Timber French Doors

Our secure and stylish timber French Doors are handcrafted from the highest quality FSC-certified renewable wood.

With weatherproofing, multi-point locks and double glazing, these stylish timber doors offer quick access, security and thermal efficiency, as well as valuable light and garden flow. Tailored for heritage properties, we also offer single and slimline glazing options to meet strict guidelines. Nine Zero French Doors open inwards or outwards for versatile use, and you can also choose which door opens first.

What are French doors?

French doors are a timeless architectural feature known for their double-door configuration, classic proportions, and elegant glazed panels. Traditionally made from timber, they consist of two matching doors that open from the centre, either inward or outward, offering a grand yet graceful way to access the outdoors.

Often installed at the rear of a property, French doors are a popular choice for garden-facing living rooms, dining areas, kitchen extensions, and even upper-floor balconies. Their glazed design maximises natural light, enhances sightlines, and fosters a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces.

For period properties or homes with classic architecture, theyโ€™re a perfect way to maintain authenticity while enhancing usability and comfort.
