Welcome to today’s article! We can’t wait for you to read some interesting facts about Storm Doors! We want to thank you for joining us for another article, and wish you a happy weekend! Keep reading to learn more about Storm Door facts and even share them with your friends!

 

1. How did storm doors get their name? In the building trades, the term storm door refers to a secondary outer door that creates a buffer between the main entry door and the exterior. As the name implies, one of its principal functions is to protect the expensive entry system from harsh weather, such as rain, snow, wind, and UV rays. Hence why the door is called a “Storm Door” to protect against storms!
2. Who invented the storm door? Back in the day there was a book called “Women Invent!” In 1887 Hannah Harger of Manchester, Iowa worried about all the flies that were bothering her babies. So she invented and gained a patent for the screen door.  
3. Screen Doors Safety. One of the most common ways burglars break into a home is through the front door. Burglars can break into one door much more easily than two of them. For this reason, installing a storm door already provides added protection against break-ins.
4. Storm Doors increase energy efficiency. Most storm doors consist of 3 layers. These layers include a front and back layer, along with a layer of insulation in the middle. These layers offer a cushion of insulation so you can increase your energy costs by up to 40%! 
5. What is inside a Storm Door? Storm doors generally have glass fronts that can be replaced with screen panels or have built-in screens that can be exposed by lowering the glass panel. This design allows them to provide ventilation when the weather is pleasant. They help protect your interior from colder temperatures in the winter months.
6. A Storm Door is a year round addition to your home which will protect and provide energy efficiency for your home all year long. 
7. Storm doors are also tightly fitted inside the door frame, which provides protection from air leaking inside.
8. Wood was the original material from which storm doors were made.
9. Storm doors are available in a range of colors, sizes and designs. They can also be customized to your needs with locks, handles, closers, and pet doors.

You must be asking right now, what is a storm door? How does it protect me against the outside, and why should I invest my hard earned dollars on this specific type of door? The Importance Of Storm Doors

 

What is a storm door? 

A storm door is typically a second outer door commonly installed for the protection of bad weather and allows ventilation in common weather. Storm doors typically have interchangeable glass and screen panels which are customizable to fit many different shapes and sizes. In good weather the main door can be kept open while allowing ventilation while also keeping the bugs out. Storm doors have additional locks in place for a more secure space while still allowing the beautiful views and sun from outside. 

 

Better Protection

Secondly this additional door may also protect homes which experience extreme weather added. This added door gives you better insulation and protection from these storms. Storm doors provide protection for your main entry door from rain, ice, snow, and wind. Another perk to these doors is that they add a layer of insulation and protection against air leaks. Storm doors can create a pocket of insulation that keeps warm air in and cold air out for even more energy efficiency.  

At Conservation Construction, we have several types of storm doors in different styles and colors..

Not surprisingly the average overall price people are willing to spend on home improvements has gone up over the past two years. With how much home improvement projects add to the overall equity and curb appeal of a home, this figure is surprising, but not shocking.

With so many people spending so much money on home improvement projects, one thing is clear . . . They, me and you care about the quality of our home life and what kind of home we are living in.

Happy official first day of spring! Now that we are finally transitioning from snow to warmth it is time to consider what things will give you the most versatility for the weather. Windows are great, but so is a phenomenal storm door.

If your front door is bare and has not a storm door in sight to protect it, it might be time to consider getting one. Just like a great relationship Entry Doors work best when they have a companion. Their companion is their Storm Door.

Spring is the ideal season for Storm Doors for several reasons, but one is its ability to keep your home safe while offering optimal views of the world outside. Keep your front door open while your storm door is locked. These storm doors come with the clearest glass that is also durable. Our storm doors are heavy duty for longevity. So you know you’ll be getting a door that will literally stand up to the test of time.

Another huge reason that Storm Doors are perfect for Spring is their ventilation properties. If you are not able to afford air conditioning (as is the case in my home) you may need to rely on opening windows and Storm Doors like this one below. Our unique storm doors are fantastic in that they have retractable screens and glass which can open to afford breezes in the home. These breezes are a great way to get air flowing during spring cleaning when the old stagnant air from winter has been stuck in the house.

A second huge benefit to this door is the protective screen in the doors. Screens and storm doors are perfect to protect your home from all those little buggies that seem to fly in when spring starts back up. We’re talking about Flies, Bees, Wasps, and even sometimes dragonflies. Not to mention these doors could prevent creepy crawlies from entering.

Our storm doors are measured to perfection and have a tight seal. Our custom bottom sweep makes it incredibly hard for bugs to get inside your house. This is reason to celebrate for all the arachnophobes people out there like me (it is said that 30% of all people are afraid of spiders).

Thirdly there are many ways to customize this door. You can get a window that opens from the top or bottom. Order yours with a specialized doggy door built right into the door. For pet lovers out there, this gives you even more convenience.  Your dog or cat will be able to let themselves in and out of the house. You will stop having to get up every hour of the day. You can stay comfortable wherever you are--even when you are out of the house. How amazing is that?

In Addition, Storm Doors can protect your front entry door from being hit by “April Showers” as they come in. Protect your home from storms all year round.  They are perfect to prevent air infiltration during strong winds. This is great news for us who live in Colorado and all the bipolar weather we get all year round. 

Finally, new hardware on these doors makes them super safe and secure not just from storms, but from break ins. If you lock both your entry door and storm door you have two layers of protection for you home. This way you’ll feel comfortable whether you’re at home or away.

In conclusion, storm doors are great for spring because of their;

1. Ventilation Properties
2. Optimal Views
3. Customizations
4. Safety
5. Weather Resistance/Protection
