Sliding Doors vs. French Doors

Melissa z.
6年前

Hi,


I have a 16 foot opening on an addition we are doing.

The house is a tudor style home but has a transitional feel.


Do I go with a 16 foot slider (in 4 foot panels) with mullions to make a 2x2 grid or do I do a set of 3 french doors (5 feet each opening)?

Any thoughts?


Is there a difference in using vinyl or aluminum on the sliders? Will anyone notice the difference?

    consider your floor plan, and where you want the opening(s) to be located. if you are veering around a central grouping of furniture, having an option to go right or left is good. if the furniture is more to either side, the center door works.

    i like 3 sets of french doors, they are far easier to open and close than giant sliding panels. but that swing has to be arranged around.

      Thanks for the reply. What about the material being used? Vinyl vs. Aluminum?

      Aluminum is a much better choice.

      Where is the home, what colors are you looking at, do you require a wood or "woodlike" interior?

      French doors need space to open so think about that . Since the house is a “tudor” style french doors to me would be a better choice , wood would be my choice or aluminum clad wood and IMO no mullions

      do you mean muntins?

      Mullion/muntin: A mullion is a heavy vertical or horizontal member between adjoining window units. Muntins are the narrow strips of wood that divide the individual panes of glass in a traditional sash.
