Beautiful gardens and terraces need not be hidden behind walls. Turn your home and garden into one continuous space with French windows or French doors. They offer an easy way of adding light, views and the feeling of more space to any room. Available in all RAL colours, a variety of profile types and four different materials, French windows never go out of style for a good reason. Whether you are looking to add something simple or extraordinary, Neuffer can custom build a bespoke solution for your home.
French Windows & Doors: Overview & Advantages
French doors and windows come in sets of two leafs or casements, which swing inwards or outwards on hinges in the same way any simple door would. Each side features a large glazed surface allowing plenty of natural light in and creating great views. Having a door on both sides, they offer a larger uninterrupted opening area which is ideal for balconies, bedrooms and patios.
Advantages include:
- Stunning views and more natural light
- Ideal for smaller installation spaces
- Tilt and turn functionality available
- Improved ventilation
- Optional glazing bars to match historical styles (e.g. Georgian)
- Faster and simpler to use than sliding doors in high traffic areas
- Open the entire available space in contrast to sliding options
Custom Options and Materials
Your choice of options begins with the frame material and continues to style, glazing, finish, colours and fittings. Non-standard shapes such as arches are available and glazing bars can be integrated for a more traditional look. On the other hand, minimal, aluminium clad options can create a sleek contemporary look.
We offer two main materials, timber and uPVC as either stand alone or aluminium clad. Each option offers a different set of features.
UPVC is well suited to those with a restricted budget while still offering most of the same customisation options. Timber features great insulation and strength without additional reinforcement, foam or internal chambers. It provides a traditional and natural look for any home while requiring a bit more upkeep than other materials. We offer a wide selection of hardwoods and softwoods including oak, cherry, larch, meranti and more.
Aluminium cladding represents the best of both worlds. For those on a stricter budget, aluclad uPVC provides solid security, durability, insulation and aesthetics at a great price. For the ultimate bespoke solution and premium aesthetics, aluclad timber frames are second to none. They feature a sleek modern look outside and excellent weather resistance. This means little upkeep over the years while retaining the cosy look of timber indoors.
