Classic French doors with modern performance
Bring more light into your home and create easy access to the garden with made-to-measure uPVC French doors, professionally supplied and installed across Brighton, Hove and Sussex. The traditional two-door design combines generous glazing with modern security, thermal performance and low-maintenance uPVC frames.
Simple, elegant and easy to live with
French doors use two hinged door leaves that meet in the centre. Depending on the chosen configuration and the available space, they can be designed to open inwards or outwards.
Opening one leaf provides convenient everyday access, while opening both creates a wider connection between the room and the garden, patio or terrace. Their balanced appearance makes them equally at home on traditional properties and modern extensions.
Sussex Window Works supplies and installs uPVC French doors throughout Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area, with each set professionally surveyed before the final manufacturing specification is confirmed.
A classic garden opening with practical modern benefits
French doors combine a familiar two-door design with generous glazing, flexible access and the everyday benefits of modern uPVC.
Classic styling
Balanced twin doors create a timeless appearance that works well with both period homes and contemporary extensions.
Easy garden access
Use one leaf for everyday access or open both when you want a wider connection to the garden, patio or terrace.
Modern security
Modern locking hardware and an appropriate door specification provide security while retaining the traditional French-door opening style.
Thermal performance
Modern uPVC frames and energy-efficient glazing can help reduce heat loss and improve comfort compared with many older doors.
Colour options
Choose from white and a range of coloured or wood-effect finishes, depending on the door system and specification selected.
Low maintenance
uPVC is straightforward to clean and does not require the regular sanding and repainting associated with painted timber doors.
French doors designed around your property
Every set is made for the individual opening. During the survey we can consider opening direction, frame colour, glazing, threshold requirements and the surrounding floor and external levels before the final specification is confirmed.
Choose the details that suit your home
Opening direction, colour, glazing and threshold can all be considered around the property and the way you want to use the doors.
Opening Direction
Depending on the property and available space, French doors can often be configured to open inwards or outwards.
Frame Colours
White remains a popular choice, with coloured and wood-effect finishes also available depending on the selected system.
Thresholds
Threshold requirements can be considered during survey around access, weathering and the internal and external floor levels.
Glazing
Clear glazing maximises daylight and views, while privacy or decorative glazing can be considered where appropriate.
French doors aren't the only way to open up the garden
The best garden door depends on the width of the opening, the space available around it and how you want the doors to operate. If you're not sure which style is right, compare French doors with our other uPVC door options.
uPVC Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors are particularly useful where you want a large glazed area without door leaves swinging into the room or garden.

uPVC French door FAQs
Are uPVC French doors energy efficient?
Modern uPVC French doors use contemporary frame systems and energy-efficient glazing that can help reduce heat loss compared with many older doors. Exact thermal performance depends on the selected frame, glass and overall door specification.
Are uPVC French doors secure?
Modern uPVC French door systems can incorporate multi-point locking and appropriate security hardware. Overall security depends on the complete door specification, including the frame, glazing, locks, hardware and correct installation.
Can French doors open outwards?
Yes. French doors can often be configured to open outwards, which can preserve usable space inside the room. Inward-opening configurations may also be possible. The best arrangement depends on the opening and surrounding space.
What is the difference between French doors and patio doors?
French doors use two hinged leaves and can provide a wide opening when both are open. Patio doors slide rather than swing, making them useful where floor or garden space around the opening is more limited. The best choice depends on the property, opening width and how you want to use the space.
Can I choose the colour of uPVC French doors?
Yes. Alongside classic white, coloured and wood-effect finishes are available. The exact colour range depends on the uPVC door system selected.
Do uPVC French doors need much maintenance?
uPVC French doors are relatively low maintenance. Routine cleaning of the frames and glass, together with normal care of the seals, hinges, locking hardware and drainage areas, helps keep the doors operating correctly.
Do you install uPVC French doors in Brighton and Hove?
Yes. Sussex Window Works supplies and installs uPVC French doors throughout Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area, including surrounding towns and villages.
