In the humid local climate of Kahului, HI, we often see a combination of door styles, including screen doors and sliding doors. However, if you’re going to have either of these installed by Valley Isle Screen, it’s crucial to determine which one is better for your home before taking the plunge.

Benefits Of Screen Doors

Naturally, a more tropical climate attracts heat- and moisture-loving pests. Because of this, you’ll need a material that allows the house to cool down without letting insects inside. A screen door will permit airflow throughout your property and decrease the chances of insects sneaking in.

If you’re installing a single screen door instead of a double, you’ll benefit from exterior protection on your inner door, as well. Screen doors that lock provide an added barrier of security on top of a layer of energy-efficiency.

Benefits Of Sliding Doors

Sliding doors can increase the energy-efficiency of your home, allowing for an extra barrier that blocks heat from entering your cool, air-conditioned home. Another benefit to sliding glass doors is their inherent ability to let in natural light. Unlike screen doors, sliding doors don’t involve a sheet of screen material, which allows more light to penetrate the glass. With this type of door, you can fill your home with natural sunlight, making your home feel brighter and more open.

Both sliding and screen doors offer excellent advantages—the decision comes down to determining your design plans and prioritizing your preferences. Whether you need advice on how to carry out the DIY process or are looking for someone to do it for you, call Valley Isle Screen today at (808) 877-3054, or visit their website for more information.
