How are French doors constructed?
A French door is built of multiple lites, or full-length pieces of glass. Decorative grills can be embedded in between double-pane glass or superimposed on top of a single pane of glass in the door. For an elegant touch, decorative patterns are cut into the glass.
Typically, French doors are installed to open toward the inside of the house with both sides of the door opening as opposed to only one.
Do French doors allow light inside your home?
Yes. Our French doors are coveted for their visual grace and ability to let light into the room even when the door is closed. They give a room an open-air look and improves access between indoors and outdoor spaces.
What are French doors?
French doors are known for their long, rectangular window panes that fit across the entire door. French doors are considered patio doors although both panels function as a normal door. French doors are good for adding more light to a room.
How do you measure French doors?
To measure your french doors, start measuring at the inside of the door opening. Then, measure the width, length, and height of the door frame. Since both sides of the door open, you also need to measure how wide the doors swing.
How do you lock French doors?
To lock French doors, use the Window World Multi-point lock system for an added layer of security.
Do French doors have screens?
French doors normally do not include screens because they are not part of the original design. However, you can add a screen to a french door so you can leave them open without letting in insects.
Do French doors open in or out?
French doors can open either inward or outward. When you choose Window World of Joliet for your installation, we set your doors to open inward for a smooth transition from room to room.
How do you hang curtains on French doors?
To hang curtains on french doors, you need to find curtains that exceed the length of the window to cover the top and bottom of the window pane. Otherwise, you follow the normal curtain installation instructions of installing a curtain rod and attaching the curtains to the rod.
