uPVC French Doors

uPVC French doors are a great option for creating better connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Thanks to the door's design features, French Doors allow easy access from the indoors to outdoors, allowing users to significantly increase visibility of and access to gardens on a traditional property or terrace.

The security features of uPVC French doors are integral for homeowners in Dorset to consider when selecting a door for their property. Installing a quality, toughened glazing is essential as it offers greater protection against break-ins than regular glass and significantly reduces the risk of injury from broken glass.

Steel reinforcement further ensures strength, durability and stability while also making forced entry more difficult. For enhanced home security, multi-point locking systems can be installed on the doors with stainless steel 6 point locking devices which secure each side of the frame at three separate points – top, centre and bottom - often used in combination with an anti-lift latch.

uPVC French doors in Dorset can come with a thermally insulated profile. This consists of an outer layer of uPVC that has been reinforced with steel, along with several chambers and insulating foam on the inside.

This allows the door to provide improved insulation, helping to keep heat out during summer and retain it during winter. The energy efficiency of these doors is measured by its ‘U value’ – the lower this number is, the less air leakage there will be around the window or door frame resulting in better thermal performance.

uPVC French doors offer homeowners many environmental benefits thanks to their energy-efficiency. Featuring high-tech glass technology, which provides excellent insulation and protection from heat and cold, these doors can help reduce heat loss by up to 30%, leading to substantial energy savings.
