French door balconies

French door balconies are the most popular balcony doors found in almost every English home with access to the garden.

They usually have two sashes, a movable mullion and upper and side transoms. These balconies very often act as entrance doors, which is why they are equipped with 5-mulitpoint locking system of the German company FUHR class RC3, solid MACO hinges adjustable in three planes and the EXITEX threshold.

French door balconies we produce fully glazed and with decorative or simple panels with thermal filling. They often have glued wooden Georgian bars and trickle vents.

We can modify the fittings and glass depending on the taste and needs of the customer, which allows us to make doors tailored to individual customer requirements.
