What Is a French Door?
French doors are a pair of doors made primarily from glass. Sometimes referred to as French windows, they originated in France during the 17th century. Since then, these doors have gained popularity in England and parts of Europe, eventually becoming famous worldwide for their sophisticated design.
French doors typically open to an exterior area of the home and may be used instead of standard patio doors. They can bring a new aesthetic to any garden or patio area with a light construction and elegant feel. These doors often have attractive grid patterns but may also be crafted with full lites of glass.
French Doors vs. Double Doors
Both French and double doors have two opening panels, so what is the difference between them? What distinguishes French doors from the double door style is that the French variation has panels made chiefly of lites of glass. In contrast, double doors are often made mostly of solid wood or another opaque material.
Benefits of French Doors
For homeowners looking for a classic or European look for their property, French doors may be the prime choice over sliding patio doors or standard patio doors. They create a more dramatic effect than a single door. Additionally, French doors welcome plenty of natural light into the home and offer a stunning focal point to gardens, backyards, balconies, pool areas, and patios.
Why Choose Our French Doors?
French doors from Minnesota Rusco have the practical benefits of long-lasting durability, customizability, and energy efficiency, all while having a stylish, sleek design.
Energy Efficiency
With high-performance glass, our French doors can save you money on energy bills throughout the year. The glass includes Low-E coatings and a polyurethane core for insulation. The Low-E clear glass lites allow ample light into the home while blocking UV light. This means homeowners can comfortably enjoy the sunshine without the sun’s harmful rays fading their furniture or carpet. Our doors’ quad-seal weatherstripping prevents air infiltration, adding to your home’s energy efficiency.
Durability
Like any type of exterior door, French patio doors must withstand harsh elements from the outside. Our glass doors are made to last with uPVC vinyl panes insulated with a fiberglass core. These materials add strength and prevent window decay, keeping your doors looking pristine for years to come.
Customization
At Minnesota Rusco, we want to bring our customers’ visions of their dream doors to life. Customize your French doors by choosing from our many sizes and configurations. Decorate the door jamb with an interior and exterior color, or add a wood grain finish. Next, dazzle your door with brass, nickel, or silver-tone door hardware. Whether your ideal French door features gridded panels of frosted glass or single-lite clear glass, we are here to find the best door to suit your needs.

Minnesota Rusco takes pride in providing homeowners with quality home improvement products and services. You can be confident in your purchase with us, as all our ProVia entryways are backed by a non-prorated lifetime transferable warranty. For more information, download our entry door warranty PDFs.
