Triple glazed French doors in Chichester
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed French doors for homes in Chichester and the rest of West Sussex.
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 Chichester
On the shortest day, Chichester gets about 7 h 56 min of daylight and the midday sun reaches only about 16° above the horizon. Low winter sun means north-facing rooms here gain little solar heat, which is where triple glazing’s lower heat loss helps most.

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.
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.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and door U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
