The French Sliding Door Video

This video explains the features of sliding French doors and what differentiates them from other external patio doors and hinged doors.

1. The French Sliding Door vs. the Average Patio Door

  • What makes a French sliding door different from a typical patio sliding door is the size of the door stile, which is the structural component of the door's edge. The stile is larger on a French sliding door, which means this type of door has less glass than does the average patio door.
  • The French sliding door can replace a hinged door or be put in to upgrade the look of your sliding patio door with what is known as a French look.

2. The Sliding Door vs. the Hinged Door

  • A sliding door is more energy efficient than a hinged door because of its tighter seal which creates less entry points for heat to escape.
  • With a sliding door, you do not have to deal with the swinging apparatus of a hinged door that sometimes gets in the way of furniture when the door is opened.
