Storm door

Storm doors are typically made from wood, aluminum and plastics such as vinyl (PVC) and fiberglass.

While wooden screen doors can be visually the most appealing, the wood itself requires painting or some other form of coating to protect it from the weather.

Using wood thicker than one inch allows the storm door frame to accommodate glass panels.

They can also be moulded in such a way as to realistically mimic wood grain to provide the appearance of a wooden storm door.

Both PVC and fibreglass storm doors incorporate chemicals to slow the effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

[2][3][4] Whether it's heavy rain, snow or wind, the storm door serves as a barrier, helping to maintain the structural integrity of the main entrance and minimizing deterioration.

[7] Many storm door designs feature interchangeable glass and mesh panels, allowing you to control airflow and lighting.

Conversely, in bad weather, the glass panel serves as an additional barrier without impairing visibility or preventing natural light penetration.
