Custom builder of French doors in Perth area reveals why French doors have remained popular since the 16th century.
Perth, WA, 7 May 2015 - French doors, which really were created in France, have been around since the 16the century. While their popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years, they never really went away. The recent resurgence of home renovation in Australia has resulted in the French door coming back into style for many.
What are French Doors?
French doors are doors that consist of glass panels in a wood frame. The panels are usually small and divided by thin pieces of timber called mullions, but a French door can also consist of one large glass panel surrounded by a timber frame. French doors usually come in pairs and are hinged to open in the same direction, inward or outward.
Typical Uses for French Doors
French doors are usually used to connect an interior room such as a living room, family room or dining room with an outdoor or alfresco living area such as a patio, garden, deck or balcony. They can also be used to connect two interior rooms.
Why Choose French Doors?
French doors are often used to integrate the areas they divide. Because they are two doors side by side, they create a wide passageway that turns the two “rooms” into one. When used as an exterior door, they effectively add living space to the house by integrating the alfresco area with the interior room.
When used as exterior doors, French doors allow a lot of natural light to flow into the home from outdoors. This helps create an illusion of more living space and adds to the aesthetic of any home. French doors themselves seem larger than a sliding door that inhabits the same amount of space. This creates a “larger than life” aesthetic.
When used as interior doors, French doors help create a de facto “open floor plan” when opened. The passageway between rooms is so wide that they become one large room. This allows for a lot of flexibility when entertaining guests.
Custom French Doors
Fremantle Door & Window creates custom French doors and many other varieties of custom interior and exterior doors and windows from their location in the Perth area. Tish Thompson, the office administrator for Fremantle Door & Window Company, has watched French doors grow in popularity along with the “home renovation boom” that is currently happening in Australia.
According to Ms Thompson: “We create a lot of different custom timber doors for our clients. In the last few years, it seems like a lot more Australians are deciding to renovate or improve their current homes instead of moving to better homes. In particular, we have found that people really like doors that let more sunlight into their homes, such as French doors, bifold doors and sliding doors.”
Ms Thompson concluded, “It’s amazing how much bigger and better a home looks when your doors let the sunlight in.”
