Living in Wisconsin comes with a variety of weather and if you’re looking for additional protection or energy efficiency, storm doors might be the best option for you. We’ve helped many Milwaukee homeowners install or replace their current storm to ensure that their homes are safe and sound even during the worst storms Wisconsin can give us.
Storm Door Varieties
There are a few different styles of storm doors that each have their unique benefits to help fit your specific needs.
- Mid-view: This is when the glass panel doesn’t go all the way to the bottom of the door.
- Full-view: As you can guess, this is where the glass panel goes all the way to the bottom, giving you more of a view.
- Ventilating: A ventilating storm door has both a screen and a glass panel. This gives you the option to move the glass up to allow some air in or close it to keep all the elements out.
- Security: A security storm door is designed to keep intruders out. They are typically made of steel and many of them have metal bars in them. Not used as often for home doors.
Benefits of Storm Doors
Weather Protection
Storm doors do exactly what you think, they help create an enhanced barrier against harsh Wisconsin weather better than "normal" doors.
Energy Efficiency
Due to having an additional layer in between the outside and interior of your home, storm doors can help reduce the amount of heat or cold coming into your home.
Enhanced Security
As mentioned in some of the different styles, storm doors not only protect against intense weather but also help with potential intruders or damage by having more enforced materials.
Protection for Entry Door
Similar to storm windows, storm doors can be a great option if you're looking to keep your old door or don't want to completely replace it. Storm doors add that extra layer of protection to your entry door and help extend the lifespan.
