Modern French Doors Winning the Day in Perth

Custom builder of French doors and windows reveals modern design factors that are making French doors so popular in Perth.
Perth, WA, 25 June 2015 - French doors have become a popular item for Perth homeowners looking to modernise their homes. One of the hallmarks of modern design is to allow a high volume of light into homes; French doors do just that. In addition, their distinctive design is equally attractive from the interior or exterior.

Some Benefits of French Doors

French doors are versatile; they can be built in the width of two standard doors or they can cover an entire wall. Their main visual benefits are that they allow maximum light to come into a home while allowing bigger views of the outdoors. This allows for maximum integration of nature into one’s home.

Due to their width and the amount of light they allow in, French doors provide the illusion of more space in a home. Furthermore, French doors can actually increase living space during pleasant weather because they can be opened so widely as to turn a patio, garden or alfresco living area into living space.

On the interior, French doors are efficient and versatile for separating rooms. They can separate two rooms but also allow for them to be turned into one room by opening the doors. In addition, they allow more light to pass between the two rooms, reducing isolation and creating, once again, the illusion of more space. For privacy, they can be covered.

When new, custom French doors are built, they are built out of modern materials. The standard glass, for example, can be replaced by one-way glass that allows the homeowners to see out, but don’t allow anyone to see in. This provides great views while preserving privacy.

The glass and hardware of a modern French door is more technologically advanced, providing more security and reducing heating and cooling costs. This also means less time and money are spent on maintenance and repair.

Modern Design Factors

Tish Thompson is the office administrator for the Fremantle Door & Window Company. She is the “glue” that holds the builders, designers and customer staff together and helps them provide a high standard of customer service. According to Ms Thompson:

“When we create and build a custom door for someone, it gives them unlimited options. For example, we can provide a timber frame with tinted glass. The tinted glass allows the family to see out but doesn’t let anyone see in. The tint goes together well with natural timber. It provides both beauty and privacy. Some clients decide to replace their ordinary hardware with modern, more ornate hardware. These small touches can make a big difference in how a door looks.”

Ms Thompson concluded: “French doors are becoming much more popular because they are everything homeowners want: they are modern and versatile, while helping their home look more in touch with nature.”
