Stunning composite French doors: Energy-efficient and stylish

If you’re looking to add style, light and practicality to your home, composite French doors are an excellent addition. With their classic double-door layout and expansive glass panels, they bring a seamless connection between indoors and out. But beyond good looks, the best French composite doors offer superb thermal insulation, security and durability.

At Entrance Composite Door Solutions, we design our composite double doors to meet the highest expectations of UK homeowners – combining style and energy efficiency with tested security and low maintenance. Here’s everything you need to know.

What are composite French doors?

Composite French doors are outward-opening double doors made from a blend of high-performance materials. At their core is a solid timber core for strength, surrounded by a weather-resistant GRP (glass reinforced plastic) skin. This construction gives excellent thermal performance, impressive soundproofing and a stylish finish that lasts.

Our French composite doors come with large glass panels as standard – offering natural light, uninterrupted views and an inviting feel from the moment you step through them.

Superior thermal efficiency all year round

One of the key reasons homeowners choose composite French doors is for their energy efficiency. Unlike older patio doors or timber options, composite doors are engineered to maintain heat inside the home.

Our doors are:

  • Built with a thermally insulated outer frame and inner frame
  • Compatible with triple or double glazing
  • Fully tested to meet PAS 24 security and insulation standards
  • Available with side panels for a complete, airtight seal

You’ll benefit from reduced draughts and better control over your energy bills – especially important in UK homes where heat loss is a common concern.

Elegant style with lasting durability

Composite French doors deliver elegance without compromise. They offer all the visual charm of traditional French styling with modern materials that resist warping, cracking and fading. From period properties to new builds, they’re a versatile, stylish choice for both front doors and back doors.

Entrance doors are available in a wide range of colour options, including classics like Irish Oak, contemporary tones like Anthracite, and heritage finishes to match any home. Each door is finished with a durable GRP skin that requires minimal maintenance and offers long-term longevity.

Built-in security for complete peace of mind

Our composite French doors aren’t just beautiful – they’re secure too. Every set of doors comes with a range of locking options designed to keep burglars out and families safe.

Features include:

  • Multi-point locking systems tested to PAS 24
  • Laminated or toughened safety glass
  • Solid core structure for added resistance
  • Reinforced hinges and handles

This all adds up to lasting peace of mind, especially for ground-floor back doors and patio entrances.

Do composite French doors add value to a home?

Yes, they do. Composite French doors improve kerb appeal, energy efficiency and security, which are key selling points for UK homeowners.

They’re a practical upgrade with lifestyle and financial benefits.
