French Doors


A French door is a very stylish one that can add some elegance to your home. They have multiple small windows (sometimes referred to as lights) that are incorporated into the full length of the door. They do not provide a lot of privacy, so their main purpose is to display the beautiful nature outside our homes. They are a very popular option among those who are looking for a way to bring in more natural light into their homes. A “divided lite” French door is the traditional optional, which are assembled from many pieces of glass and commonly made from hardwood. They include decorative structural elements that are designed specifically to separate window panes.
Exterior doors that are built in a French style are much different than the traditional French doors. They commonly have an ornamental grille implanted between the panes and can be one piece doors or sliding doors (depending on the use). French doors are often considered an upscale option of a door, boosting the appearance and classiness of a home. They can typically improve the curb appeal of a house to potential buyers.
There are several different reasons to consider adding French doors to the place you call home. When they are used as patio doors, they help to draw attention to the beautiful scenery outdoors. When used inside, French doors help continue the flow of a home, adding an airy look while providing a visual connection between two rooms.
