So, have you’ve ever wondered where the name French Doors came from? This might come as a surprise, or not, but the name French Doors came from the French themselves.
The French designed a window-like-door between the 16th and 17th Century France with glass panes which extended from the top to bottom of the door. This door provided the perfect proportions of light in their homes. This was a great fit for lifestyles of that time, since humans had yet to invent electricity for the household. This meant that even on the dimmest days the doors would allow for much needed natural light to enter. With so much rich history behind this door, it’s no wonder people have been choosing this door for centuries.
French Doors can be Single Hinged, Double Hinged, or Center Hinged. A couple of history papers say that French Doors were first made from wood and wrought iron for additional style. Today French Doors are made out of wood, aluminum or vinyl.
Either back then or today French Doors are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. They are practical and stylish. You can get many design options today that allow just as much light into your home without compromising the room temperature.
Unlike the French Doors in the past new glass options allows for optimal energy efficiency and safety. New doors too are built to last. They are both strong and durable.
