Anthracite Grey French Doors with Side Panels in Shaftesbury
Anthracite Grey French Doors, Shaftesbury
A pair of anthracite grey French doors with matching full-height side panels, fitted at a home in Shaftesbury by our own installation team.
Replacing a Wide Opening
The opening sits beneath timber cladding in a brick wall, and it was wide enough to take a pair of doors with a glazed side panel on each side. Opening both doors gives a wide, clear way in and out, while the side panels fill the rest of the space with glass rather than frame.
Light and Privacy Together
Every pane is fitted with obscure glass, so plenty of daylight comes through while no one can see in. It is a good choice where doors face a drive, a lane or a neighbour, and it means the room behind can be used without blinds.
Our Sculptured French Door System
These are our sculptured French doors, with no central mullion, so the pair opens fully. They have black lever handles, a multi-point lock on each door and our Storm Guard low aluminium threshold, which keeps the weather out while leaving a low, easy step. Trickle vents along the top of each door give background ventilation without opening up.
Anthracite Grey
Anthracite grey frames look smart against the red brick and weathered timber of the building, and the colour hides the marks of everyday use far better than white.
Fitted by Our Own Team
Our own team fitted the new frame, doors and side panels, finished everything neatly and left the place clean and tidy.

French Doors: Your Questions Answered
Can I have side panels with French doors?
Yes. Side panels are a good way to fill a wide opening, letting in more light while keeping the doors themselves a comfortable size. They can be fully glazed, as here, or have a solid panel at the bottom.
Is obscure glass a good idea for French doors?
Obscure glass is ideal where doors face a drive, a lane or a neighbour. It lets daylight through but blurs the view, so you have privacy without needing blinds. We have several patterns to choose from.
Do your French doors have a central post?
No. Our sculptured French doors close against each other without a fixed central mullion, so when both doors are open the full width of the opening is clear.
What is the Storm Guard threshold?
It is a low aluminium threshold that keeps rain and draughts out while leaving only a small step, so it is easy to walk over and suits wheelchairs and pushchairs better than a high sill.
How secure are French doors?
Each door has a multi-point lock that secures it at several points along its height, and all the glass is toughened safety glass. We fit a good quality cylinder as standard.
How long does it take to fit French doors and side panels?
Most sets of French doors, including side panels, are fitted in a day. We remove the old doors and frame, fit the new ones, finish them neatly inside and out and take the old doors away.
