Can French Doors Take the Place of Sliding Patio Doors?

Often paired with picture windows, sliding doors are a popular option for connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces. They are aesthetically pleasing, space-savers, energy-efficient and easy to use. However, if your existing ones require replacement and you are thinking about giving your home a different look, you may be thinking about getting French doors. 

Read on to learn if you can replace your sliding patio doors with French doors. 

Think About How Much Space You Have

While an attractive option, French patio doors can consume more space than sliding doors. If you want them in your home, make sure you have enough room for when the panels are completely opened. Consider where your sliding doors are currently installed, and be sure the panels won’t bump into your furnishings and walls.
