Many of our patio design clients here at Big Easy Iron Works want patio doors for their New Orleans home that will give them the ability to enjoy the outdoors whether or not they’re actually outside, opening up their home to the fresh New Orleans air.

Patio Doors – your options abound

Double French Patio Doors

Sliding doors or French doors – What’s the difference?

When you’re looking at options for exterior doors for your New Orleans home, you’ll have a number of options to consider: French doors, traditional doors, sliding doors, and others.

Why should you install a sliding door or a French door?

Generally, our clients prefer sliding doors and French doors to traditional doors because of the view they afford of the garden and yard, and because of the sunshine they let into a room, as well as the aesthetic and unique design options available.

Here are a few of the differences between sliding doors and French doors, beyond the general aesthetic of each:

• French doors provide an aesthetic focal point for a room while sliding doors make a subtle statement that emphasizes the outdoor view
• French doors provide a wider opening than a sliding door; if you plan to move large furniture through the doors, French doors are a better fit
• Sliding doors take up less space than French doors because they don’t need additional space to swing open (French doors open into your room, so they need space to be able to swing open and close)
• Both doors can be installed with modern security features and shatterproof glass
• Sliding doors are more energy efficient than French doors
• French doors provide more freedom in controlling ventilation; you can open either door or both, depending on the amount of fresh air you’d like to let in. You can adjust the openness of a sliding door as well, but as the opening is smaller overall, your ventilation will be more limited

We’ve installed many patio doors in New Orleans, and would be happy to talk with you about your home’s specific layout and the best door for your patio.

More than a door company – a local business with local pride in the community we live in

Big Easy Iron Works is proud to be an iron working business locally owned and operated here in New Orleans.

All of our custom ironwork is done from scratch, in-house by our experienced welders. When you work with us, you know you’re getting more than patio doors for your New Orleans home; you’re getting quality service from a company invested in improving the lives of New Orleans residents.

Here are a few of the values we bring to the table:

• No cutting corners: We create our custom iron-wrought products in-house, and other products are ordered directly from the factory from trusted and vetted suppliers. We work directly with the manufacturer to ensure you receive highly rated products that will last you for years to come.
• Keeping it affordable: Because we purchase directly from the factory or fabricate in-house, we’re able to eliminate the expensive markups often added in retail. We keep prices reasonable so you can have more options in designing your dream New Orleans patio.
• Quality that lasts: For your patio door to last summer after summer, with the many times it’ll be slid open and closed and battered by wind and rain, you’ll need something made from top materials. We source high-quality doors that will last you for dozens of barbecuing years to come.
• Style and practicality: A quality door isn’t just stylish, but also practical; it insulates your home and doesn’t stick or sag. And practical doors shouldn’t just be functional – they should also be stylish elements that enhance your home. We design and install quality doors that are both stylish and practical, so you get the best of both worlds.
