A French door is a door that has multiple lites, or pieces of glass that are cut and fit for the full length of the door. French doors made of double-pane glass may have the decorative grill embedded between the panes. The decorative grill may also be superimposed on top of a single pane of glass in the door. Also, French doors can have decorative patterns cut into the glass for an elegant touch.
French doors are of light construction, usually installed in pairs, with divided glass panes extending most of their length. They are esteemed for their visual grace and their ability to transmit light between spaces even when closed. Many homeowners are choosing French doors because they add a unique feel of grace to a living or dining room, create an open-air look, and help to better the access between rooms within a home.
French doors are known for their long, rectangular window panes that fit across the entire door. French doors are considered patio doors although both panels function as a normal door. French doors are good for adding more light to a room.
To measure your french doors, start measuring at the inside of the door opening. Then, measure the width, length, and height of the door frame. Since both sides of the door open, you also need to measure how wide the doors swing.
To lock French doors, use the Window World Multi-point lock system for an added layer of security.
French doors normally do not include screens because they are not part of the original design. However, you can add a screen to a french door so you can leave them open without letting in insects.
French doors can open either inward or outward. When you choose Window World of Jersey Coast for your installation, we set your doors to open inward for a smooth transition from room to room.
To hang curtains on french doors, you need to find curtains that exceed the length of the window to cover the top and bottom of the window pane. Otherwise, you follow the normal curtain installation instructions of installing a curtain rod and attaching the curtains to the rod.
