French doors are a favorite among homeowners who love traditional designs and aesthetics. If your home needs patio doors that incorporate traditional looks and modern benefits, Renewal by Andersen® has the perfect ones for you. We share their merits in today’s post:
Visual Consistency
French doors, when opened, create a perspective that makes your indoor and outdoor spaces feel like one large, continuous space. French doors typically open inward, but our Frenchwood® patio doors are also available in an out-swing version.
Ventilation
Open French doors are the biggest openings a home can have, often even bigger than the entry doors. This means French doors are great for providing immediate ventilation for large spaces, such as when venting out stale air after returning from a long trip. Regular ventilation also helps keep particulate and volatile organic compound levels low.
Daylighting
Daylighting is the practice of illuminating your indoor spaces using natural light, providing advantages like reduced reliance on electrical lighting during the day (consequently reducing energy costs), increasing your home’s interior sense of space, and, more importantly, promoting stress reduction and regular sleep through exposure to night-and-day cycles. French doors are ideal for daylighting thanks to their large glass areas, but the best part is that our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass lets natural light in while blocking harmful UV and infrared rays.
Energy Efficiency
Another bonus of our High-Performance Low-E4 glass is that it’s designed to minimize thermal transfer, which can otherwise lead to heat loss during winter and heat gain in the summer. When combined with our insulated frame options, you can expect a reduction in your monthly energy consumption.
Low Maintenance
If you’re worried about the effects of moisture and temperature changes on the door frames, Renewal by Andersen patio doors are lined with reinforced vinyl or urethane sheathes, protecting them from direct contact with moisture. This bolsters their natural insulative properties. Our High-Performance Low-E4 glass features metal oxide coatings that reduce water spotting up to 99% when activated by sunlight.
