🚪 UPVC French Doors – Slim, Efficient & Easy to Install
Our UPVC French doors are designed for maximum performance and minimal maintenance. Built from slim thermally broken profiles, they allow for wider glass panels with fewer frames — bringing more light into your space and enhancing your view.
🌡️ Built for Energy Efficiency
Glass makes up approximately 80% of the door’s surface, so thermal performance starts with premium glazing. We use advanced glass specifications to improve energy efficiency, paired with:
- Rigid rubber seals
- Draught excluders
- Polyamide thermal barrier profiles
This combination creates a thermal break between the cold outdoors and your warm interior — reducing condensation, keeping out unwanted noise, and retaining heat where you need it most.
🧰 How to Measure for Your UPVC French Doors
Getting the right fit starts with the right measurements. Follow this step-by-step guide:
✅ If You Don’t Have an Existing Frame:
- Measure the height in three places: left, centre, right
- Measure the width in three places: top, middle, bottom
- Take the average of each set
- Subtract 10mm for fitting clearance
This prevents misalignment or forcing the frame during installation.
✅ Measuring an Open Frame:
- Follow the same 3-point process for width and height
- Account for floor thickness (e.g. carpets or tiles)
- Use the narrowest measurements as your final size
- Measure door thickness depending on installation:
- Exterior door: Measure wall depth from sheetrock to outer sheeting
- Interior door: Measure from sheetrock to sheetrock
🚪 Hinge Direction – Left or Right?
To determine which side hinge you need:
- Stand facing the door so it opens towards you
- Hinges on the left? Order a left-hinged door
- Hinges on the right? Order a right-hinged door
📌 Always double-check your measurements — “Measure twice, order once” still holds true!
