Imagine throwing your French doors open on a warm summer afternoon to let a cool breeze circulate through your Honiton, Devon, or nearby home. With our beautiful designs and high-quality materials, our French doors are the perfect blend of style and function.
French doors open outwards into your garden, making them a perfect choice when space is at a premium or as an entry to a conservatory or patio area. French doors are a classic choice when you want to allow fresh air and natural light into your home for a bright and spacious feeling throughout your interiors.
Restrictors & Accessibility
A frequently cited reason amongst Honiton and Devon homeowners against getting French doors concerns the swinging of the doors in the wind. Although this is indeed an issue that is commonly found in other French doors, you will not have to worry about this anymore. Because of the strong tension hinges and optional restrictors that come with our French doors, our doors will remain in place even in the wind.
Additionally, our French doors come with low thresholds as well. This makes them a suitable option for those who even have mobility issues. Because of this, you will still be able to take advantage of our French doors if you rely on a wheelchair or are limited in some other way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are French doors always double?
A French door is made up of two doors in a single frame with no central pillar. At Otter Windows, we always manufacture double French doors that are easy to open and close and create unobstructed access between the indoors and outdoors.
This makes them a particularly good choice if you have mobility issues. You can choose to open one or both doors depending on the level of ventilation or access you require.
If you only have an opening for a single door, browse our range of single glazed doors designed to bring natural light into your living space.
Do French doors swing in or out?
That’s entirely up to you. If you have patio pots or outdoor furniture obstructing the opening, you might opt for inward-opening doors. Just be aware that you’ll need sufficient interior space.
Opt for outward-opening doors if you want to really optimise the feeling of light and space in your Honiton or Devon home. Our special tension hinges will prevent your doors from slamming shut in a breeze.
Do I need planning permission for French doors?
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission when you install French doors. However, if your doors face a road or you live in a Honiton or Devon-listed building or conservation area, things may not be so straightforward.
At Otter Windows, we’re CERTASS certified. This means we ensure your French doors meet building regulations so you don’t have to.
Happy Customers
Jane Halls
A no-nonsense approach, I didn’t get all the spill talk about discounts and offers at the moment. It’s just a really good quote given at the time. No waste of time phone calls was given the lead time of 12 weeks, which suited us perfectly. Easy to pay the instalments on my phone. The day of installation was very efficient, which was done by Sid.
Moya Paul
Absolutely delighted. The paperwork and organisation were flawless, delivery was on time, the workmanship excellent and the product was of the very highest standard. I thoroughly recommend you to anyone looking for new doors or windows.
Alan
Superb after-sales service. Had porch and front doors installed a few years ago, after contacting Otter Windows, John Capon a man all knowing in this field, promptly arrived and corrected both problems in a true professional manner. I can not rate this company high enough and have recommended them many times.
Matthew Bulliman
Very positive.
Debbie was really helpful in keeping us informed throughout the process. On the day, the fitter was very professional and carried out the work to a very high standard.
Phil Cordon
I was particularly happy with the rear or back door, which I asked to be a barn door. The engineer was honest and gave me proper advice, so I ended up with a split/tilt/open barn door, which far exceeded my expectations.
All work was carried out to a professional finish, and the installer was a very pleasant chap who cleaned up behind himself and left the place clean and tidy.
