If you live in St. Louis, you know how necessary your storm door is. Whether using it for an extra form of protection from the weather or keeping out the insects while letting the sunshine through, making sure you choose the right storm door is vital!
What does a storm door do?
Storm doors are made of three layers: a front and back make up the exterior, and the inner layer provides insulation. Together, they give your door an additional layer of protection against the outside elements. They can also allow your house to be more energy-efficient by providing weather-stripping around the top and bottom of the door.
Choosing the right storm door
The right storm door will add function and style to your porch. A full-view storm door is made almost entirely of glass with a frame around the edges. This type is ideal for a front door, allowing you to show off your entryway while still offering you extra protection.
A mid-view storm door offers a wide window while having a bottom panel that protects the door against foot traffic. Mid-view storm doors often have an additional screen over the window so you can open the glass while keeping pests out.
Much like the mid-view, a high-view storm door has a glass window with a screen protector while having a large bottom panel. High-view storm doors can be outfitted with a pet door to allow your pets to come in and out as needed. High-view storm doors are a perfect option for backdoors, allowing your family to move in and out as needed while also keeping your house safe and efficient!
