French Doors with Side Panels

Neuffer offers a range of custom options your project. This begins with your choice of frame material and continues to style, glazing, finish, colours and fittings. Non-standard shapes such as arches are available and glazing bars can be integrated for a more traditional look. On the other hand, minimal, aluminum clad options can create a sleek contemporary look.

Door Frame Materials

We offer two main materials, timber and uPVC as either stand-alone or aluminum clad. Each option offers a different set of features.

UPVC is well suited to those on a tight budget while still offering most of the same customization options. It can be upgraded to improve thermal performance and security as required. Timber boasts great insulation and strength without additional reinforcement, foam or internal chambers. It provides a traditional and natural look for any home while requiring a bit more upkeep than synthetic materials. We offer a wide selection of hardwood and softwood including oak, cherry, larch, meranti and much more.

Aluminum cladding represents the best of both worlds. For those on a stricter budget, aluclad uPVC provides solid security, durability, insulation, and aesthetics at a great price. For the ultimate bespoke solution and premium aesthetics, aluclad timber frames are second to none. They feature a sleek modern look outside and robust weather resistance. This adds up to minimal upkeep over the years while retaining the cozy look of wood indoors.

Colours & Finishes

uPVC frames are available in a large selection of RAL colours as well as decors to mimic timber for example. Our solid timber frames are available both in the entire RAL colour palette as well as a range of natural stains and finishes. Aluminum is also available in the RAL colour range applied to the anodized surface via powder coating.

French doors typically feature large glass surfaces to provide the most natural light possible and the best views. Since most of the doors' total surface area is glass, your choice of glass plays a major role in overall energy efficiency, U-values and security.

With external doors, it is important to ensure that energy is not lost, whether that be cool air in summer or warm air in winter. Choosing double or triple glazing will go a long way towards ensuring this as will optional non-conductive warm edge spacers and argon filling between panes.

Door and Window Fittings

Large glass surfaces can be a potential vulnerability depending on their location. A second or third-floor balcony door presents little risk while ground level doors should be configured with further security options. These include multipoint locking, shoot bolts, locking handles and concealed hinges. Laminated safety glass should be installed on the outermost pane at least in order to provide an added layer of security and make breaking the glass difficult.
