Door Face: Quality Timber Finishes
Our range features premium timber finishes to complement both traditional and contemporary styles at affordable prices:
-
Hemlock: A lighter material that creates a subtle, classic look, which you can stain or paint to your preference.
-
Aluminium: Direct Doors’ aluminium (AluVu) French door sets deliver a sleek, modern alternative with excellent durability.
Because veneered versions tend to delaminate without proper care, we exclusively use solid laminated timber.
Multiple Glazing Options
Direct Doors’ French door range is available with a variety of glazing choices, from fully glazed panels to clear glass:
-
Clear Glass: Allows more natural light in and creates a bright, open feel. Some designs also include optional side panels to expand the glazed area and let in more light.
-
Double Glazing: Double-glazed French doors work as a natural insulator, serving as a cost-effective way to enhance energy efficiency while reducing noise.

FAQs about our French Doors
Before purchasing French doors for your living space, consider the following common questions.
What’s the Difference between French Doors and Bifold Doors?
French doors typically feature two full-height hinged or casement-style panels that swing open or slide. They often feature large glazed areas (single, double or triple glazing) and their classic design is suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
In contrast, bifold doors incorporate multiple hinged panels that fold and slide along tracks. Offering modern functionality, they are ideal for very wide openings, allowing maximum fresh air into your home.
Are French Double Doors Energy Efficient?
Yes. Many well-designed French double doors are highly energy-efficient, depending on the materials, glazing, and thermal breaks used.
For example, Direct Doors’ AluVu external French patio door sets include a thermal break in their aluminium profile to reduce heat transfer. These double French doors use toughened low-E double-glazed units to obtain a U-Value of 1.2 W/m²K and improve home security.
Do Your External French Doors Have a Guarantee?
Yes, all of our external French doors come with a guarantee. However, the exact terms vary by product. Most French doors come with a 12-month guarantee, assuming you follow the correct decoration and maintenance practices.
French Door products must be fully decorated, including all edges and cut-outs, prior to final installation to prevent the guarantee from being affected. Please note that all “special orders” can’t be refunded or cancelled.
For full details, please refer to each product page and consult our Terms & Conditions.
