Reasons to Get a Storm Door for Your Home

 


As you make your door replacement decisions, one choice you will have to make is whether to add a storm door to your home. While the answer may seem cut and dry, here are some things to consider when deciding if a storm door is the right option for your home.

 

A storm door is a second outer door commonly used to protect against severe weather and ventilation in good weather. Typically, storm doors have interchangeable glass and screen panels to install, depending on the time of year and climate in your area. In warmer months, homeowners will leave the main door open, allowing a breeze to come through the storm door. Conversely, in the cooler months, the glass pane can protect the main door from the weather. Storm doors also offer an added layer of insulation to keep warm air in and cool air out, or vice versa.

 

Here are some reasons homeowners choose to add a screen door.

 

Natural Lighting 

A storm door is an excellent solution if your entryway could use more natural light. Not only will it give you a mood-boosting dose of sunshine, but it can also cut your energy costs.

 

Air Circulation 

A storm door is the perfect solution if you love a natural breeze flowing through your home. Not only will it provide better air circulation in warmer months, but it will also keep pesky bugs outside where they belong!

 

Better Visibility  

Another reason homeowners install storm doors is that they usually provide better visibility than main doors, allowing you to see outside clearly. If you don't have many windows in the front of your house or like to have an unobstructed view of children or pets, a storm door allows you to leave the main door open and keep an eye on things outside.

 

Extra Security 

Many storm doors have a locking mechanism, providing you with an additional layer of protection. Not only will it add to your security when your main door is closed and locked, but you can also rest easy knowing that if you have the door open for airflow, you can lock the storm door for safety.

 

Preserve the Lifespan of your Main Door  

A storm door will help your main door last longer by protecting it from the elements. The storm door protects against hail, snow, wind, and rain throughout the year, keeping your primary door safe and helping it stay in great shape longer.
