The traditional definition of a French window is two full-length panes of glass that open out onto a terrace, patio or balcony. They do not have a dividing part to the window, which is what we call a mullion. Modern French window design projects use materials including uPVC, and you can install smaller versions in casement windows too.
French windows are easy to open and close, and modern double glazing makes them very energy efficient. A French window will offer unobstructed views once you install them, and you can use multiple windows or side panels along a wall in a larger size room to cover the entire space.
Why You Should Install French Windows
Popular long before the Victorian era (and even the introduction
The long and interesting history of French windows is a part of their charm, they date back to the 17th century. In this period, France brought new architectural styles from Italy – a country they were at war with at the time. You will see the influences of Italian art and architecture throughout France.
The flexibility and versatility of French windows are also a crucial part of their attractiveness. You can use traditional and modern designs, and you can also buy shorter versions of the traditional full-length French windows, which makes them perfect for casement windows.
Another aspect of the appeal of French windows is that they offer unobstructed views when fully open. As they are in two parts, they are simple to open and close. You can also see every part of the frame when they are open, and this makes it easy to clean the hinges.
Some of the reasons you should install French windows in your home or commercial property include the following:
Traditional and modern designs: There are so many options for design when it comes to French windows. You can easily incorporate different materials and finishes to make sure that your windows fit within the look and feel of your property.
Range of sizes: There are many sizes available when you install your French windows, meaning they can fit into a multitude of spaces harmoniously. You can have full-length French windows for your kitchen that open onto your patio, or shorter-length ones for your casement windows in your loft.
Thermally efficient and double-glazed: There are many modern additions to the traditional design of French windows. With double-glazed glass, it is possible to have long-reaching unobstructed views in the summer and tall thermally-efficient windows that let in plenty of light in the winter.
You will adore French windows for their functionality, attractive design, and versatility. We offer a range of uPVC French door options for full-length design projects as well as shorter French casement windows. Our range of uPVC windows always uses high-quality materials and can fit a variety of different window sizes.
Will You Need Planning Permission?
We are sure that questions of planning permission are swirling around your head as you contemplate your project. The first thing to do is relax, as it is quite unlikely you will require any planning permission – even in a conservation area. The exception is if your installation will change the character of your property.
The design of French windows is a common sight across the UK. You will frequently see them on many contemporary and classical buildings, from brand-new builds to historic country houses. As such, it is unlikely that they will significantly change the character of your structure.
