Double Glazing Options
Buy external French doors to enjoy the charm and appeal of elegant glass panels. The glazed panels draw the eye from indoors to outdoors, creating a natural flow between your home and garden. Some designs also include optional side panels to expand the glazed area and let in more light. Direct Doors’ French door range is available with a variety of glazing choices, from fully glazed panels to clear glass:
Clear glass: Toughened glass that allows more natural light in and creates a bright, open feel.
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 Exterior French Doors
Before purchasing French doors for your living space, homeowners should 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 inward or outward. They often feature large glazed areas (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 fresh air and natural light into your home.
Will French patio doors improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Many well-designed French double doors are highly energy-efficient, depending on the materials, glazing, and thermal breaks used.
For example, our 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 exterior French doors include a guarantee?
Yes, all of our external French doors come with a guarantee. However, the exact terms vary by product. Most French doors include a 12-month guarantee, assuming you follow the correct decoration and maintenance practices. Our warranty also covers doors such as:
French Door products must be fully decorated, including all edges and cut-outs, before final installation to prevent the guarantee from being affected. Please note that all “special orders” cannot be refunded or cancelled.
