Casement windows with French doors are like bread and butter. They just go together naturally, and they add to the look and feel of an Indianapolis home. If you are shopping for new windows and doors, we encourage you to check out a combination of casement windows and French doors that will open up your home and give you a breath of fresh air. Here are our top three reasons for this design:
1. Continuity of Style
French doors offer an elegant addition to any house. Unlike sliding doors, they open outwards into the space and make your room feel larger. They bring in tons of sunlight and fresh air and can be decorated with a wide range of styles. Likewise, casement windows open outwards instead of sliding side-to-side, so they match the look and feel of the French doors perfectly.
2. More Fresh Air and Sunlight
Thanks to the simplicity of the hinge and crank system used on casement windows with French doors, the windows and doors themselves can be less bulky. Instead of having your window space eaten up by extra tracks, supports, and other hardware, a casement window can be wide open. This makes the window feel larger and draws in more of the natural sunlight and fresh air that you’re craving.
3. Improved Security
Both French doors and casement windows limit the ability of intruders to get into your home. Casement windows only open as far as the crank allows, so you can keep the fresh air flowing without creating enough space for someone to get inside. You have more control over your window security. In addition, French doors allow you to upgrade to a keyed lock, as opposed to the latch systems that are installed on most sliding doors. You can also have a deadbolt which will significantly strengthen your doors, although that may void the warranty.
