About the service

French doors are a pair of side-hinged doors that open fully outward (or inward), creating a wide, symmetrical opening from a room onto a garden, patio, or balcony. The traditional choice for connecting indoor spaces to outdoor entertaining areas, French doors offer maximum opening width without the running gear of sliding or bifold systems. S&K Glazing installs French doors in uPVC, aluminium, and hardwood timber across the UK.

Working in Crawley

Crawley wraps around Gatwick Airport — aircraft noise is the dominant glazing consideration in RH10 and RH11. Our acoustic triple glazing is the most-installed product locally, and many properties qualify for Gatwick's noise insulation grant scheme.

For doors and glass extensions in Crawley, residential property style typically drives the design brief across South East — whether that's contemporary aluminium bifolds spanning a garden-facing rear elevation, slim-frame sliding doors that maximise glass area on a modern extension, or heritage French doors fitted to a period façade. Most commonly we're working across RH10 and RH11 postcodes. Typical lead time from survey to install: 4-6 weeks for standard configurations, 8-10 weeks for bespoke or large-span builds.
