Expert Advice
Our aluminium French doors were recently selected to form part of five beautiful balcony garden displays at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024. It was an honour to attend the exhibition in person and get a glimpse at how transformative the perfect set of patio doors can be. Spark new balcony garden ideas and go behind the scenes of this iconic British event with our in-depth retrospective…
RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024
Even with limited square footage, balcony gardens can blossom into vibrant green havens. Current balcony garden trends reflect a growing desire for sustainability and an immersive connection with nature. There’s also huge interest in maximising small spaces; giving them an alfresco feel that encourages indoor/outdoor living.
There’s no doubt this was an exciting brief to be involved with.
We were originally approached for this project by Big Fish Landscapes who found us online. They’re the landscapers for the balcony garden exhibit and were in need of five sets of French Patio doors to complete the display. Following this, we worked closely with Clare Greene from the RHS team to finalise the details.
We promptly arranged delivery in alignment with the schedule provided and ensured the French Doors sets were transported directly to Big Fish Landscapes in Herefordshire. They then moved them to the location of the show closer to the time.
Crucially, the doors were standard size and supplied in our usual easy-installation style. This meant the landscapers were able to install them into the display ready for the show to start, without any additional support required.
Afterwards, the doors were donated to various charity projects across the country.

So, why were French doors chosen for this particular project? Overall, French doors remain one of our top selling products. Mainly because they deliver when it comes to creating a fresher, brighter and more spacious feel.
They provide easy access to balcony gardens, blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. The hinged design allows doors to open out fully, maximising the flow of sunlight and fresh air. Customers love the idea of literally being able to ‘step out’ into nature and enjoy the changing seasons as the year goes by.
Beyond aesthetics, French doors offer exceptional functionality. They can dampen sound for a quieter environment and even offer a slight improvement in insulation. Additionally, our beautiful aluminium French doors are easy to maintain and add a timeless elegance that could even enhance the value of your property.
Increased Natural Light
French doors, with their large glass panes, allow sunlight to flood your living area. This is especially beneficial for smaller spaces as natural light makes them feel bigger and airier.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection
Since they swing open fully and lack a centre post, French doors create an unobstructed opening between your indoor space and balcony garden. This fosters a feeling of synergy; making your little outdoor haven seem like an extension of your home.
Improved Ventilation
On pleasant days, open the French doors to allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home. This can help regulate temperature and reduce dependence on air conditioning, especially valuable in smaller spaces or balconies that can trap heat.
Unobstructed Views
Aluminium French doors provide expansive views of your balcony garden. This is a major advantage in a smaller space, as maximising the visual connection to the outdoors can create the illusion of more space.
The ultimate goal of a balcony garden is to create a space for relaxation and enjoyment. A joyous goal that was instantly achieved within the designs on show. Designs that we were lucky enough to see in person.
Often seen in bustling cities, balcony gardens reign supreme as an urban oasis; providing a sensory experience filled with sights, sounds and a feeling of serenity. Many displays therefore incorporated features to create an inviting outdoor haven, with the surrounding greenery framed perfectly by contrasting black French doors.
Bold flower combinations, varying textures of foliage and colourful container set ups completed the displays, adding a sense of vibrancy and possibility. Unsurprisingly, it was impossible to choose a favourite.
Our team enjoyed an unforgettable experience attending the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Here’s what senior member of the team Matt Shaw had to say:
"Showcasing Climadoor patio doors at the Chelsea Flower Show has been an incredibly rewarding and inspiring experience.
The collaboration with RHS allowed us to present our products in a new and innovative way that we wouldn't ordinarily be able to do, and the balcony garden setting really highlighted how easily indoor and outdoor spaces can be integrated, regardless of size.
The feedback from visitors has been overwhelmingly positive too, and when we visited to see the exhibition in its finished state, it was brilliant to connect with a community that values both the aesthetic appeal of Crittall-style doors and their flexibility. This partnership really has underscored our commitment to quality and innovation in home design."
Matt attended the event with his much loved grandmother and her sister. As a family run business, events such as this provide a real pinch-me moment and lasting memories for the entire team. Thanks again for having us, RHS!
