Why use french doors for our home?

French doors 

Add a touch of class from the outside and bring a lot of natural light to the inside. They also offer a generous amount of space to walk through. But this is not all! Here are some of the most significant benefits of using a french door.

Aesthetically beautiful

Whether your home design is traditional, modern, rustic or anything else, French doors can work and look beautiful in your space. The beauty of this type of doors comes from the proportions and symmetry, but French doors of today don’t have to contain grids to be considered a French door.

Letting in all the light

When it comes to a French door, it’s all about light. This door style was developed back in the 17th century and it was the answer to allowing more light into dimly-lit homes. With that goal in mind, These doors were developed much like a window but ensured that the glass extended for most of the door’s length.

Energy efficiency

Another great benefit of these doors today is that they are energy efficient. Most of them are manufactured with dual pane glass suitable for your local climate. But additional glazing can be added in cold climates to save energy in the form of heat or hot climates to save energy in the form of cooling.

Indoor and outdoor integration

Finally, a french door can help you embrace both indoor/outdoor living. If your family tends to gather in the kitchen, adding a French door to that room can offer additional space to entertain and a view of the outside. From summer gatherings to special occasions, a French door can add a special touch of indoor and outdoor integration.

Security

As long as they’ve been installed correctly, they can be as secure as any other door that leads into the home.

To help make these doors as secure as possible, you can take some extra measures:

1.Install double glazing rather than single

2.Cover the handles with security bars at night or when you’re not home

3.Have laminated glass fitted which adds extra protection
