Textured woodgrains and smooth finishes
You can pretty much have UPVC coloured in any finish you can think of at TWC. It’s thanks to our specially developed paint application process that we can do that and create even the most unique colours.
Powder-coated finishes that last
The exceptional finishes you see on our French doors can be put down to the 11-stage powder-coating process we stick to. This process is what gives the colour such depth and detail. For our aluminium woodgrain finishes we use a separate process called sublimation.
Doors rely on quality handles
The finishing details play an important role in defining the character of a French door, and the handle is one of the most noticeable features. A well-designed handle adds both elegance and functionality to the door’s overall appearance.

Common questions about French doors
Helpful answers before you decide.
Create a classically elegant entrance with our range of French doors. If you’re still not sure if this door style is right for you, our team are on hand to answer any questions you have. We’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions to get you started.
1. What is the difference between French doors and patio doors?
Your stereotypical French door has two hinged panels that swing out when pushed open and collect together again as they’re closed. Operating a patio door is done in a slightly different fashion, requiring a gentle push along a horizontal track to establish an opening.
2. How do I know if French doors are right for me?
With a French door needing to swing open, sufficient external space is required to accommodate the design. Used most frequently for indoor-outdoor transitions, French doors generously bathe interiors with natural light not just whilst open but when closed too thanks to their prolonged glass panels.
3. Where can I add French doors to my home?
In the majority of French door installations, they offer an entranceway and passage towards outdoor spaces, for seamless exchanges into the garden. Sometimes, it sees their integration into conservatories, but they’re also suitable for internal use to connect adjoining rooms.
4. Are French doors secure?
We don’t want anyone to become the next victim of theft, constructing French doors with ingrained security, including a complex multi-point locking system. As the lock engages at various points, it significantly reduces the threat of forced entries.
5. How energy efficient are French doors?
Insulation is the key to an energy-efficient home, and UPVC French doors excel in reducing heat transference and energy loss and strengthening thermal efficiency. Aluminium shares UPVC’s energy efficient qualities and incorporates thermal break technology to uplift insulation.
6. Can I use French doors in a conservatory?
French doors can be assimilated into new and existing conservatories. Exit in style and marvel at the pizazz of the French door which will have the sun joining you inside the conservatory interior.
7. Do French doors require much maintenance?
French doors are designed to be low maintenance. Regular cleaning of the frames and glass, along with occasional checks of hinges, handles and locks, is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking their best and operating smoothly.
8. Can French doors open inwards or outwards?
Yes. French doors can be configured to open either inwards or outwards, depending on your property’s layout and your preferences. The best option will depend on the available space, access requirements and how you intend to use the room.
