CONVENTIONAL

FRENCH DOORS

Case Study

“AFTER MUCH SHOPPING AROUND, WE CONCLUDED
THAT A CHEAPER PRODUCT – WHETHER TIMBER, UPVC,

ALUMINIUM OR COMPOSITE – JUST WASN’T GOING TO BE
GOOD ENOUGH. ”

As sitting rooms go, this beautiful secluded property has an example that is on a par with the
very best, overlooking sprawling patio and gardens extending across two acres; and the Moger
family love it all, with its bright and spacious aura created by the roof lantern and walls lined
with French doors working together seamlessly.

This five bedroom house, built in the mid 1930’s, had until recently been in the same family for
78 years; the Moger family opted to demolish a single storey extension and add a new one
with twice the floor area: “our architect suggested modern, with bi-fold doors, but we wanted
it to be traditional with French doors.”

Recommended to Timber Windows by their building contractor, the family made a visit to their
local showroom and subsequently had a home visit, and while impressed with what they had
seen and experienced, were put off initially by the price being a little more than they had
expected and budgeted for.
Four French door sets finished in the shade of Straw were chosen, featuring 18mm horizontal
glazing bars, with the central set of doors also combining twin sidelights.

As Mr & Mrs Moger conclude, the overall result has been one of contentment with their
choice:

“THE FINISHED PRODUCT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT,

AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS TO DRAW
COMMENT FROM VISITORS. GOING FOR QUALITY
WAS WORTH THE PRICE.”
