Install French Doors for a Clear View Outside

French doors have long been used in home interiors but have gained popularity through the years as exterior doors.  The patio is a perfect area to incorporate a French door.  It provides a clear view from the inside to the outside of your house and is a wonderful source of light for your interior.

Be sure to purchase a French door specifically for exterior uses.  The mullions used to divide the panes and the materials of the door are quite different from interior doors.  The use of French doors on your patio can provide your home with a beautiful, new look and design.

Some options for resurfacing include:
1.    Concrete – pour concrete over your existing flooring and then color or texturize it in hundreds of ways.
2.    Bricks and Pavers – lay decorative or antique looking bricks and pavers on the flooring.  Look into cool repeating patterns to make an eye-catching design.
3.    Deck tiles – have an almost instant deck by placing snap together deck tiles made of wood or weather resistant materials.
4.    Natural stone – go from ordinary to elegant by surfacing the floor with slate or travertine.

See if your existing patio floor is a good candidate for resurfacing.  You can give the area a whole new look without necessarily having to start from scratch.
