If your current patio doors no longer function correctly or feature numerous cosmetic flaws, consider replacing them with French doors. Commonly used as interior and back doors, French doors usually open out and feature multiple panes with wooden borders. Review what makes them so ideal for your patio door project below. 

What Are the Advantages of French Doors?

1. Better View

Enjoy opening French doors every morning and taking in the scenery. They allow you to see more of your backyard without leaving the house. French patio doors that lead to an outdoor kitchen or fire pit area create an open and spacious floor plan. The ability to see more of your backyard also helps you monitor the kids or see what the dog’s up to. 

2. Natural Light

French doors flood your home with more natural light and subsequently contribute to an airier space. Exposure to natural light offers numerous health benefits, including increased vitamin D production, improved sleep from circadian rhythm regulation, and lower incidence of seasonal depression. Opening the doors during the spring and summer allows more fresh air to circulate throughout your residence. 

3. Energy Efficiency

Increased natural light reduces dependence on artificial light sources that cost money to use. By improving your home’s energy efficiency, you’ll save on monthly utility costs and reduce your carbon footprint. 

If you opt for sliding French doors, you’ll improve efficiency further. Sliding doors take little time to open and close, which means you’ll lose less hot or cold air depending on the season.
