FRENCH DOORS
Optima PVC-U French doors offer effortless function and a perfect match with Optima windows. Suitable for residential, new build, refurbishment and commercial projects they have been designed for straightforward fabrication and hassle-free fitting on site.
Optima French doors are the ideal solution for porches, sunrooms, conservatories and Juliet balconies. They allow you to create a sleek, coherent solution because they use the same profiles as Optima windows.
Optima French doors can be configured to open inwards or outwards and in combination with fixed lights. Low threshold options are available as are open-out options for fire or safety doors. They are suitable for off-the-shelf hardware as well as high security options, so you can deliver a solution that is as secure as required.
The dedicated floating mullion allows doors to be fully opened without the need for a central bar and is self-holding on the first fix, so it can be easily clipped in, making the installation a fast and simple process.
But above all, because it’s an Optima system, every aspect has been considered, from how each component works together to the thickness and position of every internal web. It means you can be confident you’re using a market-leading solution.
