Why Storm Doors Are a Necessity in Texas

Living in Texas, you know the weather can be unpredictable. One day it’s sunny and warm, and the next day, you could be dealing with a severe storm. That’s where storm doors come into play. A good storm door acts as an extra layer of protection against the elements, be it wind, rain, or intense sunlight. Aside from protection, these doors also provide convenient ventilation, allowing fresh air to enter your home while keeping bugs out. Plus, with glass and screen panels, you can enjoy natural light without compromising on privacy.

Storm doors can be a great addition to any Texas home. They protect your main entry door, improve ventilation, increase natural light, and enhance curb appeal. But, like any other home feature, they need proper care and maintenance to function effectively. That’s where American Eagle Builders comes in – we don’t just provide the best storm doors; we also offer services to keep them in top-notch condition.

Types of Storm Doors

Before diving into the specifics, it’s important to understand the different types of storm doors available. The most common types are full view storm doors, retractable screen storm doors, and select full view storm doors.

Full View Storm Doors

Full view storm doors are characterized by a full-length glass panel that allows maximum light inside your home. They come with interchangeable screen panels for seasonal ventilation and to provide protection against insects. On the other hand, retractable screen storm doors have a screen that you can easily roll up and down, offering more flexibility. Meanwhile, select full view storm doors come with an added bonus – they include both glass and screen panels that can be changed out as per your needs.

The best and most beautiful storm doors offer full-glass doors featuring the best decorative glass designs and offer the widest selection of color options to give your home a personalized look. Full glass doors let in the most natural light with the easiest ventilation options available. Enjoy the breeze and enhanced curb appeal with an unobstructed view.

You can add extra protection to your home with a traditional security door. These traditional security doors offer enhanced home protection with reversible ventilation options and maintenance-free construction.

Value with a view, the performance retractable screen storm door lets in natural light and instantly converts your storm door to a screen door for easy ventilation.

Select Full View Storm Doors

Full view storm doors and select full view storm doors serve the same basic purpose: they provide a full view of the outside while protecting your home from the elements. However, there are subtle differences between the two.

Full view storm doors are designed with a single large pane of glass that spans the entire door. This design maximizes the amount of light entering your home and provides an unobstructed view of the outdoors. Some full view storm doors come with an interchangeable screen that can replace the glass pane during warmer months to allow ventilation.

On the other hand, a select full view storm doors often come with additional features or customization options that set them apart from standard full view doors. For example, they might include a retractable screen that can be pulled down when needed, rather than needing to physically change the glass pane for a screen. Or they could offer a wider variety of decorative frame designs, glass styles (like beveled or stained glass), or hardware finishes to match the aesthetics of your home.

In essence, select full view storm doors provide all the benefits of standard full view doors, but with additional features or customization options that allow homeowners to better tailor the door to their specific needs and tastes.

Retractable Screen Doors

A retractable screen storm door is designed with the screen rolled up in a cassette at the top of the door. When you want ventilation, you can lower the screen into place. The advantage here is that the screen is hidden when not in use, which can help protect it from damage and give the door a cleaner look since it functions as a full-view glass door when the screen is retracted.

Signs Your Storm Door Needs Repair

Your storm door serves as the first line of defense against the unpredictable Texas weather. But how do you know when it’s time for a repair? Some signs to look out for include difficult operation, warped or cracked glass, broken door closers, faulty latches, and damaged weather stripping. A door that doesn’t close smoothly or latch properly could be letting in drafts and insects, defeating the purpose of having a storm door.

Signs Your Storm Door Needs a Full Replacement

Sometimes, a simple repair might not be enough to salvage your storm door. Here are some signs that you may need a full replacement:

  1. Old age: If your storm door is several years old and has been subject to regular wear and tear, it might be time for a replacement.
  2. Extensive damage: Major damages like large cracks or warps in the door frame, glass, or screen might require a full replacement.
  3. High energy bills: An inefficient storm door can let drafts in, making your HVAC system work harder and leading to higher energy bills.
