French sliding patio doors provide the elegance and sophistication of French doors while also allowing the convenience of a sliding door. Other than the look, French sliding doors are very similar to standard sliding patio doors. In many cases, a French slider can fit into the existing opening where a standard sliding door was originally. In this way, French sliders can make for an easy upgrade option. French sliding patio doors have a wider frame around the glass which give the look and feel of French hinged doors.
Each door type has its benefits and things to consider. Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering French sliding patio doors for your Southern California home…
French sliding patio doors do not hinge outward like French hinged patio doors. So although they don’t interfere with furniture or decorations, they don’t provide as wide an opening because at least one glass panel is fixed in place.
Although French sliding patio doors are less common, they operate much like a traditional slider. One side of the door simply slides toward the opposite side. The section that moves is called the mobile section, which slides horizontally in front of the stationary section.
