The Classic Garden Door — Both Leaves Thrown Open to the Summer
Emplas uPVC French doors on the British-made Profile 22 Optima frame, fitted by our Newmarket team. Choose the classic Optima or the slimmer, brighter Optima Slim — both with A-rated glass units as standard and covered by our 10-year guarantee.
A Hundred Years of Good Ideas
Some designs simply never date. A pair of French doors thrown open onto the garden on a warm afternoon is one of them — equally at home on a Woodbridge cottage as on a brand-new extension in Kesgrave. They remain one of the most requested garden doors we fit from our Newmarket base, in homes across Kesgrave, Ipswich, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and throughout Suffolk and Essex.
We install uPVC French doors manufactured in Britain by Emplas on Profile 22's thermally efficient Optima system, in two ranges: the classic Optima French door, in chamfered or fully sculptured profiles with 19 colour and foiled finishes available from stock, and the Optima Slim, whose ultra-slim frames carry larger panes of glass for a brighter, more contemporary look. Both come with A-rated glass units as standard and multi-point locking, fitted by our own installation team — never subcontractors.
Every installation starts with a free, no-obligation survey, is protected by our 10-year guarantee, and is FENSA-certified for building regulations compliance.
Choose Your System
Not sure which is right for your home? The simple version: the Optima French door is the timeless all-rounder at excellent value; the Optima Slim trades a little frame for a lot more glass and light. Our consultants will walk you through both at your survey.
Optima French Doors
The classic garden door, done properly. Built on Profile 22's multi-chamber Optima frame in your choice of crisp chamfered or softly sculptured profiles, it suits everything from country cottages to new builds — with both leaves opening fully for the whole clear width.

What Our French Door Customers Say
Reviews related to our uPVC French doors
The French doors Jack recommended for our dining room are perfect. Both leaves open right back and the room feels twice the size in summer.
Dave sorted us out with a lovely pair of French doors with side panels for our garden room. Superb service and spot-on lead times.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. No pressure, great advice on open-in versus open-out, and the installers were spotless.
Cannot recommend Micron enough. The fitters were polite, tidy, and their attention to detail on the finishing trims is exceptional.
