Thanks to a recent surge in searches relating to uPVC French doors, we’ve had a lot of questions asking for advice on style vs practicality of this classic patio door type. Many people are now considering affordable uPVC French doors for home renovation, but wonder whether they will suit their property, in both looks and functionality. That’s why we thought it was a good time to delve further into the best uPVC French doors in South Wales, and how to choose the right design for you.
What are uPVC French doors?
Originating in 16th century France, this style of door has maintained its popularity in homes up and down the UK thanks to the amount of light that they can let into a property. The doors most often come in pairs, and look much like a window, with glazing extending throughout the full length. Unlike sliding doors which can often only be opened 50% at a time, uPVC French doors will open in the traditional manner, which allows for a wider opening space.
The benefits of uPVC French doors
French doors are still a remarkably popular option as they can work just as well in modern homes as they do in period or traditional style properties. They are also seen as a very secure option thanks to their smaller glass panels and larger frames, coupled with high-security locking systems. French doors can add style, interest and value to your property. This is because these doors are extremely versatile, and they can even be used as an interior feature of the home, as well as an external door.
The amount of light and air that uPVC French doors let into a home allows you to enjoy a blend of the outdoors indoors, creating a beautiful living environment at all times of the year. They can provide easy garden access thanks to low thresholds and can be made to be both energy efficient and chic.
Inwards or outwards opening: the great debate
Many people question whether French doors are right for their home, as traditionally they should open outwards. This is to save space within the home and to avoid obstructing any furniture placement, but in an increasing number of properties, it is the outside space that is the most limited, and so this is not always the most practical option.
