External Timber French Doors UK
Timber French Doors
Our timber French doors combine elegant proportions, dependable performance and the refined detailing expected from premium British timber joinery. Designed for both traditional homes and contemporary architecture, they provide stylish access to gardens, patios and balconies while bringing generous natural light into the interior and strengthening the connection between inside and out.
With nearly 30 years of manufacturing expertise, we produce bespoke timber French doors for homeowners, architects and developers across the UK and Ireland. Whether specified for a period property, a high-end renovation or a modern extension, our external timber French doors are made to deliver lasting durability, smooth operation and the level of finish expected in high-specification residential projects.
Each set features two operable sashes, a movable mullion and the option of sidelights or top lights, making the system equally suitable for rear entrances, garden access and principal external doors. Doors can be supplied fully glazed or with insulated timber panels, allowing the overall design to be tailored to both the architecture of the property and the practical requirements of the project.
Built with carefully engineered timber sections, secure hardware, high-performance glazing and premium weatherseals, our timber French doors offer a balanced combination of traditional character, modern comfort and everyday reliability.
Standard construction
This carefully developed construction ensures reliable insulation, accurate sash alignment and long-term durability, while preserving the elegant appearance expected from bespoke timber French doors.
Opening Configurations for
External Timber French Doors
Our timber French doors are available in a range of opening configurations to suit both traditional and contemporary homes.
Doors can be manufactured to open inwards or outwards and supplied as single or double door sets, depending on the layout and practical requirements of the project. For wider glazed elevations, they can also be combined with sidelights or toplights, increasing daylight and helping to create a more generous and balanced appearance.
Fixed sections can be supplied as direct-glazed units or dummy sashes, allowing consistent sightlines to be maintained across the full assembly. This flexibility makes our external timber French doors well suited to both period-style joinery schemes and more contemporary glazed openings.
Glazing Options for
Timber French Doors
Selecting the right glazing for timber French doors is essential for safety, comfort, energy performance and compliance with UK and Irish building standards.
Our French doors are supplied as standard with toughened safety glass to reduce the risk of injury in everyday use. All glazing can be specified to meet Part K impact-safety requirements and, where necessary, Part Q requirements for enhanced security.
For projects requiring additional protection, laminated glazing can be specified to improve resistance to forced entry, making it particularly suitable for ground-floor and more vulnerable locations. For homes exposed to strong sunlight, solar-control glass helps reduce solar gain without compromising natural daylight. Acoustic glazing is also available to reduce external noise in busy or urban environments.
For added privacy or decorative character, we also offer ornamental glass and traditional stained-glass units, allowing each French door set to be tailored to the style of the property and the needs of the project.
Hardware for
Timber French Doors
Our timber French doors are equipped with a high-performance hardware system selected for strength, stability and long-term everyday reliability.
Each door set features MACO heavy-duty hinges adjustable in three planes, ensuring precise installation, smooth sash movement and dependable structural alignment over time. This is particularly important in external timber French doors, where accurate hinge adjustment contributes directly to weather performance, ease of use and lasting durability.
For security, every set includes a FUHR 5-point multipoint locking system, engineered in Germany to provide strong perimeter locking and a high level of resistance to forced entry. This specification supports the security expectations associated with premium timber French doors installed in homes across the UK and Ireland.
Together, these components create a hardware system that combines robust performance with the refined operation expected from high-quality external timber doors.
Handles for
Timber French Doors
Our timber French doors are fitted with proven FAB & FIX Balmoral handles, widely used in high-specification entrance and garden doors throughout the British market.
Manufactured from durable aluminium alloy, the Balmoral range offers excellent corrosion resistance, tactile quality and long-term mechanical reliability. Handles are available in polished chrome, brass, satin chrome, black and white, making it easy to coordinate the ironmongery with both traditional and contemporary door designs.
All handle variants are fully compatible with our multipoint locking systems, ensuring smooth operation, secure engagement and the premium finish expected from bespoke timber French doors.
Low Aluminium Threshold for
Timber French Doors
Our timber French doors are fitted with the Exitex low aluminium threshold, one of the most trusted threshold systems for external timber doors in the UK market.
Designed for high weather performance, it provides reliable protection against water ingress, improved airtightness and long-term structural durability, even in more exposed British and Irish conditions. At the same time, the low-profile design allows smooth and safe access, making it especially practical for everyday use.
Thresholds are available in silver or gold finishes, allowing the detail to be coordinated with the selected hardware and the overall architectural style of the property.
Premium Timber
for French Doors
Our timber French doors are crafted from FSC-certified hardwoods and softwoods selected for strength, stability and long service life in exterior joinery.
We offer a carefully chosen range of timber species, including pine, larch, spruce, meranti and Accoya®. Each offers its own visual and technical qualities, allowing the finished door set to be tailored to the architectural and practical requirements of the project.
To improve resistance to moisture, wear and daily foot traffic, every French door is engineered with a hardwood sill section as standard, regardless of the timber used for the frame or leaves. This important construction detail enhances weather protection, structural integrity and overall lifespan.
Paint and Finishing Systems for
Timber French Doors
The finish applied to a timber French door is essential not only to its appearance, but also to its long-term durability in the British and Irish climate.
All of our timber French doors are coated with high-performance Remmers exterior finishing systems, developed to provide excellent resistance to UV exposure, moisture and weathering. Clients can choose from the full RAL palette, as well as premium colours from Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, allowing the doors to complement both classic and contemporary architecture.
For a more natural appearance, we also offer tinted stains that enhance the timber grain, together with Natural Effect coatings that recreate the look of raw timber while maintaining full exterior protection. Dual-colour finishing is also available, allowing different tones to be specified internally and externally.
Every door undergoes a multi-stage finishing process that includes deep impregnation, industrial priming and hydrodynamic spray application. This ensures long-lasting colour stability, refined surface quality and the premium finish expected from external timber French doors of high quality.
Glazing Bar Options for
Timber French Doors
Our timber French doors can be fitted with a range of glazing bar solutions, allowing the design to be tailored to both traditional and contemporary architectural settings.
Available options include 20 mm and 24 mm astragal bars with duplex spacers, creating an authentic divided-light appearance while maintaining the thermal performance of the insulating glass unit. For projects requiring deeper sightlines or greater visual weight, structural glazing bars can also be specified to provide additional rigidity and a more substantial architectural expression.
Traditional leaded patterns and decorative stained-glass units are also available for heritage projects or more design-led installations. Beyond standard layouts, we manufacture bespoke glazing bar arrangements that allow French doors to replicate complex historic patterns or create a more distinctive visual statement.
Additional Options
and Trickle Ventilation
Our timber French doors can be enhanced with a range of additional features to meet project-specific requirements for ventilation, detailing and performance.
A TITON flush trickle vent is available to provide discreet background ventilation in line with UK Building Regulations, helping to preserve clean sightlines while supporting indoor air quality. For added weather protection and more refined detailing, we also offer head drips, transom drips and a selection of frame and mullion mouldings.
Doors can additionally be specified with raised and fielded timber panels in 46 mm or 24 mm thicknesses, allowing the set to reflect more traditional joinery aesthetics while maintaining excellent structural stability. For period and heritage-inspired designs, arched top rails and step-arched top rails are also available, providing characterful shaping consistent with classic British door architecture.
