Why Should You Have a Storm Door?

A storm door is installed outside the main door to protect it from harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, and wind. A storm door with screen allows ventilation in the spring and summer, while a glass storm door provides insulation and improves energy efficiency in the winter. Exterior storm doors have options like locks, deadbolts, and reinforced glass for added security.

Storm Door Style

Styles of storm doors include the following:

• Full-view doors have the largest viewing area with glass from top to bottom. They are the best option for allowing the beauty of the main door to show through.
• Midview doors are similar to full view but have a larger border and kick plate at the bottom for protection in high-traffic areas.
• Single-vent doors have a panel that can be removed to expose the screen.
• Self-storing doors have a panel that slides to open and expose the screen.
• Screenaway doors have a screen that disappears above the window to allow for a clear view through the glass.

Installation & Sizing

Choosing the correct door size is important to ensure an insulating fit. Sealing the door frame with weather stripping or caulking during installation prevents drafts and water intrusion. One thing that is easy to overlook is the placement of the door handle. Doors can be configured left-handed or right-handed based on the entryway configuration.
