French Doors From Paradise Windows

At Paradise Windows, we’re delighted to offer our high-quality internal and external French doors in Oxford and more widely across the county of Oxfordshire. And, as well as looking stunning, our whole range of replacement doors are durable and highly energy efficient.

These units have a long and proud pedigree and can trace their origins back to France and the seventeenth century Renaissance when aristocrats would install them in their chateaux and grand houses.

Open up your living space with French doors

Whether you choose uPVC French doors or even composite models, French doors can work wonders when it comes to refreshing your home and giving it a new lease of life as you open up your living area and break down barriers with the outdoor world, allowing natural daylight to stream into your property.

At the same time, they make a great choice if you’re replacing existing windows with patio doors. Equally, they’re ideally suited to properties that happen to have less space or smaller patios (i.e. many homes these days).

Another example of where French doors can serve as the ideal replacement for windows is when moving existing patio doors from the kitchen to the living area in a terraced house. This really opens up all available space.

Finding Your Perfect French Doors

At Paradise, we’re perfectly placed to advise on the best patio doors for your situation, whether that’s composite back doors, bi-folding or sliding patio doors. We ensure customers have the best windows and doors for what they need, and to suit their style of property and available budget.

Not only do we offer quotes without charge or obligation, and no hard sell, but you’ll find everyone you deal with at the company friendly, professional and helpful. What’s more, we’re very aware of the need to work with minimal disruption to customers’ daily lives when we’re fitting your new doors, even though having replacement doors fitted is always a major operation.

Finally, for added peace of mind, all our French doors come with an industry-leading, decade-long guarantee, including on all parts and hardware. So you really can’t go wrong! Give us a call today to learn more.

uPVC French Doors

uPVC French doors are a hugely popular choice among our replacement doors – and it’s not hard to see why. uPVC doors are made by encasing an insulated steel frame in uPVC to create a strong, thermally efficient unit. Offering style, value and flexibility, uPVC doors also provide excellent sound insulation and energy efficiency, reducing heat loss by up to 30%. What’s more, we offer uPVC French doors in an extensive line-up of colours, including trendy new pastel shades as well as woodgrain finishes which create a highly realistic timber appearance. Finally, because of the multiple panes of glass in the double glazing, hot and cold air don’t come into contact with each other, meaning you won’t be troubled by any condensation issues.

So it’s hardly surprising that uPVC French doors are becoming the smart choice among householders looking to upgrade their patio doors.

Composite French Doors

We offer composite French doors, built to last from a leading supplier we know and trust, and with whom we’ve forged a strong working relationship. And we’re finding these models are increasingly popular. Available in more than 20 colours (none of which will fade over time), and a whole range of styles, they also offer sky-high levels of security with the very latest in locking technology.

If you didn’t already know, composite doors are made from a selection of materials and constructed around a solid timber core. Each material is selected for its particular qualities, and everything is fused together to create one of the current market’s strongest products. Until recently, most of us would have associated composite doors with front doors, however, with the growing popularity of composite, newer models and applications are emerging.

Equally, composite French doors generally are more and more sought-after. Again it’s not hard to see why when you consider the benefits, from durability and versatility to thermal efficiency; they’re also the low-maintenance choice and highly weather-resistant while offering superb sound-proofing into the bargain.
