Not too long ago, I found that my old front door was no longer the right fit for my home. After years of constant exposure to the elements, our old wooden door had gotten warped to the point where even closing it became a chore.

I needed a replacement door and at the same time, I also realized I had an opportunity to improve my home.

In the continuing fight against climate change, I could choose a more energy efficient replacement door for my home and chip in to the cause just a bit more. Of course, I still had to figure out which door would actually work best with that purpose in mind.

French doors and sliding doors stood out as intriguing options. Are sliding doors or French doors more energy efficient? That’s the question I wanted to answer.
