Design your French doors. See them drawn.
Choose the frames, side panels, bars and colour, and which way they open. Ask for a quote and we’ll note it, then check it against your opening at the survey.
uPVC
- Halo, REHAU or Kömmerling: classic looks and great value, with no painting, ever.
Slim aluminium
- Built from slimmer Smart and Origin systems than most aluminium French doors: more glass, less frame, in any RAL colour.
- Opening outwards keeps the room clear when the doors are open.
- Opening inwards suits Juliet balconies, upper floors, or a patio with no room for the doors to swing.
A guide to the layout, not a design, and the colours are only a guide. One colour outside and white inside is available too.
Most aluminium French doors aren’t that slim.
Ask for slim aluminium and you can get a lot more glass than uPVC gives you. These are the systems we build aluminium French doors from:
- Smart Visofold 1000: a slim bifold profile used as a French door, with clean, modern lines
- Smart Alitherm Heritage: a steel-look door with a 59 mm sightline and glazing bars
- Origin OF36+: a 36 mm sash, with steel-style glazing bars in Origin’s Soho style
- Over 150 RAL colours, two colours, textured finishes and marine-grade coatings
Made to measure, for old houses and new.
With the right colour, glass and layout, French doors suit anything from a cottage to a new build. You choose:
- Layout
- A pair of doors, with side panels, a toplight, or a heritage layout with glazing bars.
- Opening
- Both doors open fully, or open one for everyday use. Outwards, or inwards.
- Bars
- Georgian bars or midrails in uPVC; horizontal steel-look bars in aluminium.
- uPVC colours
- White, grey, black, rosewood, golden oak and more.
- Aluminium colours
- Any of over 150 RAL colours, one colour each side, or a textured matt finish.
- Glass
- A-rated double or triple glazing.
- Security
- Multi-point locking as standard, with PAS 24 upgrades.
- Hinges
- Precision-engineered hinges and gearing, for smooth opening for years.

Are French doors secure?
Yes. They’re reinforced and have multi-point locking as standard, with PAS 24 upgrades for extra protection.

Yes. Smart’s Alitherm Heritage and Origin’s Soho style give the look of classic steel doors, with slim frames and glazing bars.
