French Doors: Connecting Indoor and Outdoor Living Spaces

June 28, 2024

French doors do more than connect your home to the outdoors; they are a key design element that offers both beauty and efficiency. At Smith & DeShields, we design French doors to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Benefits of French Doors

Natural Light and Scenic Views: French doors allow abundant natural light into your home, creating an open and airy feel. The large glass panels brighten interior spaces and provide perfect views of your garden, patio, or backyard.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: These doors come in various styles and finishes to suit any home’s design. Whether you prefer modern aluminum frames or traditional wooden doors, Smith & DeShields offers customizable designs to complement your home’s architecture and décor.

Improved Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Each door creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces, ideal for entertaining and dining. They provide easy access to your patio, deck, or garden, transforming outdoor areas into extensions of your home.

Energy Efficiency: Modern French doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring double or triple glazing, low-E glass, and insulated frames. This reduces heat transfer, keeping your home cool in summer and warm in winter, and lowering energy costs.

Enhanced Property Value: Quality French doors can increase your home’s value by adding aesthetic appeal and creating usable outdoor living spaces. Potential buyers are often attracted to properties with beautiful, functional outdoor areas.
