Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between aluminium French doors and bifold doors?
French doors hinge open in the centre — you get a maximum opening equal to the width of both leaves. Bifolds fold back to one or both sides and give a wider unobstructed opening, but cost more and have heavier hardware. French doors are usually best for openings under 1.8m wide.
How wide can aluminium French doors be?
Standard aluminium French door sets typically go up to about 1.8m wide. For wider openings, add glazed sidelights or step up to a bifold or sliding door.
Are aluminium French doors more secure?
Yes — modern aluminium French doors come with multi-point locks, anti-lift hinges and toughened safety glass as standard, plus PAS 24 security-rated options.
