With a wide range of options, French doors from windows24.com are bespoke, high-quality products where properties can differ to suit requirements depending on the material selected.
Many different types of timber, from hardwood oak and softwood spruce to tropical meranti or eucalyptus, are available to choose from for external French doors at windows24.com. Sustainably sourced and with unique woodgrain patterns, these doors bring a traditional charm and robust stability. Although increased upkeep is needed if no external cladding is added, when correctly maintained and oiled, timber French patio doors create a beautiful natural transition out into gardens and can be enjoyed for years to come.
Although oak is a popular classic option for external doors, it provides slightly less insulation than the modern materials used in a grey uPVC French door, for example. Innovative triple pane glass used in external timber door window panels can however provide a solution, ensuring that the products remain energy-efficient. A thin, invisible low-E coating of metal oxide can then also be applied. This is particularly ideal for homes in warm sunny climates, which aim to maintain cool interiors, as it reflects solar UV and infra-red radiation away from buildings.
