French Doors

French doors are a stylish way to bring natural light into your home and create a smooth connection to your garden, patio, or balcony. At Accolade Windows, we supply high-quality designs from Deceuninck (uPVC) and Smart Systems (aluminium), offering secure, energy-efficient performance in a wide range of colours and styles to suit any New Forest home.

At Accolade Windows, our French doors come with multi-point locking systems, toughened glazing, and reinforced frames. Whether you choose uPVC or aluminium, your doors will meet high security standards. Lymington homeowners can upgrade to PAS 24 for enhanced protection.

Yes, both uPVC and aluminium French doors can be installed with low-level threshold options. These are ideal for step-free access between your home and garden, particularly useful for families, older homeowners, or anyone with mobility needs.

Yes, modern French doors are highly energy-efficient. uPVC doors feature multi-chambered profiles that reduce heat loss, while aluminium options often include polyamide thermal breaks to prevent cold bridging. When paired with double or triple glazing, both materials can achieve excellent U-values, helping to keep your Hampshire & Dorset home warm and reduce energy bills.

Not at all. uPVC doors simply need an occasional wipe-down to stay clean and bright, while aluminium doors are resistant to rust and fading, requiring very little upkeep. Hinges and locks should be lubricated periodically to ensure everything operates smoothly.
