Create Your Dream Opening with Heritage Aluminium French Doors and Side Panels
Standard door configurations shouldn't limit your home's connection to the outdoors. When you need a bespoke opening that perfectly fits your space while maximising natural light, our heritage aluminium French doors, with customizable side panels, offer the flexibility and elegance your property deserves.
Tailored Heritage Design for Every Space
This isn't just another door system—it's an entirely adaptable heritage aluminium French door configuration that captures authentic early 20th-century style while accommodating your specific architectural requirements. The signature stepped profile and period-correct detailing extend seamlessly across both the French doors and side panel, creating a unified aesthetic that enhances your home's character.
Perfect for wider openings where you want to flood interiors with daylight while maintaining a vital connection to the garden, this system transforms kitchens, living areas, and dining spaces into light-filled environments that flow seamlessly with your outdoor space.
Bespoke Side Panels - Made to Your Exact Requirements
What makes this system truly special is the made-to-measure side panel, which can be tailored from a minimum width of 300mm to a maximum of 600mm. This precision customization ensures your opening fits perfectly, whether you're working with an existing aperture or creating a new one during renovation.
The side panel maintains the same ultra-slim heritage aesthetics as the French doors, with matching sightlines that create visual continuity while maximizing the glazed area for superior light transmission.
Ultra Slim Heritage Aesthetics Across the Entire Opening
