What Are uPVC French Doors and Why Homeowners Choose Them
Elegant, practical, and built for modern living. Here is what makes them a smarter choice for Melbourne homes.
The Classic Appeal
French doors are a pair of side-hinged glass doors that open from the centre, creating a wide and elegant entrance.
They connect indoor living spaces to patios, gardens, balconies, and courtyards with natural flow.
That open, airy feel and natural light is why they’ve remained a timeless design choice.
Why uPVC Changes Everything
Timber doors can warp, rot, and require constant maintenance over time.
Aluminium frames often transfer heat and cold directly into your home.
uPVC French doors solve both problems: energy efficient, low maintenance, and built for durability in all seasons. It is why many homeowners choose uPVC, a material built to last.
The DGM Difference
Custom made for Melbourne homes and built to fit your exact opening.
uPVC double glazed as standard, with optional upgrades for performance and privacy.
Installed by trained professionals and backed by a 10-year guarantee with free measure and quote.
Key Benefits of Double Glazed uPVC French Doors
A Grand Entrance. Every Time You Open Them.

Where Do French Doors Work Best?
Discover the ideal spaces to upgrade your home's functionality, aesthetics, curb appeal, and natural insulation with premium double glazed French doors. Choosing the right doors for each space makes all the difference.
Living Rooms to Patio or Deck
The classic. Open both panels for a grand entrance to your outdoor living space. Close them for a warm, quiet evening inside. French doors were designed specifically for this moment.
Dining Areas and Entertaining Spaces
Create a seamless flow between your dining room and alfresco area. Guests move freely. Light pours in. The space feels twice as big.
Bedrooms to Balconies
Wake up, swing open the french doors, and step onto your balcony. It is a small luxury that makes a big difference to how a bedroom feels.
Internal Room Dividers
French doors aren't just for exterior walls. Use them between living rooms, a home office and studies, or between a hallway and a formal lounge. Natural light passes through while maintaining privacy and noise separation.
Courtyards and Side Access
A stylish alternative to a basic back door. French doors turn a side courtyard or rear garden access into a feature, not an afterthought.

FAQs
What are uPVC french doors?
uPVC french doors are a pair of side-hinged, double glazed doors with full-length glass panels that swing open from the centre. The uPVC frame provides superior thermal insulation, requires minimal maintenance, and resists warping, rotting, and UV damage. They are a great solution for connecting indoor and outdoor spaces with style, security, and modern performance..
Are french doors energy efficient?
Yes. Double glazed uPVC french doors are highly energy efficient. The sealed glass unit reduces heat transfer, while the uPVC frame cuts thermal bridging. Double glazing significantly improves insulation, helping to maintain more stable, comfortable indoor temperatures and reducing how hard your heating and cooling has to work. Low E coatings and an argon gas fill come standard. That means less heat loss in winter, less heat gain in summer, and lower energy bills year round.
Do french doors reduce outside noise?
Yes. Two panes of glass with a sealed insulating gap create a sound barrier that significantly reduces external noise from traffic, neighbours, and street activity. Combined with sealed uPVC frames, double glazed french doors provide effective noise control for homes near busy roads, schools, or noisy neighbours, and the glass can be specified for higher acoustic performance where needed.
Are uPVC french doors secure?
Yes. All our french doors feature multi-point locking systems for enhanced security. Laminated glass and toughened glass options make forced entry significantly harder, and internally glazed glass panels cannot be removed from the exterior. You can also choose from different glass options, including solid core panels that add privacy. Your home stays secure without compromising on style.
What configurations are available for french doors?
We offer standard double french doors, french doors with sidelites, french doors with highlight panels, and single french doors (terrace doors). Various sizes and configurations are available to suit different openings and architectural styles, and every set is custom made in a range of finishes, including classic white and woodgrain effects.
What colours are available?
Standard colours include Cream, White, Woodgrain, Silver, Ceylon Black, Anthracite Grey, and Smooth Black. Special order colours are also available. You can choose different colours for the interior and exterior to match your home's style.
Can french doors be used as internal room dividers?
Yes. uPVC french doors work beautifully as internal room dividers between living rooms, studies, hallways, and formal areas. They allow natural light to pass through while maintaining privacy, noise separation, and a sense of elegance between indoor spaces.
How much do uPVC french doors cost?
The cost depends on the size, configuration, glass type, hardware, and any special requirements. Every opening is different. Contact us for a free measure and personalised quote. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Are uPVC french doors hard to maintain?
Not at all. uPVC french doors are designed to be low-maintenance, needing only occasional cleaning with mild soap and water to keep them looking their best. The frame will not need painting, sanding, or sealing, and it resists the harsh Australian sun, rain, and UV without fading or warping. Quality uPVC can last well over 50 years, which makes it a durable choice.
Can I replace my old timber french doors with uPVC?
Yes. We specialise in replacing old timber and aluminium french doors with modern double glazed uPVC. We measure, manufacture, install, and clean up. The process is designed to minimise disruption and deliver an immediate improvement in thermal insulation, noise control, security, and everyday comfort.
