Choosing a Storm Door

A home’s front entryway serves to define the curb appeal and first impression your home imparts to visitors and potential buyers alike.  The front porch and surrounding spaces are the focal point of the front of your house. Certainly your front door gets a lot of attention in the design and feel of your main entryway.  But, what about a storm door?

There are numerous benefits to adding or replacing a storm door to the front or rear of your home.  Adding a second, outer door adds an additional level of comfort and protection to your home.  In bad weather conditions, durable glass panels and sturdy door frames protect both your home and your front door from damage.

Newer designs have the ability to raise or lower a panel of glass to allow fresh air in through screens that are revealed as the glass is raised.   At Tri County Windows and Siding, we think storm doors are an essential option for a well-cared-for home.  Here are some additional reasons why a new storm door makes good sense for your home.

1) More Natural Light.  Installing a storm door allows you to leave your front door open, allowing natural light to create a bright and welcoming interior space.

2) Enhanced Curb Appeal.  With fresh stylish hardware, beautiful glass designs, multiple color options and retractable screens, there are countless ways to personalize a storm door to complement the unique aesthetic of your home.

3) Exterior Door Protection.  Front door systems can be pricey. A storm door can help protect your primary door from rain, ice and snow, reducing the costs of maintenance and helping it last longer.

4) Improved Energy Efficiency.  By providing a buffer against summer heat and winter cold, storm doors can contribute to improved energy efficiency – saving you money on electric bills.
