The Raleigh, North Carolina area is known for its mild winters and generally temperate climate. However, in this humid environment, there is no shortage of rain, wind, and even hail. Over the years, battering precipitation and gusts can take a toll on your home. With the constant opening and closing as you go about your schedule, exterior doors bear double the wear and tear.
While it may seem redundant to have a door in front of a door, storm doors can make a considerable difference in your utility bills, home security, and peace of mind. You can think of storm doors as gatekeepers, providing an extra layer of protection for entry doors and the inside of your house.
But what about convenience? With another door, you may be concerned about aesthetics, ventilation, or ease of use. At Screen Medics, we have you covered; we have a variety of options to address these concerns and more.
- Locks. If you prefer more security, storm door models with optional deadlocks as well as standard exterior key locks are available. Rather have fewer steps when re-entering your home? You can opt for a handle with an interior latch lock only.
- Visibility. Storm doors don’t have to be foreboding and gloomy. Full-length or partial-length glass allows you to see outside when answering the door and lets light in to keep your entryways bright. Do you love to open your home on those nice days? Consider self-storing storm doors with a slide-up partition to enable screen access while your entry door is propped open.
- Color. You may be looking for a neutral shade that coordinates with any combination of siding, roof, and/or porch colors, should you decide to change these later. Or possibly, you have an HOA specifying a limited amount of exterior door colors. You’ll be able to find a match with our array of available hues including black, white, gray, beige, and bronze.
As you never know exactly what the day’s weather may bring, consider our storm doors to soften the blow. With fewer worries about protection from all kinds of elements (including human ones), you might find you’ve opened the door to a more comfortable lifestyle.
