The Benefits of Installing Storm Doors
How Storm Doors WorkIf your door is old but still in good condition, security storm doors could be a good investment. That’s because storm doors increase your home’s energy efficiency, and the older your existing door, the greater potential for savings. Storm doors seal out drafts by creating an insulated air space that reduces the amount of hot or cold air transfer between the inside of your home and the air outside.Types of Storm DoorsStorm doors are constructed of aluminum, steel, fiberglass, or wood, and feature additional elements such as screens and removable glass panels. While some doors have fixed, full length screens and glass panels that slide out for ventilation, others have half glass and half screen panels that slide past each other. The best storm doors are constructed with low-emissivity glass, further enhancing the door’s energy-saving capabilities.
