Let Hamilton Windows help you understand the benefits of each.
Choosing the right type of doors for your home can sometimes seem like a daunting task. How do you know which will work best with your living space? You know you want doors that are functional and that will suit the style of your house, but which ones to go for? Although French doors and patio doors appear similar, there are some subtle nuances. Take a look at some of the key benefits outlined below before choosing either our top quality French or patio doors in order to help make your decision that little bit easier…
French doors
- Manufactured with hinges to open inwards or outwards, you can make your choice based on the space constraints of your home.
- French doors can be fully opened on warm and sunny days so you can really make the most of your outside space.
- If you own a period property, French doors will potentially look more in keeping with the traditional style of your home – Hamilton Windows offers many French door designs, materials, finishes and grains, so you won’t be stuck for choice.
- French doors are particularly useful when getting large pieces of furniture in and out of the home.
Patio doors
- Manufactured with a sliding runner mechanism, patio doors are ideal for homes with limited space.
- There is no danger of the wind unexpectedly blowing your doors shut with force.
- If you’re keen on the minimalist look, patio doors tend not to have conspicuous door handles for the eye to be drawn to.
- Patio doors usually have thinner frames with more glass used and therefore let more light into your home.
- You are able to open patio doors just a fraction so as to let in a cool breeze.
- Safety concerns are allayed – there’ll be no trapped fingers in any door hinges.
- Hamilton Windows offers many patio door designs, materials, finishes and grains, so we’re certain you’ll find the right door for you.
