What are French windows?
ERG’s effervescent French Windows feature two opening sashes that unite in the middle and open outward from the sides. When opened together, a vast, undisturbed opening is generated, with no central mullion.
The style heralds utmost ventilation and fabulous views, making it a strong option for large window expanses, balconies and areas where lots of fresh air and natural light is sought.
A window innovation that functions like a door
French windows from ERG Scotland can be produced in various materials and colours in accordance with multi house types. A combination of a multi-point lock, energy-efficient glazing and robust frames means that not only do French windows look good, but they also perform exceptionally well.

Common questions about French windows
While French windows pretty much suit all house styles in the Highlands, there may be questions you’d like answering about them before committing to buying some. ERG has compiled some common questions to help you learn more about their benefits.
1. What are French windows?
French windows are a style with two opening sashes that meet in the middle and outwardly open from the sides. When both sashes are ajar, it creates an expansive opening, luring heaps of natural light and ventilation into a room.
2. Are French windows secure?
They’re incredibly secure as they incorporate several security features, including a multi-point lock, which complements their robust frame. In a closed and locked position, the pair of sashes stay tightly fixed to the frame, giving you rock solid protection.
3. Are French windows energy efficient?
Absolutely! One of their greatest assets is the insulation and heat retention they offer. The combination of high-quality double glazing and well-sealed frames does a sterling job of preserving the warmth created by a boiler to fuel homes with comfort.
4. When are French windows typically chosen?
Scottish homeowners often specify French windows in situations where maximum ventilation and natural light is sought. The style is popularly installed in living rooms, kitchens and rooms placed on upper floors.
5. Can you customise French windows?
Multiple personalisation options are available, from choosing a finish to deciding on the glazing you want housed in the frame. You could also consider having Georgian bars or leaded glass incorporated for a classical touch.
6. Do French windows require lots of maintenance?
We construct our French windows using low maintenance UPVC and aluminium to make life easier for our customers. There’s no requirement for repainting as the colour hue is applied in a fashion that stops it from fading or suffering wear and tear.
7. Do French windows provide quality ventilation?
It’s a primary benefit of French windows as the double opening function creates a significant passage for fresh air to enter homes. Optimum airflow will keep rooms feeling fresh and cool.
8. Does the French window style suit modern homes?
It certainly does as it’s a very traditional style, with a character that’s similarly compatible with newer builds too. Locate a material and colour that is harmonious with your property’s aesthetic, which shouldn’t prove difficult.
