French Doors

PVCu French doors

Thermaframe French doors are double-glazed and sealed to keep your home warm and draft-free.

French doors are the traditional way to bring the outside, inside. With two opening doors, French doors provide a large opening area, ideal in the Summer when they provide extra ventilation and easy access to the garden. By adding energy efficient glass, it is possible to create French doors which provide much better thermal insulation than older-style patio or timber doors.

PVCu French door profiles

Thermaframe offer two types of French door profile, Bevelled and Ovolo.

Bevelled Frame

Our bevelled frame has a flat neat profile which creates a clean look to your French doors and offers more visible glass and less PVCu frame. This allows a vast amount of extra light into your home. It is ideal for a wide range of properties in particular 1920's buildings and modern new builds.

Ovolo Frame

The Ovolo frame has a more rounded profile ideal for conservatories and larger French doors where the amount of light is not an issue for you. The traditional frame size also comes with in a wide range of colours and finishes to ensure that your doors fit perfectly with both the inside and outside of your home.

  • Glazing Options

    Thermaframe offer a vast selection of glass options for your French doors. Choose from low emission, energy efficient glass, Georgian bars or leaded glass in diamond or square patterns with authentic solder joints.

    Decorative coloured or bevelled fan lights are also available which can be designed to match your windows.

  • Low emission approved by BBA

    Low Emission Glass

    Thermaframe supply a full range of Low-E glass with laminated and tempered glass options to provide safety and security where needed. Low-E glass was once an optional extra, but is now a standard option when installing windows and doors in the main dwelling of your home since it became compliant in April 1st 2002. As members of FENSA (The industry Gold Standard for Building Regulations compliance in replacement windows and doors), we follow their strict requirements on all replacement window and door installations. We also have 3-4 random inspections a month by the BBA (British Board of Agrément) to ensure the correct glass is being used.

    Benefits of Low-E Glass

    Low-E glass provides colour neutrality in both reflection and transmission giving the window a natural appearance and maintaining the natural colours of everything seen through the glass or reflected in it. Most Low-E glass offered by our competitors has a yellow appearance to it, leaving your net curtains looking stained, and tarnished. With the uniformity provided by Low-E glass there are also no unsightly banding effects within the glass panels.

    Low-E glass is a fantastic way of reducing energy bills as it provides excellent thermal insulation with U values down to 1.4 W/m2K (when gas filled). It allows high light and solar heat transmittance for the best use of natural lighting and beneficial solar heat gain.

    NB: It is not compliant yet in conservatories or porches although it can be added as an optional extra.

    For an example of how good this glass looks, visit our showroom to see the differences for yourself.

The Ovolo Georgian bar is designed with a more rounded profile that suits the Ovolo frame.

  • Leaded Glass options

    Leaded Glass

    Lead is used to add style, character and authenticity to your new windows and doors. The lead is blackened at factory prior to fitting your new windows and doors to give the lead that darkened, aged look. This technique gives great authenticity to your installation and ensures that the lead on the inside of your property remains the same colour as the lead on the outside. Soldered joints are an optional extra that also gives you that real antique look. Lead is available in 4mm, 6mm, 9mm and the traditional 12mm widths.
