- French Doors
Installing French doors is one of the most effective ways to transform your home in Coulsdon, Surrey or London by seamlessly blending your interior living space with your garden. At Glitz Windows, we supply high-quality French doors that combine traditional British style with modern performance.
Whether you are looking to replace existing patio doors or finish off a new extension in Coulsdon, Surrey, or London. We offer French doors designed for style, security and energy efficiency.
What Are French Doors?
French doors feature two glazed panels that open from the centre, creating a wide and elegant opening to your garden. Unlike sliding patio doors, French doors make full use of the door opening, allowing maximum ventilation and airflow. At Glitz Windows, we help you choose the right French doors to suit your home.
Energy Efficiency & Thermal Performance
Energy efficiency is more important than ever for UK homeowners. Our doors are specifically designed to meet and, in some cases, exceed current UK building regulations, as set out in Document L.
Our doors feature double glazing, with options for triple glazing, using Low-E glass and gas-filled panels. This technology reflects heat back into your home when you need it in the winter and helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature during summer.

Our Range of French Door Materials
The first aspect we discuss with every individual is material selection. There is no right or wrong material, as this depends on your house, your budget and your personal style.
uPVC French Doors
uPVC is a popular choice thanks to its low maintenance, strong thermal performance, and affordability. French doors made of uPVC have come a long way in design and are now available in a variety of colours and woodgrain finishes. They are available in a wide range of colours and woodgrain finishes. uPVC French doors in Coulsdon are a great choice if you want a high-performance door without the high cost.
Aluminium French Doors
If you are looking for something a bit modern and contemporary, then aluminium is the answer. Not only are the frames slimmer, but you also get more glass and more light. Aluminium is very strong, which means that the door panels can be made larger without compromising on strength. Not only that, but it is also very durable and will not warp, rot, or corrode over time. A number of our customers in Surrey and London choose aluminium for their rear extensions and kitchen projects.
Timber French Doors
Timber is a classic choice in door materials and is difficult to beat in terms of aesthetics. It is a popular choice for older homes and homes where a natural look is a must. It is more maintenance-intensive than uPVC and Aluminium, but in some homes, there is no better choice.
Composite French Doors
Composite doors combine the look of timber with the low-maintenance benefits of modern materials. They are becoming increasingly popular, especially for homes in areas where planning requirements ask for a more traditional appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the cost of French doors?
The cost of French doors differs depending on the material used; uPVC is generally cheaper than aluminium. The size of the opening is also an important factor, as well as any customisation requirements such as the addition of Georgian bars or the inclusion of blinds. We offer free quotes to give you an exact price for your specific project.
Are French doors as secure as bifold doors?
Yes, they are, although they are designed differently; they both have high-security multi-point locking systems and safety glass. French doors have a very robust design with a ‘master leaf’ and ‘slave leaf.’
Do I need permission to install new French Doors?
In most cases, replacing existing windows or doors does not require planning permission as it falls under “Permitted Development.” However, if you are in a conservation area or a listed building in London or Surrey, we recommend checking with your local council. We can help advise you on this during our initial survey.
How long does patio door installation take?
Yes, you can. If you have a wider opening than standard-sized doors, you can have side panels fitted to match your new doors. This gives a fantastic “wall of glass” look and lets in more light into your home.
