Seattle’s Best Replacement Doors
Storm doors from Procraft come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. In cases where security is a concern, a storm door can protect you and the occupants of your home from having the front door kicked in. Storm doors don’t have to be monstrous pieces of imposing metal. There are many options available that will add both beauty and value to your home.
What Are the Benefits of a Storm Door?
When it comes to storm doors, many people think they only have one purpose: to protect your house against wind, snow, and rain damage. Storm doors actually have four main benefits:
- Energy Efficient – Even if your main door is energy efficient, a storm door can add an additional insulating buffer between the inside of your home and the freezing winter cold or scorching summer heat. Whether your house warms up in the morning, afternoon, or evening, a storm door can delay the onset of the heat for quite a while.
- Exterior Door Protection – A storm door will protect your regular door from wind-blown debris and the elements which will serve to lengthen the overall life. It can also protect your main door from being kicked in.
- Home Security – If you’re away from the house, a storm door can be a deterrent to anyone looking for an easy score. They add an additional layer of security that most burglars will wind up avoiding. Sometimes HOA’s may have specific rules about storm doors – be sure to check the bylaws and see what is and isn’t allowed.
- Creepy Crawlies – A properly installed storm door will keep ants, roaches, flies, and bugs of all kind outside where they belong.
Types of Storm Doors?
There are several types of storm doors to choose from. In addition to selecting size, color, and shape, you can also opt for:
Ventilating storm door – This door has a pair of glass panels which can be slid up and down to reveal a window screen. It adds additional ventilation to the home while keeping everything and everyone safe and secure.
Full view storm door – There is a full-length glass panel which reveals a small window design. It allows for additional light to be let in and can add an extra layer of security depending on the brand.
Roll screen storm door – This type of storm door utilizes elements from both of the above doors. A screen that rolls up reveals a full-view door. Slight differences may exist between door manufacturers.
Are Storm Doors Necessary?
If your home could stand to benefit from extra energy efficiency, an added layer of security, and protection from drafts, then a storm door might be worth it. If you have an old wooden door that has seen better days, a storm door will definitely help conserve energy in the warm summer and cold winter months.
If your front door is exposed to the weather, or the hot morning or afternoon sun, then a storm door can actually lengthen the life of your front door significantly. It can also prevent the front door from becoming warped due to the hot sun shining on it year after year. They’re also an economical solution if you can’t afford to replace the front door.
