New uPVC French Doors Installed in Fontmell Magna, Dorset
Replacing old doors with modern, energy-efficient French doors is one of the best ways to improve both the appearance and performance of a home. We recently completed this installation in Fontmell Magna, where the customer wanted a high-quality set of white uPVC French doors that would maximise natural light while providing excellent security and thermal efficiency.
At Goldhill Glazing, we supply and install premium French doors throughout Fontmell Magna, Shaftesbury, Gillingham, Blandford Forum, Salisbury, Sherborne, Sturminster Newton, Wincanton, Warminster, Tisbury, Mere, Motcombe, East Knoyle, Donhead St Mary, Semley, Wimborne, Yeovil, Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester and surrounding areas across Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset.
The Project
The existing doors had reached the end of their lifespan and no longer offered the level of insulation, security or appearance the homeowner was looking for.
We installed a beautiful new pair of white uPVC French doors featuring:
Full-height glazed upper panels to maximise natural daylight.
Decorative tongue and groove lower panels for a traditional cottage appearance.
Modern multi-point locking system.
Low-maintenance white uPVC finish.
High-performance double glazing.
Smooth, easy operation with secure locking handles.
Excellent thermal efficiency to help reduce heat loss.
The traditional panelled design perfectly complements the character of the property while offering all the benefits of modern glazing technology.
Improved Security
Security was an important consideration for this installation.
The new French doors incorporate a modern multi-point locking mechanism which secures the doors at multiple points around the frame, making them significantly more secure than many older door systems.
Combined with toughened safety glass and robust hardware, the customer now benefits from improved peace of mind without compromising on style.
Better Energy Efficiency
Older doors can often allow valuable heat to escape.
Modern uPVC French doors are manufactured with multi-chambered profiles and energy-efficient double glazing designed to retain warmth inside the home.
Benefits include:
Lower heating bills.
Reduced draughts.
Improved comfort throughout the year.
Better acoustic insulation from outside noise.
Low Maintenance
Unlike traditional timber doors that require regular painting or staining, these uPVC French doors only require occasional cleaning with warm soapy water.
They won’t rot, warp or require repainting, making them an excellent long-term investment.
Why Choose French Doors?
French doors remain one of the UK’s most popular choices because they:
Allow large amounts of natural light into the property.
Create a seamless connection between inside and outside spaces.
Open up gardens, patios and terraces beautifully.
Suit both traditional and modern homes.
Increase kerb appeal and property value.
