The Pros of Installing a Storm Door
Many people think that when it comes to storm doors vs. exterior doors, you only need one, but that's not the case at all. Look at some of the biggest reasons to invest in a storm door for your North Texas home.
More Natural Light
A storm door is built with a glass panel that allows natural light to pour into your interior space. On sunny days, the exterior door can stay open while the storm door keeps your home well-insulated—the result: a sunny foyer that's still safe and well-insulated.
More Fresh Air
Similarly, your storm door lets fresh air into your home on breezy days. Simply swap the glass panel for a screen panel or roll down the screen to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of a spring day. Best of all, you can listen to the rain without worrying about the interior of your home getting wet.
Energy Savings
So, "What is the point of a storm door?" Better energy savings are at the top of the list. An exterior door is designed to insulate your home and keep it at a comfortable temperature year-round. Even the best exterior doors can allow air to seep into your home, making your HVAC system work overtime on particularly hot or cold days. A storm door creates another layer of insulation, which, in turn, drives down energy costs each month.
Added Security
Storm doors are equipped with locks that can only be operated from the inside (or with a key.) This adds a layer of protection for your family and the people you love most. Together, your storm and exterior doors will keep your family safe and unwanted guests outside where they belong.
