Especially when the weather is warm, a screen door is a resident’s best friend. It offers a wide range of advantages, including greater comfort and monetary gain. Here is a spotlight on three of the biggest benefits of screen doors and screen rooms.

What Are Some Reasons to Add Screen Doors? 

1. Energy Efficiency 

Over time, a typical front door may allow some indoor air to escape. It could be by virtue of small holes or through cracks in the frame. Either way, when cool air leaves during the summer, HVAC machines have to work extra hard to replace it, wasting energy and increasing utility bills. Having a screen door in front of the original door adds an additional buffer to keep air trapped in. Most screen doors come with a glass panel to create an optional full seal.

2. Pest Control

When you have a screen door or a screen room, it allows in fresh air while keeping the bugs out. Normally, if you want a nice breeze through the front door, you have to prop it open, which invites flies, mosquitoes, and other pests. But the mesh of the screen keeps them away. Moreover, the additional screen barriers provide protection against inclement weather. Even when there’s heavy rain, none of that water should be able to make its way into the house. 

3. Home Value

Screen doors and screen rooms are coveted amenities that can be seen from afar. That helps boost their “curb appeal,” immediately giving a potential buyer a good impression of your home. Even if you’re not interested in selling soon, screen amenities add value to the property, enabling you to elevate your asking price should you ever decide to sell. Many prospective buyers love the inside and outside feel of a screen room while appreciating the versatility of a screen door.
