What are the Benefits of French Doors

Not only do French doors look nice, they can add a whole host of functional and financial benefits to your home. A true investment, find out why so many people are choosing to install French patio doors. 

Exposure to Natural Light 

Possibly the main reason most people invest in exterior French doors is due to their ability to bring far more natural light into your home. The large glass panes function as windows and can completely change the atmosphere of your home when more sunlight is let in when the doors are closed – and when they are open, the great outdoors is let into your space, which is sure to improve both the spirit of the room and the mood of the occupants. 

Secure 

Although a common myth proposes that French doors are not secure, they can actually increase the security of your property. Many of the locks are customisable and have gone through rigorous testing to ensure they can provide high levels of security to your home. 

Increased Access Through Your Home 

The functionality of external French doors is another key selling point. Adding these extra doors in your house gives you an easy and quick access point. The larger doors are great for allowing larger items to be brought into the home through a spacious entryway, but the increased access also helps homeowners to utilise both their indoor and outdoor space at every opportunity. 

Reduces Bills 

French doors are known for being energy efficient. The doors are made from thick glass, which can help insulate the home. Compared to other styles of doors, French doors are quick to close, ensuring less air escapes from your property, meaning you will not need to spend extra cooling it down in the summer or heating it up in the winter! 

The doors are also often designed to fit closely into the brickwork frame, and the tighter the doors fit into this space, the less heat can escape. 

UPVC French doors and aluminium French doors are also more efficient and insulating than timber. 

Durability 

Both aluminium and UPVC are incredibly durable materials, so you can rest assured knowing the frames of your doors are sure to stand up to their use! The glass used is also high-strength – the panes are double glazing and have been toughened for added resistance. This makes French doors perfect for use in family homes that might be slightly more accident prone! 

Aesthetic Benefits 

French patio doors are a great aesthetic choice for a wide range of properties. Whether modern, industrial, rustic or traditional, a set of French doors can elevate any space. 

Increase Your Home’s Value 

Many buyers are looking for homes that will allow them to utilise their outdoor space, and rooms flooded with light will never not be popular due to how they make the home look and feel. 

Due to this, the addition of French doors to a property can directly cause an increase in the value of the home when it goes on the market. These types of doors are timeless and will never go out of style, so they are a great investment if you are looking to sell in the future.
