What are French Doors?

French doors are a type of door that is made up of two halves, each of which open separately. These types of doors usually have two smaller doors that open outwards from the centre in unison, as well as glass panels along the sides. They can be used as access points or can be left open for larger openings with fewer obstructions.

There are many types of French doors available on the market depending on your preferences and your budget. They can also be installed in certain rooms such as an office, kitchen or bedroom.

French doors provide the ideal combination of easy access and maximum natural light for your rooms. They also allow for more flexible arrangement of interior spaces, and can be fitted with a lock for added security.

How do I know if I need to replace my French Doors?

Doors not closing properly

If you have an older original set of French doors that aren’t closing properly when they should, or they don’t close at all, there can be several reasons. In Ace Glazing Brighton’s vast experience, the most common reason for French doors not closing properly is when they are installed too tightly. Another reason might be that the hinges are loose or not correctly attached.

Latches not working

If you ever had this happen to your French door, you know exactly how frustrating it can be and your best solution may be a replacement.

Loose hinges causing the doors to drop

This could mean one or more of the hinges has lost tension, is excessively worn, allows for movement of the door, or connections to the wall frame may need tightening. Loose hinges are a common and potentially dangerous problem. Both adults and children could hurt themselves when a French door drops onto their foot!

Handles getting stuck

We know how frustrating it can be when your French door handles get jammed. Over time there can be dry rot and weathering, the strain on the lock can become too much and things can become ‘stuck’ for whatever reason. If the lock is getting jammed, you will need to take that into consideration for your replacement.

A gap between the doors

The problem exists in many other buildings such as older bungalows, apartment blocks, and even new housing. The gaps can be caused by a faulty frame, opening or joining of the units that make up a double door. A gap in the door will cause draughts to blow into your home.

If you are experiencing any or all of these problems, they are clear signs that your door needs replacing. Call 01273 257 599 to speak to the expert French door replacers in Brighton.

Why Replace your French Doors?

Improved energy efficiency

You can improve your home’s energy efficiency and save money on your heating and cooling bills. Fully glazed French doors will allow in natural light while significantly reducing drafts, all without sacrificing curb appeal. French doors are an excellent option for any home but especially for those who live in areas where insulation is a real issue.

To allow more natural light into the home

French doors are the most efficient way of bringing natural light into any room. They open up your interior space to the outside world and let in more light. If your home needs a lot of natural light, a French door is a great choice. They’ll let you enjoy the space outside while still giving you privacy and protection from the elements.

Noise reduction

French doors are highly popular for their stylish, ornate, and elegant look. But what many people don’t realize is that they also come with excellent thermal qualities and can reduce noise. French doors provide a solid buffer to help reduce noise from outside. This makes it a great choice for areas that are prone to excess street noise, such as apartments or other buildings with no insulation between floors, windows, or walls.

Because they are old or broken

So you’ve got an older French door that’s been around the block a few times. And while it’s always been there when you needed it to open, something about its age or the fact that’s been broken a couple of times makes you wonder if it’s time to go in search of a replacement. Luckily for you, Ace Glazing Brighton is here with all the tools needed to help you choose a new French door.

Security

French doors can be more secure than other doors, and can help to prevent forced entry. Today’s French doors are manufactured with a range of security features, allowing you to choose a solution that perfectly meets your needs. Security options include the ability to add locks to each door, toughened glass or laminated glass all around the inside of the frame.

Aesthetics

French doors are a good option for adding a touch of elegance to your home. Aesthetically, the horizontal design of French doors can complement the look of your home and allow for a sense of grandeur when opened.

Improved durability

French doors are very strong and can withstand a lot of force from both sides. French doors are featured in some of the most affluent homes, due to their strength and their unique style.

The innovative design of the Ace French Windows is specifically designed to cater for a wide variety of properties including Georgian, Victorian, Tudor and many others. The ultimate solution to improving the look and value of your home – all at an affordable price.

What do I need to do to prepare my home for the replacement of my French doors?

Preparation is key to your success when replacing French doors. Should you choose to not replace the lintel and only change the doors and sidelights, you will need your lintel confirmed as load-bearing or non-load bearing by a structural engineer. If the lintel is not load-bearing, then it must be supported by posts located behind the brickwork around the opening – remember to leave clearance for this.

Some openings could already have posts supporting the lintel should you not wish to add more. You can contact our customer care team for some further advice on how to prepare your home for the replacement of your French doors.

Can I replace a Sliding Glass door with French doors?

Yes, you can replace a sliding glass door with French doors. How this is done depends on the door opening that you want to achieve.

To make everything hassle-free, contact Ace Glazing Brighton for your French door replacement.
