Custom French Doors for All
Do you have dreams of throwing open a set of custom French doors and stepping out on to your patio or outdoor living room? You’re not alone!
While traditional sliding glass doors offer both strength and functionality, there is nothing quite like the elegance and style that a pair of custom French doors brings to a room.
What Are French Doors?
French doors feature numerous, small squares or panes of glass or a single large "window" of glass which traditionally run the full length of the door as is the case with sliding glass doors. However, unlike a sliding glass doors French doors feature hinges rather than sliders.
French Door Construction and Styles
French doors come in a variety of materials including aluminum, fiberglass, vinyl, and wood. Even better, today's French doors are typically constructed with either double or triple pane glass providing you with improved insulation, enhanced durability, and increased safety. French doors come in two primary models: inward swinging or outward swinging.
An Alternative to Hinged- French Doors
While having sliding glass doors was quite popular in the 1970s, many of today's homeowners prefer the look of French doors. However, not all homeowners have the room or outdoor space to accommodate custom French doors. In an effort to accommodate these homeowners, some manufacturers are now offering a third alternative… sliding French doors. These doors incorporate the visual appeal of custom French doors with the space saving properties of sliding doors.
As you can see, even if you have limited door space, or have concerns about energy efficiency and safety, you can still achieve the elegant look of custom French-style doors.
