Frequently Asked Questions
A French door refers to a double door consisting of two individual doors installed side-by-side within the same door frame. French doors are characterized by multiple long glass panes in each door that allow light to flow between rooms.
The vertical pieces framing the glass called stiles are very narrow to maximize the transparent glass area. Each door swings open independently on hinges, usually outward.
When both French door halves are fully opened, it creates a wide-open passage between spaces. French doors often have an ornate, decorative style such as French Country or Provincial that makes them an aesthetically pleasing architectural design element.
They frequently serve as doorways between interior rooms or as transitional portals connecting a home’s interior to an exterior patio or deck. The full-length glass panes and two operable doors of a French door facilitate an open, airy feeling.
Here is the main difference between patio doors and French doors:
Patio doors are usually sliding doors made of glass that open by sliding along tracks. They are often used as access to patios or backyards. Patio doors are typically comprised of two panels – one slides and one is stationary. This allows for a large glass opening when fully open.
French doors typically consist of two side-by-side doors with glass panes that open outward or inward. Each door swings open independently, usually with a double hinge. When both French doors are opened, it creates a large opening for easy flow between rooms or to the outside. French doors often have a more traditional aesthetic with visible wood framing around the glass.
Outward opening French doors provide a wider entrance and better weather protection when closed, but require more exterior clearance. Inward opening doors allow more flexible placement and offer some security benefits, though the entrance is narrower. It depends on your preferences while installing a French door in your home.
