What to Know About Storm Doors

What are storm doors?

These doors are exterior features with glass panels, and they're installed in front of traditional doors. They're insulated, keeping cold air out and helping you stay comfortable without consuming additional energy. Some styles offer removable panels or inserts, which can be replaced with screens during warm weather.

What benefits do they offer?

These doors offer protection from the elements, such as rain, snow, and ultraviolet rays that fade the paint or stain of your main entry doors. Because storm doors conserve energy, you save on heating bills throughout the winter. The glass panels allow in extra light, and removable sections let outdoor air circulate during the warmer seasons.  

Do they provide security?

Storm doors come with locking and latching features that add a layer of protection over your current door. Security doors are also available with decorative wrought iron designs. These boost your property's visual appeal and ensure your peace of mind. The glass panels allow you to see outside without opening the locked door.  

Do they come in different styles?

Various styles and colors are available to complement your home. Options include full glass panes, which offer top-to-bottom visibility and light, and high-view styles that have glass on the top half of the entryway. Three-quarter glass is available, as well as ventilating doors with sliding glass and a built-in screen for all-season versatility.
