French doors are often referred to as a French window because the majority of the door is made up of panels of glass. A French door is typically used as a style element, often a way to bring more natural light into a home. A french door does a spectacular job of dividing rooms in two, while connecting the 2 rooms. Take a bathroom, and a bedroom, a office and a sitting room. or kitchen onto the patio area. While a French door can be functional, it is typically used more for aesthetic purposes, to create a dramatic effect. Because a French door is so versatile, it may be a repeating theme in a home. Another option with French doors is the idea of using them as a wall. Simply by locking the door in a stationary position with a bolt or post. Creating a open effect with pairs of french doors is a way of opening up your home keeping the natural light and appeal of a bigger space.
