Sliding and French patio doors are among the most popular door styles used in U.S. households. After all, their design and function can be customized to match your space and style. Today, your door replacement services will differentiate the two to help you decide which one is right for your property.
Sliding Doors. This type of door is known to operate on tracks, allowing them to glide easily when opening or closing. It is ideal in space-saving because they slide along effortlessly while requiring nearly no space to be fully utilized. However, locking systems of sliding doors do not allow for a deadbolt to be installed. In addition, sliding doors only open halfway since only one door can be mobile at a time while the other remains a fixed panel.
French Patio Doors. If you’re interested in French doors installation, understand that the main advantage of this one is the ease of access. You can conveniently open up the entire width of the opening since both door panels are fully operable. It is best if you opt to improve the ventilation inside your home because you can let in as much or as little breeze as you want. It also has a three-point locking system with two flush bolts and a lockset, offering a strong security feature to your home.
Unfortunately, this material offers less viewing space because of the wide panels on all sides. You may also need to consider the fact that they usually swing into the room, which means any furniture cannot be placed right beside them.
