French Doors

French doors are doors as we have known them since we first began to identify the object to the name – a two-panel structure that opens and closes in a swinging motion on a hinge. While sliding patio doors are masters at space saving and merging spaces, French doors are excellent for spaces between which you want to mark a clearer boundary.

An advantage they offer to sliding doors is that you can open them out wide, unlike sliding doors where at least one panel of the door would remain fixed. Therefore, if you have no limitations on space, French doors will serve you very well. Moreover, the number of design options available to you for French doors is the highest of all.

French doors go well for entrances; and the single panel ones of them are right for bedroom doors and bathroom doors. If you happen to have a galley style kitchen, a swinging French door to it will give it a café like vibe. These doors undeniably look their best in all wood or wood and glass combinations. The classic checkered grid remains the most beloved design in French doors of all time.
