What Are the Benefits of Storm Doors?
Storm doors are placed on the outside of your exterior door and act as an extra layer of protection and security. There are several types, differing in color, finishing, material, screen type, and size. Many have removable panels that can be changed depending on the season, so you can increase light or air circulation in the home.
Improve Ventilation
Storm doors can improve the air circulation in your home. With retractable panels, you can allow for ventilation when needed.
Protect from the Elements
Storm door installation can shield the front of your home, acting as a barrier from rain, ice, snow, and wind, especially in harsh weather.
Increased Security
Many storm doors come with security features like reinforced fibreglass and bolt-and-padlock security to prevent theft and burglary.
