The Benefits of Installing New Screens, Storm & Sliding Doors

The Benefits of Installing a New Storm Door

• Front Door Protection
  • The addition of a storm door in front of your entry door will provide protection against the New England weather such as rain, snow, and UV rays that can cause the paint to fade or chip
• Improve Energy Efficiency
  • Just as you have storm windows to add another layer of insulation to your home, a storm door acts the same way to trap heat and keep out the cold. A storm door is particularly useful for homeowners who don’t have an energy-efficient front door and need another door to keep out the drafts during the winter
• Prevent Insects 
  • For those who have older wooden entry doors, there may be an issue with invading bugs. Prevent carpenter ants and other insects from making a home within your wooden entry door by installing a glass storm door in front of it
• Home Security
  •  If you are interested in secure storm doors it’s important to consult our door installation and door replacement specialists regarding what type of glass door you want to be installed. Not all glass doors offer the same benefits, so if security is what you’re looking for, then be sure to mention this so we can recommend the right brand for your needs

The Benefits of Installing New Screen

• Increases Curb Appeal
  • Well maintained and clean screens will make a good impression to potential home buyers. If the dirty or damaged screens are displayed, it might lead to potential buyers wonder, where else is damaged in the house
• Damage From the Weather
  • Screens help keep out rainwater and reduce the amount of rain continually pounding your window. It also lowers the chance of mold developing because mold can appear with a small amount of moisture.

The Benefits of Installing a New Sliding Door

• Security
  • Sliding glass doors are often placed as back or side entrances to the home, they allow people outside to see inside the home, and sometimes the only thing protecting them is a simple latch. To best protect your sliding door consider installing curtains, an alarm system, and a strong lock system.
• Durability
  • Aside from using thick glass, getting weather stripping on your glass can keep your door storm proof. Using vinyl for the door frame will keep your frame from chipping and splintering compared to wood. Besides installation, regularly vacuuming your sliding door’s track can also improve your door’s lifetime.
• Cost & Energy Efficiency
  • Sliding doors are generally more energy-efficient than french doors because if they are installed professionally they can be airtight. To maximize this effect, use metals that have been injected with insulation foam to counteract metal’s ability to let heat escape (for a bonus your door handles will be less cold/hot to the touch).
