.
When both parts of the French door are left fully ajar you will have a perfect pathway you can utilise for entering and exiting home and garden in majestic style. Even when the doors are locked and closed, you can expect them to transfer a huge amount of natural sunlight into your internal living area, helping make it feel bright and expansive throughout the daytime.
UPVC offers low maintenance, long lasting and is very affordable, whilst aluminium is all about sleek sightlines and maximum glass areas.
EXPLORE OUR COLOUR OPTIONS
Have a good look through all the colour options for your new French door. UPVC is the favoured material for the majority of homeowners which is no surprise, whilst the powder-coated finishes applied to aluminium doors creates a rich and deep texture.
With our UPVC range you can choose between textured woodgrain or a smooth surface finish...
Hazlemere's high quality French doors come in an attractive range of colour options including white, classic cream, green, grey, white woodgrain, mahogany, rosewood, light oak and black, so you can create your own style statement.
While the brilliant white standard profile has the smooth finish of gloss painted wood, each of our coloured UPVC frames have a natural woodgrain texture that looks like traditional stained timber. Our aluminium frames come in a choice of gloss, matt or satin finishes.
Powder-coating makes for a lasting finish...
Every finish applied to our French doors is subject to a powder-coating process so that it endures the test of time without you having to put in any effort. You will be amazed at the diversity of colour available with options including grey, white, black, buttermilk and sage.
Add style to your new door...
Our door furniture comes in a massive range of colours & finishes, and this includes all of the handles we have specifically produced for our Extreme UPVC doors.
Express yourself and create the right look and design with your choice of handle.
French Doors are an almost immovable barrier...
When utilised as dividing line between your home and the outside world and properly locked shut, French Doors will offer huge security against any wannabe burglars. Not only are the door frames incredibly strong, but they’re also affixed with several secure features such as a multi-point locking system which includes hock locks, roller cams, deadbolts and a reliable latch.
Every room in your house should be clearly defined and have its own particular function. To reinforce the individual identity of e.g. living room and dining area, you could logically fit a set of French Doors between the two spaces and seal them off from each other. This will enable you to make the grandest of entrances whenever you put the doors into operation.

DISCOVER OUR FRENCH DOORS
Still unsure if your French doors are right for you? To help you decide we’ve answered some of the most common questions we get asked our doors below. If you’d like to know more about our French doors we recommend a visit to our showroom where our team can answer any questions you have and help you find your perfect door.
What is the difference between French doors and patio doors?
While these two door styles are similar they have distinct differences.
The key difference between a set of French doors and patio doors is how they open. French doors are installed on hinges and can be opened in or out. Whereas, patio doors are secured to a track, which allows the door to slide open and closed.
If you’re concerned about floor space, then a patio door could be ideal as it slides out of the way when open. If you’re looking to make a real entrance, then French doors are the right choice for you.
Their traditional glazing complements a classic aesthetic and makes the perfect connection between your home and garden.
If you’re interested in installing our French doors, our team will work with you to completely customise our doors to your home. Why not book your design appointment online today.
How do I know if French doors are right for me?
If you’re looking for a traditional door that will add to your home’s aesthetic, then French doors are right for you.
No other door on the market combines classical style and charm with modern energy saving technology. While our French doors are classically designed, the glass in them has been manufactured to keep any heat you generate inside your home, giving you the benefits of the old and the new.
Our French doors are designed to flood your home with light – as they’re mostly made from glass, they’ll work wonders to create a bright and airy space. You can customise how much light enters your home by choosing whether or not to add bars to the glass. Including these in your design will help to enhance the classic look they bring.
If you’re unsure about whether French doors are right for your home, our team will be happy to talk you through the benefits and different options available. To see them in person, why not visit your nearest showroom, where you can try before you buy and see our incredible range.
Where can I add French doors to my home?
French doors are a versatile door that can be used almost anywhere.
When you think of a French door, it’s typically to connect a home to a garden. As the door opens outward, it provides unobstructed access to the great outdoors. When it comes to light and ventilation, French doors are the perfect solution and can be used almost anywhere.
Why not add them as part of your new living space? As they’re mostly made of glass they won’t block any views of your garden and still add to the bright and airy space of your new conservatory or extension. They’ll also work perfectly to connect the interior of your home to your living space if you don’t want to go completely open plan.
You can see more of how French doors can transform a living space in our gallery of installations here.
Are French doors secure?
Our French Doors are designed to be as secure as possible.
Just because our doors are mostly glazed does not mean that they’re unsafe or insecure.
Our French doors are designed to be secure before anything else and will keep any would-be intruders outside of your home. Not only are the door frames incredibly strong, but they also include key security features, such as a multi-point locking system, which includes hock locks, roller cams, deadbolts, and a reliable latch.
Whether you’re using our French doors to secure your home or your new living space, you can relax knowing that our doors are working tirelessly to keep your home safe.
If you’d like to know more about the security features in our doors or wish to discuss installing French doors in your home, we recommend booking an appointment to speak with one of our friendly advisors, who will happily answer all of your questions.
How energy efficient are French doors?
Like all of our doors, our French doors are made to be energy efficient.
When you choose Hazlemere for your project, no matter what door you choose, you can rest assured that you have chosen one of the most energy efficient doors available on the market.
Our French doors are made with the latest glazing technology, made to keep your home warm. The clever coating on our glass harnesses the heat from the sun and keeps internal
warmth locked in where it benefits you. It also works to keep any heat you generate from your central heating inside your home so you aren’t wasting energy and money.
If you’re thinking of upgrading to French doors or your existing doors are letting draughts in, we highly recommend speaking to one of our team about just how much of a difference our French doors could make to your home.
