Of course, not every single aspect of purchasing and installing a storm door is peaches and cream!
Here are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind as you purchase a storm door.
Two Doors Can Be Inconvenient
When you come home with an armload of groceries or a car seat in tow, it can be frustrating to have to open two doors.
Thankfully, items like a One-Touch closer from Pella can hold your storm door open with the touch of a button.
Heat Build-Up
A storm door’s glass panels trap heat and can cause damage to a front door with prolonged sun exposure.
If your porch receives more than a few hours of direct sunlight in a day, you should make sure to open the glass panels in the door.
Installation Required
Don’t you love it when you read “Product comes assembled?”
Us too!
Unfortunately, that’s not the case with storm doors. While the storm door itself does not need to be assembled, it does need to be installed – and this isn’t always an easy task for the casual DIYer.
It’s well worth the investment to hire a professional and get your storm door installed the right way, the first time.
