French doors for Friern Barnet homes

The housing in Friern Barnet is largely Edwardian and interwar semis, terraces and converted flats. On 1930s semis, replacing a rear window and the wall below with French doors needs a properly sized lintel, so the structural work must be planned and approved.

French doors onto a Juliet balcony can bring light and air into upper-floor flats, but any change to the external opening may need freeholder and planning approval. French doors suit Victorian back rooms and kitchen extensions where the opening is too narrow for bifolds, giving a full-width opening from two hinged leaves.

The North Circular runs along the southern edge, and properties near it hear heavy traffic day and night. Well-sealed frames with acoustic glass can make a real difference to sleep. Getting here from Edmonton is a straight run of about 5.1 miles along the A406, which keeps surveys and fitting simple.

French doors are a pair of hinged doors that open together to connect a room with the garden, patio or balcony. Available in uPVC and aluminium, they suit homeowners wanting a wide, classic opening without the space needed by bifold or large sliding door systems.

  • Wide, classic opening to the garden
  • Both leaves open fully for access
  • Side panels can add extra light

Questions from Friern Barnet

Do I need planning permission for french doors in Friern Barnet?

Most Friern Barnet homes can have like-for-like replacement windows, but Barnet Council's conservation rules and flat-specific rules can apply, so we check before quoting. Replacing existing French doors or a back door on a house is usually permitted development and covered by FENSA, but forming a new or wider opening needs Building Regulations approval, and flats or listed buildings may need consent.

How soon can you fit french doors in Friern Barnet?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.1 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.

What is the difference between French doors and bifold doors?

French doors are two hinged leaves, so the opening is limited to their combined width. Bifold doors use several panels that fold and stack to one side, opening up a much wider space. French doors are simpler and often suit narrower openings, while bifolds suit wider rear elevations.

Can I see samples before I decide?

Yes. Our showroom is at Unit G, 1 Anthony Way, London N18 3QT (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), about 5.1 miles from Friern Barnet. We can also bring samples to your home in Friern Barnet at the free survey.
