French Windows

French windows are often chosen when customers want to effortlessly merge indoor and outdoor environments, with their clever opening mechanism making this possible. They also bring in an abundance of natural light, adding a refreshing energy and vibrancy to any room. The versatility of an Extreme French window allows for configurations that perfectly suit your space.

Energy-efficient glass comes as standard with all Extreme UPVC French windows, ensuring you benefit from superior insulation and the potential for energy savings. As we arrange your French windows, we’ll also ask whether you’d prefer double or triple glazing to suit your requirements.

UPVC window frames have traditionally been white, but we understand that white French windows may not always suit the character of certain homes in Cumbria and North Lancashire. That’s why we’ve developed a wide range of alternative finishes.

Anthracite Grey stands out as one of the most popular colours, blending seamlessly with almost any home style, while Chartwell Green and Matt Black aren’t far behind in terms of popularity. If choosing just one finish feels too difficult, why not take the logical step and opt for dual-coloured window frames? This way, you can harmonise the interior and exterior of your home with the best of both worlds.

Flush windows were once hugely popular in North Lancashire and Cumbria homes, and they’re now making a comeback across the county, thanks to the launch of our Envisage collection. Our skilled craftspeople were tasked with reimagining these classic windows, and the result is truly impressive.

The proportions of the Envisage French windows are a perfect match for traditional flush casements, with many of the historical details carefully replicated, including that iconic flat finish. While timber has been replaced with UPVC for durability and performance, the finished look remains strikingly authentic—so much so, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference.

The classic colours used in traditional flush windows are at the heart of our Envisage range. Light Oak, in particular, stands out for its ability to beautifully highlight the wood-effect frame.

Thanks to its weather-resistant UPVC frame, Envisage requires minimal and infrequent maintenance. No need for repainting or staining—just a quick wipe is all it takes to keep the frame looking as good as new.

Choose Eclipse for incredibly sleek French windows that offer remarkable strength and feature expansive glazing. They’re noticeably slimmer than typical aluminium windows, but this doesn’t compromise their security or outstanding energy efficiency.

Picture the improved views these windows will create, providing a flawless frame for the outdoor scenery. As with all our window solutions, Planet is ready to customise the configuration to suit your needs.

Experience has taught us that the best way to perfect our aluminium finishes is through an 11-stage powder-coating process. This level of detail and effort is essential to achieving the perfect colours and ensuring they stand the test of time.

If you love the natural look of wood, our sublimated woodgrains offer the next best thing. Not only do they replicate authentic grain patterns, but they also feel like real timber, giving Eclipse aluminium French windows the warmth of wood without any of the drawbacks.

While the functionality of a window handle is undeniably important, you may see its aesthetic value is just as crucial. We’ve carefully considered both aspects in our design.

A built-in key lock within the window handle ensures the French windows remain secure, preventing any break-in attempts. Visit Planet’s showroom in Kendal, where we can give you a hands-on demonstration of the security our handles offer.

You might choose the same finish for your window handle to maintain a seamless look, or opt for a striking colour contrast. With options like white, black, gold, and chrome, the possibilities are endless. White handles offer a clean, minimalist feel, while black handles are perfect for those wanting to make a bold statement.

Our handles are rustproof and won’t flake, keeping them looking pristine even with frequent use. You can enjoy both style and durability with every turn of the handle.

The choice of glass for your French windows is important, as it plays a key role in both energy efficiency and security. If patterned glass doesn’t provide enough privacy, consider our specialised privacy glazing for added seclusion.

Crafted using cutting-edge technology, our glass offers exceptional soundproofing and insulation. To explore the benefits of different glazing options, book a consultation at your home or visit our showroom.

Personalising both the internal and external sides of your French windows is an opportunity you won’t want to miss, and it will elevate their overall aesthetic. Choose from classic leaded, astragal, or Georgian bars – sleek grids that are sure to enhance the charm of any building.

Elegant embellishments give French windows added presence, and you’ll soon notice the compliments pouring in from visitors.
