French Patio Doors in DC, MD & VA

If you love spending time in your garden or entertaining on the back deck, it’s vital that you have a fully functional patio door. Maybe you’re ready for an upgrade. Could double French patio doors be the addition you’re looking for?

A French door is any swinging door with glass panes throughout its length. Often, these doors are installed in pairs to create an extra-wide opening to your backyard. The added beauty and functionality of a wide patio door could be just what you’re looking for.

Benefits of French Patio Doors

There’s no doubt about it—you have many types of patio doors to choose from. What makes French doors the right choice for so many MD, DC, and VA homeowners? The benefits speak for themselves:

• Easy access to the backyard: Whether you’re hauling tables and chairs outside or you want to open the doors wide for some fresh air, double-wide French patio doors are a huge benefit. There’s no need to squeeze in and out when you choose this type of patio door.
• Versatility: If you have extra guests over and need to set up a table near the patio door, you can lock one side in place, so only one door operates. This keeps your patio door functional while still accommodating more people on the deck.
• More natural light: A single patio door lets in some light, but double French doors allow in even more, especially if you have large sidelights installed on either side.
• Great views: An unobstructed view of the exterior is priceless, especially when you’re soaking up the sight of your garden, enjoying a summer lightning storm, or watching your kids play in the yard. French patio doors provide these views.

Hinged French Doors Versus Sliding Glass Doors

As is the case in making any choice regarding your home’s access and design, whether we’re talking windows and doors or even a roof, the question largely comes down to the advantages and disadvantages. If both products are roughly equal, then it’s down to aesthetic preference. In regards to a sliding or hinged French door, let’s first define the differences:

• A hinged French door is defined by a door with glass throughout its length—often filling the innermost sections of the door. French doors can come as a single door or two doors that join with both handles facing inward. You might also hear them called a “swinging” patio door.
• A sliding glass door is essentially two large panes of glass, almost a pair of long, door-length windows, that act as a patio door. In most cases, one of the door panels is fixed, while the other rests on a track that allows it to slide. Sliding French doors do exist (a combination of the two types), but these aren’t as common.

Overall, both exterior doors perform fairly well, with some small differences in what they offer. In the case of a sliding glass door, you get a classic look and a functional option that saves space since the door doesn’t need to swing outward or inward on a hinge. French doors are often regarded as more “handsome” or elegant-looking. They can add some security and energy efficiency since the full pane and metal parts of a sliding glass door often impact thermal heat gain and loss.
