The Beauty and Versatility of French Doors

French doors are a favored option because they offer unique styling and a grand entrance. With warm wooden frames and large glass panes, French doors enhance any room. Their light transmitting capabilities have made them popular since the Renaissance days in France.

French doors began as French windows with large, paned glass encasements. Soon these became doors that opened out to small wrought-iron balconies. Around the 1600s this idea was adapted and used for interior doors. French doors have carried with them the charm and romance from their inception.

An uninterrupted flow of light enlarges and warms any home (while reducing energy consumption). French doors are a common choice in warm African and Caribbean climates. They are also a good choice for moderate climates to take advantage of premium sunlight.

When these graceful doors come in pairs they truly make a statement. French doors that open from the center give a regal ambiance.

Not only do they have a nostalgic feel, French doors possess a contemporary practicality. French doors compromise the look and feel of an open floor plan with the need for noise reduction and privacy. French doors allow a sound buffer without complete isolation from the rest of the household.

Those that work from their home office, study, or library request French doors. Frosted French doors are an option for wine, pantry, and laundry rooms. Textured or frosted glass choices even allow enough privacy for the bedroom.

Outside of the home, French doors have been used on cruise ships, to separate dining areas of restaurants, and in countless office and business settings.
