Triple glazed French doors in Blackpool
Triple glazed French doors for homes in Blackpool: measured on a free survey, made to order and fitted by installation teams working for us across Lancashire.
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 Blackpool
By midsummer Blackpool has about 17 h 06 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 24 min, with the noon sun at about 13°. 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
England sets replacement door limits through Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 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.
Planning: 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.
How it works
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
