01Timeless Elegance

A design classic, crafted to measure

Timber French doors are a pair of hinged wooden doors that connect a room with a garden or terrace. Schnauber makes them to measure with glazing and finishes selected for the property. Check the opening width, space for the door leaves and threshold requirements at survey before agreeing the final design.

Each door is made to measure to complement your property and maximise natural light, with a wide choice of colours, glazing options and finishes tailored to your aesthetic and functional requirements.

Crafted from responsibly sourced timber with thorough quality checks before installation — engineered for excellent thermal performance and security.

07Common Questions

Timber French doors — FAQs

What is a timber French door? +

Essentially a set of hinged double doors opening outwards or inwards to provide access to a space — a beautiful design classic that adds a sophisticated feature to any home.

Where would I install French doors? +

To connect and access an external space such as decking or a garden — or internally to separate two areas, like a dining room and lounge, thanks to their slender proportions and detailed joinery.

Why choose Schnauber timber French doors? +

To make an external space feel part of the internal one, provide easy access between rooms while retaining privacy, and increase natural light and ventilation.

What options are available? +

A choice of engineered timber species, unlimited colours in environmentally friendly water-resistant paints, wide ironmongery selection — with toughened glass as standard.

Are they environmentally friendly? +

Yes — all our French doors are manufactured from responsible, sustainable sources certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

How long does installation take? +

Replacing existing French doors typically takes 1–2 days. Converting windows to French doors takes longer — we'll confirm at your free survey.

How easy are they to maintain? +

Pre-treated with a non-toxic wood preservative — maintenance is only required every 5–10 years.

Schnauber's top tips for French doors +

Consider the impact of a wide expanse of glass on the room, and allow space for the swing radius to operate unhindered.

What should I check before choosing timber French doors? +

Check where each leaf will open, the available space on either side and the threshold arrangement. Tell the surveyor about steps, paving, radiators or furniture near the opening so the proposed doors can be assessed in context.

How do I request a timber french doors quote in my area? +
