French Door

French doors are hinged doors – typically patio doors – operating as an inswing or outswing doors.
The term “french door” comes from the 17th century France. A french door has vertical panes of glass across the entire height of the door minus the rails. The purpose of a French door is to allow more light than other doors without glass or with lesser amount of glass while beautifying the room and increasing the architectural appeal of the entire house. The original French doors were mostly made out of single pieces of glass and wood. Most of the French doors have colonial grids in them. A French door is an overwhelmingly popular choice of homeowners, remodelers and architects in New England because they bring more light into a room, beautify the building, and provide for a wide open entrance when two panels (slabs) are open. Another functional benefit of a French door is the availability of the wide entrance in case you need to bring into your home larger appliance or furniture and your front entry door is simply too narrow.
