Black French Door – Set with Side Panels & Top Light
Some openings need more than a door — they need a feature. Flanking the central door pair with two glazed side panels and topping the whole thing with a full-width top light turns a simple exit into the focal point of the room, pulling in daylight from three directions while the two centre leaves still swing open exactly as a traditional French door should.
Why homeowners choose Black
Black has become one of the most requested foil finishes over the past few years, favoured by anyone renovating a modern property or wanting a sharp, high-contrast frame against pale brick or render. It's a deliberate departure from the softer, traditional tones of Cream or Rosewood, and reads as unmistakably contemporary next to standard white uPVC casement windows and doors.
Extensions and orangeries are where this configuration earns its keep most — anywhere the opening was deliberately built wider than standard specifically to take a full glazed feature rather than a plain door.
Engineered for UK weather
Every French door is built around a 70mm, fully sculptured, multi-chamber uPVC frame — the same profile technology used across our double glazed uPVC windows range — for excellent thermal performance and a slim, contemporary sightline. Soft-coat Low-E 28mm double glazing, with an argon-filled cavity and black warm-edge spacer bar, brings the whole set down to an A-rated 1.3 W/m²K u-value, keeping heat in and energy bills down.
Security is built in as standard, not an optional extra: a multipoint locking system, lockable push-button handles, and fully internally beaded glazing make forced entry from outside significantly harder, while high-performance double-action ‘bubble’ gaskets keep a tight seal against wind and rain in even the wettest UK winters.
Made to measure, built to last
Every set is manufactured to your exact opening, from 1800mm to 3500mm in width and 2200mm to 3000mm in height, so you get a precise fit rather than a generic size. The frame is guaranteed against discolouring, warping or peeling, backed by a 10-year profile guarantee, and is fully compliant with Part L Building Regulations for energy efficiency.
