Triple glazed French doors in Southampton
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed French doors for homes in Southampton and the rest of Hampshire.
uPVC or aluminium French doors, fitted with multi-point locks. French doors are a pair of doors that open together, with no fixed centre post, usually leading to a garden or patio.
Winter light and glass choice in Southampton
By midsummer Southampton has about 16 h 32 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 56 min, with the noon sun at about 16°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for french doors in England
In England, replacement external doors must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a door set energy rating of band C (more than 60% glazed) or band B (other doors). Replacement external doors fall under the same energy rules: a competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council, or a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing doors on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. Flats need planning permission for a change that alters their appearance, an Article 4 direction may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
