What are French windows?

In France, the so-called French windows are called ports-fenêtres, which means "doors with a window".

Indeed, depending on the type and the installation, to some of them, it could be passed through, but the wings of a real French window are narrower than a door, and their design is more elegant.

The real French windows resemble the standard ones with wings in that way that they are hinged to the window frame. Unlike them, however, they do not have a central pillar to obstruct or obscure part of the view.

In fact, they create a large opening to the outside world, so that you are not isolated, and the sun's rays to go inside and warm the home.

What is their story?

Although they are called "French", the history of this type of window began in Italy and the Roman Empire, and a boom in their architecture was observed in the Renaissance.

The Classic French windows are made of high-quality wood and are a true work of art.

Nowadays, the variant of PVC and aluminum is more common, which corresponds to the trends toward simpler, cleaner, and minimalist interior design. In addition, some of their properties such as thermal insulation, light transmission, and security are increased when replacing wood with another material.

Here are some of the reasons why so many families choose homes with tall windows:
