Chigwell Windows were polite, professional and efficient. Our sketch was sent over quickly, the install was painless and communications throughout went above and beyond formalities. Renovating can be full of unexpected bumps and obstacles, our windows at least, was one passage of plain sailing and the resulting window - anthracite aluminum - is totally handsome. Transforms our bathroom.

Tanis

As I have used this company over many years 15 plus from when its was a couple of fitters to the size they are today nothing has changed as you still get that personal feeling that gives you a feeling of great workmanship and professional individual's I would recommend any of my closet to use them and take a look at what they offer now.

Anthony

The initial sales contact was excellent, we had gone to a number of suppliers, none could do what we wanted. Chigwell were exceedingly accomodating. As the installation took place we had a number of minor issues. Chigwell rose to the occasion, they went the extra mile to get get everything fixed. There was never a quibble, they were so easy to deal with and everything was completed to an excellent level.

Simon

Used this company before and were so pleased we did not hesitate to use them again. Fitter was excellent, friendly and made sure we were happy with the result. Cleared everything away at the end of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions homeowners ask us most before choosing French doors. For anything else, our showroom specialists are happy to help.

What are French doors?

French doors are double doors with large glass panels that open from the centre, creating a wide opening between spaces. They are commonly used as patio doors connecting indoor living areas with gardens or balconies.

Are aluminium French doors better than uPVC?

Both options offer excellent performance. Aluminium French doors provide slimmer frames, greater strength, and a more contemporary look, while uPVC French doors are typically more affordable and offer excellent thermal efficiency.

Are French doors energy efficient?

Yes. Modern French doors are designed with double or triple glazing and insulated frames, helping to minimise heat loss and improve overall energy efficiency.

Do French doors open inwards or outwards?

French doors can be configured to open either inwards or outwards depending on your space and layout. Outward-opening doors are common for patio access, while inward-opening designs may suit internal spaces.

Are French doors secure?

Yes. Our French doors include multi-point locking systems, toughened glazing, and robust frames, providing a high level of security for your home.
