Classic French Doors in St Albans & beyond

An elegant door solution available in various materials to suit any style and budget requirements for homes in St Albans, Hertfordshire and North London.

A great way to connect your home to your garden or two internal rooms together, French doors are bound to improve the visual appeal of your home. Despite their traditional styling, these doors are regularly found upon properties of all ages and styles. One of their distinct advantages is their wide opening capacity, which allows you to flood your home with air when the doors are open. Because they feature large areas of energy-efficient glazing also, they ensure any interior rooms will feel instantly warmer and better lit. We supply them in uPVC, aluminium and timber, however composite versions are also available. Although there a four different materials in use, every set has been fitted with a multi-point locking system. Multi-point locks secure the doors at multiple points in the frame, making forced entry extremely difficult.

Choose your door material

Budget Windows provides French doors constructed from uPVC, timber & aluminium, although we also supply composite French doors. uPVC is incredibly easy to maintain and tends to be more cost-effective than the other materials.

Choose your door material

Aluminium doors feature slightly thinner frames, so they allow slightly more light inside than the other door materials. Our composites are fitted with a solid timber frame and a GRP skin, ensuring the doors are incredibly durable and secure.

As a material, timber is able to last for the longest period of time. However, this is provided that it is properly maintained. If repainted periodically timber is able to last for over 60 years, even if regularly exposed to heavy wind & rain and other testing weather conditions.

Wide range of colours

Choose from a plethora of colour choices, completing the look of your doors so they’re the perfect fit for your home. The colours and finishes that are available will vary according to the material, although each one comes with wide selection from which to choose.

Wide range of colours

Aluminium French doors from Budget Windows are available in over 200 RAL colours. Our composites can be completed in 21 different colours, whilst we can paint or stain timber to virtually any colour of your choosing. Our uPVC doors can also be finished in a huge number of shades.

Additionally, we provide the option of dual colouring the doors. This means they will have a different colour for the interior and exterior sides. This is a great option for those who are looking to ensure colour compatibility with both the inside and outside of their home.

Customise your doors

For that bespoke feel, you’re able to customise a number of areas on the door. For instance, you can decide whether you’d like the master door on the left or right, or if you’d rather the doors opened inwards or outwards. Which way they open will likely depend on your space restrictions.

Customise your doors

Additionally, you can alter the aesthetics of the door with a choice of door handles. Georgian bars, square leaded or diamond leaded glass styles are also available, allowing you to dramatically alter the appearance of the glazing.

Security wise, we can fit laminated glass so the chance of someone smashing the glass to force entry through the doors is lowered further. However, we fit them with toughened glass as standard anyway, so entry via this method is already extremely difficult.

Testimonials

'Excellent service throughout and a fantastic product. Tony was such a great help when we were choosing our doors and windows, and very flexible when we wanted to make changes. The overall cost was very competitive and I'd have no hesitation in recommending budget to friends in the area.'

Ian Hinchliffe

'It's not often you get a truly personal service these days but that is what we received from Ben and his team. His knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail reassured us completely. We were kept informed throughout the process and everything was delivered on-time and within budget. '

Geraint Whitley

'We needed new windows in our Victorian house as the original ones were incredibly draughty and no longer opened properly. Our priority was to get efficient modern windows which were in keeping with the style of the property. Tony at Budget Windows put a great deal of effort into advising us and designing our windows. The fitters were really tidy and trustworthy and we are thrilled with the results.'

Zoe Davies

'Absolutely brilliant from beginning to end – amazing fitters – two windows and patio sliding doors – great company to deal with – thank you.'

Budget Windows Customer

'Ben was excellent in assisting us to choose the right windows, guiding us through the different options available and understanding our requirements for a 1930s house. He delivered ahead of schedule and the fitting was excellent. One minor production fault was noted and corrected very quickly and the windows look fantastic. Real high quality at a fantastic price. We did a lot of comparisons and some came in at 3x the price we paid and I didn’t see the difference in quality, nor was the customer service matched. Highly recommend Budget Windows.'
