What is a Storm Door & Why Do I Need One?

May 28, 2020

Define & Protect Your Entryway with the Addition of a Storm Door!

The purpose of any door is to create a barrier between your home and the outside. Your doors protect your home from unwanted guests and creatures, and fends off the elements. Sometimes, your exterior door could use some help from a storm door!

A storm door is a secondary door that is hung outside of your exterior door. Storm doors are available in many different styles, sizes, and materials. Most have interchangeable or retractable glass and screen panels to compensate for the weather changes. 

Regardless of the style or size, storm doors offer a variety of benefits, including: 

Protect Your Exterior Door - Your exterior door is generally more expensive than a storm door. For most, your front or entry doors have special stains, paints, windows, and hardware that could benefit from a little bit of extra protection. A storm door can block the elements and debris blowing in the wind from damaging your exterior door, helping it last longer and saving you money.

Increase Your Energy Efficiency - In the summer months, a storm door with a screen can allow ventilation and cool your home down on the hottest days. Storm doors typically have three layers: a front and back, and an extra interior layer of insulation. In the winter months, the extra insulation and glass pane can assist in keeping your home warm and cozy. If your home has air conditioning, a storm door can also help keep the cool air in!

Keep Pests Out - Storm doors with screens installed can help let in a nice cool breeze on a warm summer day. Simply opening your exterior door without having a storm door is an invitation for bugs and other pests to enter your home. A storm door will allow for the air flow while keeping uninvited insects out.

Additional Security - It may not seem like it, but storm doors can actually be discouraging to burglars. Storm doors are commonly built with locks, adding even more protection for your home, your family, and your belongings.
