Sliding vs. Swing-Out French Doors

Sliding-vs.-Swing-Out-French-Doors

Initially used as a partition between the interior and the balcony, French doors have come a long way since their debut in the 17th century. While their function has remained the same, manufacturers have vastly improved these staples, thanks to advances in technology.

Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta installs high-quality French patio doors for a smooth indoor-outdoor transition, which we offer in two types: the sliding and swing-out systems. Here’s how to discern which suits your needs the best.

Swing-Out French Doors

French doors can turn heads because of their timeless design. Traditionally, this type of door swings out, giving you easy access to your outdoor area. They can also admit light into your living space, which can help minimize your utility costs.

At Renewal by Andersen, we use our exclusive Fibrex® material for our French patio doors. This material combines the insulating property of wood and the low-maintenance feature of vinyl. Its unique fabrication also allows us to mix and match colors to complement your home’s design.

Sliding French Doors

Homes without the extra space, meanwhile, can benefit from a hingeless door option (though it still needs extra wall width). It glides horizontally along a track, avoiding a clash between furniture arrangement and swing clearance. This little tweak to the traditional French door builds a more convenient living space. Additionally, you can choose from the multiple options available for mullions and dividers to achieve the look you want.

Long-lasting beauty and energy efficiency have been two of the many trademarks of Renewal by Andersen of Atlanta’s hinged and sliding patio doors. Our company provides high-quality products and services that meet the high standards of the industry. We’ll ensure that you get the results you want by allowing you to customize each unit.
