Storm Doors Are An Exterior Door’s Best Friend

If the entry door to your home is sturdy and durable, then adding a storm door may feel like an unnecessary expense to some homeowners. Regardless of how durable your exterior door might be, a storm door plays an equally important role. It protects your entry door from harsh, damaging elements, while also improving the overall comfort and security of your home. Storm doors are a welcome addition to an exterior door and offer many unique benefits in return.

Protects Your Front Door

Your front door is subjected to frequent harsh conditions, including snow, ice, rain, wind, and sun. If you’re wanting to add an extra layer of protection to your exterior door to keep it looking and functioning great, a storm door is the perfect accessory. High quality exterior doors are an expensive investment, so protecting your investment is an obvious choice.

Increases Energy Efficiency

Make your home more energy efficient by adding a new storm door. If you have an older home, it’s possible that the exterior doors don’t fit as tightly as they once did. Doors that don’t fit the doorway properly are a real energy drain. They can let warm air inside in the summer and allow cold air to come in during the winter. Having a new storm door installed can help improve the energy efficiency of your home by providing an extra barrier against all those drafts.

Reduces Noise

Storm doors provide an extra sound barrier to help reduce the amount of noise that enters into your home.  Make your home even more sound proof with a new storm door and enjoy the silence.

Provides Additional Security

A new storm door with a lock provides an additional barrier to help keep out unwanted intruders. Storm doors offer many versatile security features to keep your home and family feeling safer and more protected.

Enhances Curb Appeal

If you have an older exterior door, but aren’t ready to replace it quite yet, a new storm door is an easy and effective way to boost curb appeal by making your entryway look more aesthetically pleasing. Storm doors are available in a wide variety of decorative styles and colors to suit nearly any type of home.

Brings in More Light

A new storm door is a wonderful way to let in more natural light. This is especially true for homes with long foyers attached to the entryway. A new storm door also allows you to open the front door and bring in lots of sunlight, without allowing bugs and other outdoor elements to make their way indoors.

Improves Ventilation and Air Flow

A new storm can give you access to fresher air during the spring and summer months by helping to keep the house cooler. While it’s certainly not practical to leave your front door wide open, with a storm door, you can! A new storm door usually comes with fiberglass or a screen type window option which allows you to open your front door without the risk of letting unwanted bugs and critters inside.
