Technical Information
External French doors are generally made up of 2 doors that are hinged on opposite sides of the frame. Usually both doors open outwards to create a feeling of connection between the inside and outside of your home. If used on a Juliet balcony then the doors can open inwards so you can still open and close them effectively.
French doors are named after their country of origin, France. Invented during the renaissance period in the 16th and 17th centuries and originally made of wrought iron and wood they were predominantly used to walk onto balconies. It wasn’t until later that glass was used at which point their popularity increased and began to be used across Europe and remain a popular choice for homes today.
The cost of french patio doors can vary from £650 - £3000 depending on the material, size, energy efficiency and security of the doors.
Most French doors sold today are safe and secure. Make sure you buy doors from reputable suppliers and ensure they feature multipoint locks, 3 star euro cylinders and also have PAS 24 accreditation. If you want any extra level of security, consider upgrading from toughened to laminated glass
