How do French doors compare to other types of patio doors?

Modestly priced for the quality, French doors generally offer a more affordable alternative to many sliding patio door options. They are therefore an ideal price if your customers have a lower budget and are prioritising price.

The classic design that characterises French doors is a key reason for their popularity. However, your customers should be aware that they provide a more classic, traditional appearance than more modern options such as sliding doors. Patio door options such as sliding doors also tend to offer slimmer sightlines.

Like our other patio door designs, Origin French Doors are bespoke, and your customers have control over a wide range of bespoke options. The maximum sizes and customisation options available for French doors will also differ depending on the door system your customers choose. View the OB-49 and OB-72 specification file here for more information.

What makes Origin French doors high-quality options for your customers?

20-year guarantee

Our French doors come with a guarantee of up to 20-years, providing reliability, reassurance and long-term peace of mind for your customer. It’s a demonstration of good quality so is a good selling point.

Made from aluminium

We use premium quality aluminium to ensure the doors are strong, durable and secure. When you supply Origin French Doors, you can rest assured you'll be providing your customers with a premium product that is reliable, dependable, and built to last for decades.

Fast lead times

We offer unbeatably fast lead times to give your customers the design they are looking for within good time.

Resistant to rust and corrosion

Rust and corrosion can make French doors look unattractive, but it can also affect the functioning of the doors over time. Aluminium can be resilient to rust, with the protection improved further with a quality powdercoating, keeping your customers’ doors looking attractive throughout their lifetime. More maintenance such as cleaning the doors down will be required in certain areas. A guide of this can be found here.

Excellent security

At Origin, door security for our French Doors is a huge design priority for our Research and Development team. Our French Doors are PAS:24 2016 compliant and Secured By Design accredited too. Our French Doors have been thoroughly examined and tested to make sure they’re fit for purpose in any property, from existing structures through to new builds and renovations.

Each of our French Doors can be specified with a specifically designed multi-point lock which provides 8-points of locking to ensure your customers’ homes are kept safe and secure. Our hinges and other door hardware are also designed and made with security in mind.

Low maintenance

Aluminium doors, in comparison to other materials, are relatively low maintenance and require little ongoing care.

Bespoke options

Your customers can choose from a range of bespoke options – such as the overall size, whether the door opens in or out, colour options, hardware options, and more.

Accessible and weatherproof

Three threshold options are available – weathered, non-weathered and mobility – which means that your customers can choose how they move through their French Doors.
