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.

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.
