Benefits of French-Style Sliding Doors

Want the elegant feeling of French doors but don’t have the space for swinging doors? French-style sliding doors combine the convenience of a slider with the appearance of French doors. If you have limited space due to small room sizes or furniture placement near your patio door, French-style sliding doors may be the perfect choice.

With French-style sliding doors from Milgard, you can create an entryway that is great-looking from both an interior and exterior point of view. A French sliding door has the look of a traditional French door, with wide rails and stiles, but functions like a sliding door. This means you don’t have to plan for door swing space or arrange your furniture so that your patio doors can be opened fully.

Clean lines, smooth surfaces, and ample natural light are must-haves when creating a contemporary home style. 

French-style sliding doors play a perfect role in creating a modern-style living space while maintaining the ease of function that your family will appreciate.

Choosing to replace old doors with French-style sliding glass doors can not only elevate the style and beauty of your home, it can also provide increased functionality, safety, security, and energy efficiency. Even quality doors and windows lose efficiency with old age. New patio doors are built with energy efficiency in mind. Sliding French-style doors from Milgard are manufactured to operate smoothly and efficiently, so no more struggling with that old slider door.

If you are searching for a design option that adds a sense of sophistication and luxury to your home, French doors may be the best patio door option for you. And if space is an issue, you can still get that French patio door look without the swinging door. French-style sliding patio doors have the appearance of traditional French doors, with wider rails and stiles, but like sliding glass doors they glide horizontally instead of swinging in or out. Milgard French-style sliding doors are available in Vinyl – Milgard® Tuscany Series, or in Fiberglass – Milgard® Ultra Series
