Maximising Sunlight & Ventilation

French doors are popular for their large glass panes that can be opened either inwards or outwards. You can choose which door – right or left – acts as the master door for daily access. This gives you more flexibility in how you use your space while also bringing in more natural light and ventilation.

In many of our projects across Bolton, Lancashire and Manchester, we install these doors to create a direct connection between indoor and outdoor areas. If you have a living room, dining room or kitchen directly to a backyard, patio or balcony, a French door will make it easier to move between. When both leaves are open, they also provide a wider entrance to the garden or patio and let fresh air flow into your home.

We also recommend these doors for dim or narrow spaces including connected terraced properties in Bolton. The extensive glazing allows plenty of natural daylight to flood into the room without compromising on safety. At the same time, large glass panes will let you enjoy a full and wide opening to a garden or patio.

French Doors Designed for Home Security

French doors need more than good looks to keep your home secure. This is why we supply doorsets that meet PAS 24 security requirements and fit TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders to make forced entry more difficult. If someone tries to snap the cylinder, its outer section is designed to break away while keeping the main locking mechanism protected. A shootbolt system also locks the second door in place when both doors are closed, making it harder to force them apart.

Moreover, our French door services across Bolton also include laminated or toughened glass. Laminated glass holds together when broken and makes it harder for intruders to create an opening and reach through to unlock the door. For added security, a multipoint locking system secures the doors at several points along the frame. Together, all these features protect your home against unwanted entry.

French Doors Crafted to Your Home and Style

Our French doors have that classic, aesthetic appeal that suits both period properties and modern new-builds. You can choose a range of colours, from classic white to modern anthracite grey along with woodgrain finishes for a more traditional appearance.

We also offer a unique selection of different beading styles, such as chamfered, ovolo, and sculpted designs.

Chamfered profiles have clean and angled edges that suit contemporary or minimalist homes.
Ovolo designs feature a softer and rounded shape that looks great on period homes, traditional country cottages and conservation areas.
Sculpted profiles have a more decorative finish with intricate, contoured, and flowing lines. Homeowners who prefer a detailed frame will appreciate this style.

You can also personalise the glazing with decorative details such as square lead patterns, clear glass or patterned designs. If you prefer a more traditional appearance, French doors with half-height panels add character to the design while keeping the upper section open to garden views. Our team will also guide you through different frame materials including uPVC, aluminium or timber frame to match your home’s existing windows and overall look. In the end, whether you want a simple, modern look or a style that suits period properties, we have options to match both.

French Door Repairs & Replacements

Have a damaged door or want to replace one as part of renovations? We have 20+ years of experience in repairing French doors and replacing damaged glass or frames that match the existing door’s style, colour and size.

Call us today for repairing stiff hinges, faulty locks, warped, rotted or corroded frames or broken glass. Our team will assess the damaged door and recommend the right repairs to restore it. If only the glass is broken, we can install a new one without replacing the entire frame.

How We Work

When you call us, the team asks a few questions about whether repairs, replacements or new installations are needed. They select a date for free inspection where our door technicians assess your property. They check the doorway, existing frame and help you choose the right style, colour and design for your French door.

We also provide emergency French door repair services in Bolton and nearby areas. If the door is damaged or glass is broken, our team will reach your property quickly. They will board up the door for immediate safety. Then they will take measurements of the damaged door or glass and order a new one in a similar size and style.

When the new glass or door is ready, we will select a date for fitting. Our installers will fit your French doors securely, check that both leaves open and close properly and make sure the locks work as they should. Before leaving, they will hand over the guarantee and Certass certification for qualifying installations.

FAQs

Do you supply and fit French doors in Bolton?

Yes. We supply and fit French doors in a range of styles, colours and frames including timber, uPVC and aluminium. You can also choose from chamfered, ovolo and sculpted designs along with decorative glazing options to suit your home.

How much do French doors cost fitted?

A French door fitting cost depends on many factors such as the door material, size, glazing options and if the frame also needs replacing. For a standard set of exterior French doors supplied and fitted, you can expect around £1,202 to £2,159. However, the price varies as per which frame you choose:

uPVC French doors: £1,250–£2,200
Aluminium French doors: £1,500–£3,900
Timber French doors: £1,650–£3,350+

These prices include the doors and fitting. Our team will give you a custom quotation according to your requirements.

Should I choose French doors, patio doors or bi-fold doors?

That depends on your room size, budget, architectural style and how you want to use your outdoor space. French doors are best if you want maximum sunlight and ventilation. Patio (sliding) doors are a good option when you want to save some space such as in small rooms. On the other hand, bi-fold doors suit wider openings where you want to open up most of the wall to your garden. Our door technicians will survey your property and suggest a suitable French door according to your needs.

Are uPVC, aluminium or composite French doors best?

There is no single best option because each material has its own benefits. uPVC French doors are affordable and easy to maintain. On the other hand, aluminium doors have slim frames for a modern look. Composite doors offer a solid and sturdy design. Reach out today and we will help you find the right choice according to your budget, home style and the features you need.

Can you replace a window with French doors?

Yes. If you want to bring in more natural light and open up access to your garden, we can replace a window with a French door. Depending on the size of the existing opening, the work can involve removing part of the wall and installing a suitable lintel or beam to support the structure above. This may require adequate bearings and padstones depending on the structural design, with all work carried out in line with relevant Building Regulations. Contact us today to arrange an inspection and find out if your property is suitable for this change.

Do French doors open inwards or outwards?

French doors can open both inward and outward. This flexibility makes them an ideal option for homes where making the most of available space is important.

Can French doors have side panels?

Yes. We install French doors with side panels. These are called sidelights or sidelites and give a balanced and symmetrical look to the overall door. They also let in more natural light and expand outdoor views but they do not open like the main door pair.

How long does it take to fit French doors?

The time to install French doors takes 6 to 8 hours. However, it really depends on the door’s size, the frame material, the number of door panels and whether the existing frame needs replacing. The lead time is typically 2 to 6 weeks. Our team will give you a realistic timeframe and complete the project within the agreed time.
