At Astoria Windows, we offer uPVC French doors, aluminium French doors and timber French doors, available in a variety of colours and authentic wood‑effect finishes, allowing each design to be tailored to your home’s character.

French doors offer a wide range of design options and suit both contemporary and heritage styles thanks to their balanced proportions and slim frame design. Depending on the material you choose, doors can be finished in a carefully selected range of colours, along with authentic wood‑effect finishes that replicate the appearance of traditional timber.
From modern greys to classic white and heritage‑inspired wood tones, our French door designs can be tailored to complement a variety of property styles. To complete the look, we offer an extensive selection of door furniture, ranging from sleek contemporary handles to more traditional designs, allowing you to personalise your French doors to suit your home and individual preferences.
Although French doors are commonly installed to the rear of a property, security remains a vital consideration. Our replacement French doors are designed with protection in mind and are manufactured using robust materials to help safeguard your home without compromising on style or functionality.
French doors are fitted with advanced multi‑point locking systems as standard, providing secure locking across multiple points of the frame. Glazed panels can also be specified with laminated or toughened safety glass, offering increased resistance against impact and attempted forced entry.
When correctly specified, French doors can be supplied to meet recognised security standards such as PAS 24, giving added reassurance that your home is well protected. By combining strong construction, quality glazing and modern locking technology, our French doors deliver dependable security alongside elegant design.
Colour Options
Our French doors can be finished in over 150+ RAL colours and a number of traditional timber effects, ensuring a design that can complement any type of property. You can also choose a dual colour option, so that the exterior and interior frame are different colours.

Upgrading to modern replacement French doors is an effective way to improve comfort within the home and reduce heat loss throughout the year. Our external French doors are designed with thermal performance in mind, helping to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature in both warmer and colder months.
Manufactured with advanced sealing systems, French doors are designed to limit draughts and prevent unwanted cold air from entering the home. Depending on the material and specification chosen, doors can be fitted with high‑performance double or triple glazing, further supporting improved insulation and reducing heat transfer.
Once installed, many homeowners notice a reduction in cold spots and a more comfortable living environment. By helping to reduce heat loss and improve overall efficiency, replacement French doors can contribute to lower energy usage over time, making them a practical choice for those looking to enhance comfort while supporting more efficient energy use within the home.
Not being completely sure whether your doors are locked can be an unnecessary worry. Available as an optional upgrade on our French doors, the Kubu Smart Lock is designed to provide reassurance by allowing you to check the status of your doors wherever you are.
Using Kubu’s easy‑to‑use smartphone app, you can monitor your French doors in real time, confirming whether they are locked or unlocked at any time of day. This simple, discreet technology offers added confidence whether you’re at home, at work or away, helping you feel assured that your property remains secure around the clock.
The main difference between French doors and patio doors is how they open. French doors typically consist of two hinged door panels that open either inwards or outwards from the centre, creating a wide, symmetrical opening.
Patio doors, on the other hand, operate on a sliding track system, with one panel sliding behind the other to create the opening. French doors are often chosen for their classic appearance and full opening width, while patio doors are ideal where space is limited and a sliding option is preferred.
The cost of French doors depends on a number of factors, including the material, size, glazing specification, colour finish and choice of hardware. Because French doors are made to measure, pricing is tailored to suit your specific requirements.
To receive an accurate quotation, it’s best to speak with a French door specialist who can advise on suitable options for your home and provide a detailed price based on your chosen specification.
Yes, French doors can be designed to open either inwards or outwards. The direction they open will usually depend on your available space and personal preference. Outward‑opening French doors are often selected to maximise internal space, while inward‑opening doors may be chosen where external space is limited or where access paths need to be kept clear.
