Ideal Glass is FENSA registered
A FENSA certificate isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a need-to-have. Because the certification means you’re working with a professional company that will meet two legal requirements and provide you with an important level of protection. Most people haven’t the time, knowledge or inclination to check these three things themselves. So, what are they?
A FENSA certificate is your assurance that the installer who fitted your windows or doors has complied with Building Regulations. It also means that your installation(s) will have been registered with the Local Council. These are legal requirements and proof of them is essential when selling your home.
In addition, FENSA certificates issued after 6 June, 2014 verify that the installer’s warranty is insured. Reassuring to know if anything goes wrong, and the business gets into trouble.
So remember: you’re not just asking for a FENSA certificate. You’re asking if that window or door installer you’re thinking about using is professional, will comply with Building Regs, register your installation, and offer an insured warranty.
That’s why we say the FENSA certificate is all the proof you need of a job done right.

Elevate Your London Home's Charm with Exquisite French Doors
London, a city renowned for its historical architecture and contemporary homes, offers an eclectic mix of design aesthetics. However, adding a touch of elegance and classic sophistication can transform the ordinary into something remarkable. One such addition that can elevate your London home's charm is the installation of exquisite French doors. With their timeless appeal and functionality, French doors incorporate a blend of style and practicality that melds seamlessly with London's diverse architectural landscapes.
French doors are characterized by their large glass panels that extend most of their length, providing not just an entrance or passage, but also inviting ample natural light into your home. This infusion of light can make even the coziest of rooms feel airy and open, creating an illusion of space that is especially valuable in the often compact London homes. The transparency also allows for unobstructed views of your garden, terrace, or cityscape, blurring the lines between the indoors and outdoors.
The aesthetic versatility of French doors means they can complement various home styles, from Victorian terraces and Edwardian townhouses to modern minimalistic structures. Available in a range of materials – wood, aluminum, and even PVC – they can be tailored to suit the specific period and personality of your property. Traditional homes often favor wooden French doors with detailed moldings and classic finishes. In contrast, contemporary homes might opt for sleek metal frames with larger glass panes for a more updated look.
Despite their elegant appearance, French doors are built for durability and security. High-quality French doors come with robust locking mechanisms and toughened glass, ensuring that beauty does not compromise safety. They can also be fitted with weatherproof seals to prevent the unpredictable London weather from dampening the spirits inside. With double-glazing, these doors contribute to better insulation, keeping homes warm in the winter and cool during the summer months, ultimately leading to energy savings.
The functionality of French doors extends beyond visual appeal and weather resistance. They also add to the value of your property, should you consider selling in the future. The visual expansion they offer, coupled with the modern luxury they hint at, can be a persuasive selling point in the competitive London property market.
Installation of French doors is a commitment to maintenance as well. Wood frames may require regular painting or staining to preserve their lustre and prevent weathering. However, the effort is well worth it as well-maintained French doors can last decades, continuing to add charm and value to your home.
Interior decorators often use French doors as tools to enhance spatial connectivity within the home. They are excellent for separating spaces like living rooms and conservatories without severing visual connection. Thanks to their acoustic properties, they also add a layer of sound insulation to maintain privacy. Yet, by simply throwing the doors open, you can transform your living space into an expansive area ideal for entertaining.
Moreover, homeowners with a penchant for gardening can leverage French doors as a transitional entry between their home and garden. Imagine stepping through your French doors onto a patio or into a garden full of blooming flowers, herbs, and plants. This seamless entry into nature is not just a luxury but also promotes health and wellbeing by encouraging more time spent outdoors.
Decorating around French doors is an adventure in itself. Curtains or blinds can offer privacy and control over lighting; however, choosing the right treatment is essential to maintain the doors’ elegance. Light, airy fabrics work well with French doors, as do Roman blinds that can be drawn up fully to expose the full length of the glass. When it comes to the surrounding walls, subtle paint colors can allow the doors to stand out as a feature, while bold hues can help integrate them into a striking design scheme.
In conclusion, for homeowners in London looking to bring a touch of sophistication and romance to their abode, French doors are an enchanting solution. Not only do they exude style and elegance, but they also offer functional benefits that improve the quality of living. By incorporating French doors into your home, you can revel in the harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design, natural light, and the organic flow of space that they uniquely provide. Whether drawn wide open on a sunny day or closed during a cool evening, French doors ensure your home remains charming, filled with character, and gracefully connected with its surroundings.
