French doors hail from the latter part of the Renaissance. A French door is also known as a French window, and refers to a door that has multiple windows set into it for the full length of the door. These windows are an efficient and beautiful way to maximize the light in your home. French doors can be pre-hung as a single or double door unit, or combined with the proper track and hardware, and utilized as bi-fold, sliding, or pocket doors. Exterior French doors can be ordered to meet Energy Star guidelines to protect both the environment and your family budget.

Meeting the U.S. Department of Energy’s strict criteria, Energy Star qualified French doors save energy and money, maximize the comfort of your home and protect your valuable possessions from sun damage. Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices—including Energy Star French doors. And with studies showing that over 40% of a typical home's annual energy budget consumed by windows and doors, Energy Star labeled windows and French doors are one of the most effective tools in conserving energy and reducing heating and cooling costs. Energy Star guidelines assess the U-factor and the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) for windows and French doors. The U-factor is commonly described as the amount of heat transferred through a material. The lower the U- factor, the slower the rate of heat flow and the better the insulating quality. The SHGC refers to the amount of heat from the sun that windows and doors allow into the home. The lower the number, the greater the ability to reduce the amount of heat absorbed into your home. Installing Energy Star French doors then makes dollar sense.
