If your home's entry door is sturdy and durable, it can be easy to think of a storm door as an unnecessary expense. However, a storm door not only protects your home from harsh weather conditions, but it can also offer added security against intrusion and enhance energy efficiency, among other benefits. To decide whether a storm door would be appropriate for your needs, consider some its unique advantages.

7 Benefits of a Storm Door

1. Energy Efficiency

The basic principle of insulation is to ensure that the barrier's seal has no gaps to let temperature-regulated air escape and unregulated air enter. Depending on its material and design, a storm door can help improve your home's insulation by adding another barrier to your entryway, which is one of the parts of your house most susceptible to drafts.

2. Noise Reduction

Noise is energy that travels through air molecule vibrations. Recording studios use double-glazed windows and double doors packed with thick material to slow down the vibration of air, reducing the entry of noise into a room. Storm doors introduce the same noise-reducing effect, turning your home into a relaxing, quiet haven.

3. Style

Your home's entry door is one of the first things your guests see. To make a good impression, introduce your home in a welcoming and stylish manner. Manufacturers can craft elegant storm doors according to your specifications, using materials such as aluminum, plate glass or plexiglass, wood, and PVCs.

4. Affordability

You will have to buy either a prefabricated door or the materials to make one, along with a contractor to have it installed. A beautifully designed storm door made from durable materials might be a better solution than replacing an old door that is still presentable and reliable.

5. Ventilation & Airflow

Storm doors come with either fiberglass or screen-type windows. Most are versatile, allowing you to switch between using fiberglass to maintain indoor temperatures or full screens of wire to let cool air enter and provide better ventilation.

6. Security

A new door with a lock is an added security barrier for any home. Storm doors can come with a bolt-and-padlock security feature, advanced security vault locks, or strengthened screens and reinforced fiberglass.

7. Value

Storm doors are durable and affordable. Made from aluminum, wood, or other sturdy materials, and manufactured with expert craftsmanship, they can be a good investment that can add value to your home in case you decide to sell it in the future.
