With a wide range of options, French doors from windows24.com are bespoke, high-quality products where properties can differ to suit requirements depending on the material selected.
Many different types of timber, from hardwood oak and softwood spruce to tropical meranti or eucalyptus, are available to choose from for external French doors at windows24.com. Sustainably sourced and with unique woodgrain patterns, these doors bring a traditional charm and robust stability. Although increased upkeep is needed if no external cladding is added, when correctly maintained and oiled, timber French patio doors create a beautiful natural transition out into gardens and can be enjoyed for years to come.
Although oak is a popular classic option for external doors, it provides slightly less insulation than the modern materials used in a grey uPVC French door, for example. Innovative triple pane glass used in external timber door window panels can however provide a solution, ensuring that the products remain energy-efficient. A thin, invisible low-E coating of metal oxide can then also be applied. This is particularly ideal for homes in warm sunny climates, which aim to maintain cool interiors, as it reflects solar UV and infra-red radiation away from buildings.
Although aluminium French doors cannot match the bespoke textures found in oak models and can be relatively expensive, they bring their own unique benefits in terms of durability and sleek minimalist design. Along with good thermal insulation, these patio doors are very impact and weather-resistant, for example, and require low upkeep. For a prolonged service life they are also powder-coated in a slick RAL colour of choice which remains vibrant for years. This also has the external doors blend in beautifully with many different entrances, whether these feature large columns with architraves or nestle into small cottages.
Aluminium is naturally conductive which can lead to heat loss. With contemporary external French door profiles, however, such as those from Schüco, which feature thermal bars and chambers, the impacts of this are circumvented. Modern aluminium French doors therefore ensure that energy efficiency and comfort meet durability. The metal can also be effectively used as a cladding to strengthen and further protect the external face of timber or uPVC French doors.
Glazed uPVC French doors are our most cost-effective and thermally insulating models. Our modern multi-chambered profiles from German manufacturer Aluplast, for example, effectively reduce the transfer of undesired incoming or escaping heat to maintain a stable indoor temperature. The doors are therefore an energy-efficient choice with excellently low u-values which saves on utility bill costs.
Whether used in bifold patio doors or to frame glazed side panels, the vinyl material also has the added advantage of being low maintenance; a cloth and some detergent are enough to remove any build-up of dirt on the sleek surface, for example. To further increase durability and service-life, these practical patio doors can then also be externally clad, or coated in a durable RAL colour.
Regardless of frame material, exterior French doors, with their generous glass window panels, can be attractive to intruders looking to gain entry using crowbars and a screwdriver. At windows24.com, however, exterior French doors can feature many different security add-ons to deter burglars and prevent break-ins which make them open yet reliable products. Pre-finished with standard double glazing, for example, thick glazed window panels and quality handles provide a good secure basis. As is the case for front doors, a sophisticated alarm device or multi-point hinge locking system can also be added, as can a pane of laminated safety glass – just head to the configurator to view all the available options and discover more.

Those looking for a more traditional design with added character and pattern may decide to add Georgian bars, for example, which elegantly separate the glazed window insert into multiple panes.
