A Guide To Buying French Doors
The concept of the french door is a romantic one – a stunningly set wooden or metal door containing panes of glass (lites) which extend all the way down to the floor, opening up your garden or balcony into your home. Buying french doors for your home isn’t as simple as it may seem, though, and there are many things to consider. Different styles and constructions make french doors a versatile and and worthwhile addition to your home but some homework is advised.
If your french doors will open into your garden or the outside world, you should opt for a specialised external french door which will be double glazed. You should avoid french doors which consist of only one pane of glass, falsely separated by strips of metal or wood to give a separation effect. A true french door will have separate panes of glass (or ‘lites’) which will be individually crafted. You should avoid any type of door which claims to be a french door when it is not.
It’s no coincidence that french doors have been a popular choice for homeowners since the Renaissance era. A high quality set of french doors will open up your house and let a large amount of light in. This immediately gives the effect of your house feeling much larger than it actually is. When used internally, french doors spread light from room to room and give your home a much more open and airy feel. Exterior french doors can be a great way of admiring your garden from your own armchair.
A set of french doors not only looks great, but when installed properly will be a force to be reckoned with in terms of weather resistance. We Brits know how much it rains over here, and many people think french doors just aren’t suited to our climate. However, when professionally fitted with water-tight weather strips, a high quality set of exterior french doors will easily resist wind and rain and give you many years of good service in return.
With the dawn of the new digital revolution, it’s quick and easy to buy french doors online. However, you should always have them professionally fitted – especially if you’re fitting external french doors. Even internal doors can be tricky to fit and may require a professional fitter. Don’t compromise on quality – you should be prepared to pay for a better product and be safe in the knowledge that your doors have been professionally fitted. It will be well worth it in the end.
