White crittall-style French doors a sidelights installation
Steel-look elegance with modern performance
We recently completed a feature installation at a property in Ainsdale, fitting a set of white Crittall-style French doors with matching sidelights to create a striking and elegant rear elevation.
The project was designed to combine classic industrial styling with modern energy efficiency and security.
Project overview
The existing doors did not maximise light or complement the property’s interior design. The homeowners wanted a more architectural look that would:
Increase natural light
Create a bold design feature
Improve thermal efficiency
Enhance security
Crittall-style French doors were chosen to deliver slim sightlines and distinctive glazing bars, giving the appearance of traditional steel doors with the benefits of modern materials.
White crittall-style French doors in Ainsdale
Crittall-style doors have become increasingly popular in Ainsdale and across the North West due to their timeless, high-end aesthetic. This installation included:
Slim-profile white frames
Heritage-style glazing bars
Secure multi-point locking system
High-performance double glazing
Smooth and reliable operation
The French door configuration allows wide garden access while maintaining symmetry and balance.
Matching sidelights for maximum light
To further enhance the space, we installed matching white Crittall-style sidelights on either side of the doors. Benefits of adding sidelights include:
Increased glazing area
Brighter internal living space
Enhanced architectural impact
A wider, more open feel
The grid-style detailing creates a strong visual feature both internally and externally.
Blending traditional style with modern benefits
While inspired by traditional steel Crittall doors, modern systems offer significant performance advantages:
-
Improved insulation
-
Weather-resistant seals
-
Low maintenance finish
-
Strong security features
-
Long-lasting durability
This ensures homeowners can enjoy the aesthetic appeal without the upkeep associated with traditional steel frames.
