After the conflict was resolved, the French came back home with the knowledge of this timeless architectural relic.The blending of a door into window offered so many advantages that this design became rampant in France and eventually its genius spread across the globe. Therefore, if you are contemplating fenestration for home improvement or are building a haven from scratch, turn to French windows for exceptional aesthetics and advanced functionality

What are the benefits of French Windows?

The design of these windows includes a flying mullion which means both sides of the window opens, with one side taking the central pillar with it so you get a complete opening unobstructed by a structural post. This is great for providing maximum fire egress functionality, especially on smaller cottage windows. This design also means that you will get the maximum benefit of the available light as well as making the most of any views you have available, not to mention the fantastic ventilation they provide.
