What Is a Storm Door?
A storm door is an additional door that is installed outside of your exterior door. It provides extra protection against the elements and can also help with energy efficiency and security. Storm doors come in a variety of styles and materials, allowing you to choose one that best fits your home’s aesthetic.
One of the main purposes of a storm door is to protect your primary exterior door from harsh weather conditions. This can include rain, wind, snow, and extreme temperatures. By providing an extra layer of protection, your exterior door will last longer and require less maintenance. In addition to protecting your exterior door, storm doors can also help with energy efficiency. During colder months, a storm door can act as an insulator by creating a pocket of air between the two doors. This can help keep heat inside your home, reducing your energy costs.
Another benefit of a storm door is increased security. Most storm doors are equipped with locks and deadbolts, adding an extra layer of protection against potential break-ins. They also often come with screens that allow for fresh air to flow into your home while keeping bugs and other pests out.
When Should I Replace My Storm Door?
There are several signs that your storm doors need replacing. If you see these signs, it may be time to reach out to our experts.
Poor Fit
If your existing storm door wasn’t professionally installed, it could be the wrong size for your entry altogether. Through no fault of their own, many homeowners think that storm doors are one-size-fits-all. However, almost fitting is not the same as a perfect and professional fit. Does your storm door have noticeable gaps around it? Does it shake a lot when it’s windy, or do you find many bugs are getting inside, even with the screen? If so, then you know it’s not the right fit, and it’s time to replace it.
The Door Doesn’t Close Properly
One of the most obvious signs that it’s time for a new storm door is when your storm door doesn’t open or close as it should. Over time, storm doors can become warped or bent from regular use and exposure to harsh weather, even if you’re careful and regularly maintain the door.
Irreparable Damage
Some damage to storm doors can be repaired, but it’s time to replace the door when the damage becomes too much to repair. Storm door screens and glass can become very damaged over time from regular use. Add in bad weather, pets, and kids; the damage can come sooner than normal. Small holes can let in bugs, and you don’t want to let small cracks turn into something more.
