Rain or shine, storm doors are important for weather proofing your home. A storm door is the second, outer door commonly installed for protection against bad weather and ventilation in fair weather. Storm doors come in many styles and materials. Typically, a storm door has an interchangeable or retractable screen. When the weather is warm, the storm door can allow ventilation without letting bugs into your home. In cold weather, the storm door protects your main entry door from ice, rain, and snow. A storm door does not only increase the lifetime of your main entry door but also creates insulation to keep warm air in and cold air out.
Do You Need a Storm Door?
