OUR DOORS
Embrace Elegance with French Doors
For an affordable and elegant way to access your garden, terrace, or balcony, our French Doors by Cardinal Home Improvements are the optimal solution. French doors not only enhance the natural light coming into your home, but they also infuse your home with a touch of continental charm. Designed with two doors that open either inwards or outwards, their slim PVCu frames and lack of a central mullion (or middle bar) ensure unobstructed views and easy access throughout your property. Equipped with multi-point locking systems and internal reinforcement, our French doors provide the same high level of security as all our other garden Lifestyle products.

We now have the technical ability to use this material safely for non weather-facing material within a number of our profiles. All Formula One weather-facing / UV-facing surfaces are 100% lead free and made from 100% virgin polymer PVCu. Inside, any recycled PVCu is incorporated safely, clearly identified by a different colour.
All Formula One windows and doors use the latest shoot-bolt multipoint locking systems and internal glazing beads offering total peace of mind. Profile walls are strong and robust, with steel reinforcement at the critical points to increase resistance to attack. Our security commitment ensures that our windows and doors can meet the Police preferred Secured by Design standard (Note – we can achieve this specification, it is not standard).
SECURITY
Keep Your Home Secure
ENVIRONMENTAL
Lead-Free PVCu
Historically, older PVCu window frames and doors contained lead-based additives. When touched, especially after weathering, these could pose a risk of lead contamination. For several years now, end-of-life PVCu products have been routinely turned into granules to create reconstituted PVCu, thereby reducing landfill.
Thanks to advancements in technology, we can now safely use this recycled material within many of our profiles. At Cardinal Home Improvements, all weather-facing and UV-facing surfaces are made from 100% lead-free virgin polymer PVCu. Any recycled PVCu is incorporated safely inside the profiles and is clearly identified by a different colour.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Cutting Your Heating Bills Down with New French Doors
As much as 25% of a home’s heat loss occurs through windows, but installing energy-efficient windows and doors can reduce this by up to 75%.
In a detached three-bedroom house, replacing single-pane or older double-glazed windows can cut heating bills by as much as £160 annually. Additionally, a better-insulated home consumes less energy, which in turn lowers harmful CO2 emissions.
Understanding energy efficiency
Window Energy Ratings (WER) classify windows from ‘A/A+’ to ‘G’ using a traffic-light color code. To comply with building regulations, new windows must have at least a WER ‘C’ rating or a U-value of 1.6 or lower. While doors and conservatories aren’t rated using this system, our products match the energy efficiency of our windows, ensuring your home performs optimally.
Design that keeps you warm
At Cardinal Home Improvements, all our windows and doors feature a German-engineered PVCu system with five thermal chambers. This advanced design effectively separates cold external air from the warm interior of your home. Additionally, it is built to support the most energy-efficient triple-glazed insulated units, enhancing overall thermal performance.

Thoroughly recommend Cardinal after seeing the prices and service of competitors (not naming any, but a very big National company really tried to pull a fast one on us with pricing and add-ons).
