French entry doors are a practical addition to a home. The large space opened up by the French doors creates a blending of the inside and the outside, as well as a large area of access to the home. With the double doors open wide, the room is well ventilated, reducing the need for fans and air conditioning when the weather is warm.

A PVC unit is a popular choice for its customizable qualities. The PVC door can be made in multiple colors, and even finished to look like real wood with real wood grain. French units are made with a variety of glass choices, custom paneling and other patterns, including a variety of double glazing techniques. Because they are hollow, they can be insulated to any rating, making them more energy efficient than solid wood.

Today's PVC doors are manufactured of rigid PVC. This prevents warping, and unlike wood, is not susceptible to rotting, either. Another advantage over most woods selected for french units, is the durability of PVC. With few exceptions, PVC provides longer wear, and is water repellent by design.

Design and features being comparable, the cost of PVC french doors is more economical. PVC doors are molded to specifications, and this includes custom designs, which creates a great savings over handcrafted custom wooden doors.
