Benefits of Installing Exterior French Doors in Your Home
French doors can let more light into your home, create a near-seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, and transform the look and feel of any room. Our exterior French doors are versatile and can work as patio doors, entry doors, or custom doors for your home office or bedroom.
Some other benefits of French doors include that they’re:
- Easy to clean and maintain: Our vinyl French doors wipe clean with simple household cleaning products. Our wood French doors require minimal maintenance to retain their natural beauty, and they can be stained or painted to match your home.
- Long-lasting: Our vinyl French doors are incredibly durable. They won’t crack, warp, or rot. As an added benefit, they also decrease drafts and noise. A properly maintained wood French door will provide many years of beauty and performance.
- Energy-efficient: Like all the doors we make and install, our French doors are made to help your home maintain heat in the winter and keep it cool in the summer.
- Versatility: Our French doors will look great as exterior or interior doors.

French Door FAQs
How Do French Doors Work?
French doors work virtually the same as other hinged doors: Depending on your preference and the instructions you provide to your design team, the doors will open outward or inward. The doors typically use a bolt lock and feature double-glazed glass to bolster security and energy efficiency.
How Long Do French Doors Last?
Are French Doors Drafty?
How Do I Weatherproof My French Doors?
If your doors have been installed and sealed properly, you likely won’t need additional weatherproofing. However, if you require additional weatherproofing for your French door, you’ll need to ensure the gaps between the door and your opening are properly sealed.
To check the seals, remove the door trimming and place a piece of paper under the door. Close the door and pull the paper out slowly to reveal how much debris you can see on the sheet.
Depending on how much debris is left on the paper, you’ll likely need to use caulk to seal any gaps. If the gaps are too large, caulking may not be an option. Instead, you may need to install weatherstripping or consult with the Potomac View Energy team to understand your options.
Can French Doors Have Screens?
Yes. With the way French doors operate, homeowners simply need to install hinged door screens on either side to allow for increased privacy, bug protection, and shade. Consult your Potomac View Energy team to understand what screen options are available for your French door installation.
