Reasons Why You Should Install French Doors
During the winter months, it’s easy to let your mind wander and start thinking about improving your home in time for summer. The idea of spending long days and nights in the comfort of your own beautiful home gets increasingly appealing, but where do you start? One thing that can really perfect this dream is the installation of French doors. French doors are doors with large glass panes that allow in natural light and provide stunning views of your outdoor space. Installing French doors is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. The reasons why you should install French doors are as numerous as the beautiful colours and styles available in the Ecostar range.
When installing French doors, it is important to carefully measure the opening to make sure the doors you select fit properly. You may also consider adding sidelights to bring in an abundance of natural light. Additionally, the use of high-performance glass can help regulate temperatures in your home, making it more energy-efficient and affordable. When you have finally chosen the perfect French doors, look for a professional and experienced installer. It is important to remember that the installation process is more than just mounting the doors to the frame. The installation of French doors involves setting the doors into the rough frame of the opening, measuring and prepping the frame, as well as cutting the door and jamb, enlarging if necessary, and adding extra shims for level and plumb. The installer will add extra weatherstripping to the frame, providing a tight seal that prevents draughts and water penetration. Finally, they will attach the trim and casing around the doors to finish the look. A well-installed set of French doors can add that perfect finishing touch to your home and can be enjoyed for many years. This timeless appeal will not only increase the property value but also provide the perfect look for entertaining guests.
The next big reason you should install French doors is for increased natural light and ventilation. These doors are made with large glass panes that allow in an abundance of natural light. Furthermore, the large glass panes along with the number of openings provide ample ventilation throughout the room. With French doors, you can also get creative with how you open up your home to the outside air, giving you a fresh and healthy living environment.
Modern French doors can also help increase energy efficiency. Not only do the large glass panes help to naturally light up the room, but they also act as natural insulation. The temperature of the house will be easier to manage thanks to the insulating panes. By preventing too much heat to enter during hot summer days, or excessive heat loss on cold days, French doors will help you save on energy costs.
The doors are designed with an advanced and secure multipoint locking system, including five steel bolts at the tops and bottoms and six steel hooks providing maximum protection. The top and bottom locks can also be electrically operated as an optional extra. This will add an additional layer of security and convenience, ensuring you can control your doors from the comfort of your home. In addition, the multi-chamber frame has been built to achieve ‘Secured By Design’ accreditation, giving you peace of mind that your home security is taken seriously. The door also features extra locking points which concentrate the load on the inner frame when deadlocked, giving you the maximum strength and protection against any forced entry attempts. The Ecostar French doors are also fitted with high-quality safety glass as standard (with an optional upgrade to laminated glass) which offers a superior security solution for your home. Furthermore, as an Eco-friendly option, the doors have been made using recyclable materials to reduce their environmental impact.
Finally and arguably most importantly, French doors add great value for money. Not only will you get all these beneficial features, but they are also more affordable than you might think. With Ecostar’s great range of quality everything you need for your perfect home.
As you can see, there are numerous reasons why you should install French doors.
