Purchasing a storm door is an architectural requirement to combat the climate of Kansas. Apart from weather resistance, its utility encompasses energy efficiency, security, and curb appeal too. Considering its varied roles, it’s not wise to judge which products are good or bad based exclusively on aesthetics.
As the authority in door installation in the region, All States Home Improvement explains that things you must look to find the perfect storm door:
Construction
A good storm door stands up to the perennial cycle of the bitter cold and intense heat. It shouldn’t sustain damage easily, absorbing the worst beatings from hailstorms and other forces of nature over a long period.
Much of its toughness stems from its robust construction. Most products have a solid wood substrate wrapped in a resilient covering. At All States Home Improvement, our storm doors have an advanced vinyl surface to stay intact despite the elements. Compared with aluminum, vinyl doesn’t rust, chip, peel, and fade and hardly shows scratches. Plus, it’s also an excellent insulator. It helps trap heat and prevent the outside world from affecting your indoor climate.
Operation
All great storm doors open and close smoothly with little effort needed. To ensure easy operation for a long period, don’t skimp on hardware. Irrespective of your budget, investing in high-quality hardware goes a long way.
We always invite our customers to visit our showrooms to see our doors in action. At our local showrooms, you can learn the functional nuances of our products, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Maintenance
Many homeowners don’t realize the importance of low maintenance until they have to face the taxing chore of periodic repainting. Paint-reliant products are subject to faster wear and tear, and therefore failure.
Vinyl is almost maintenance-free. Other than the painless, occasional wiping, our storm doors are naturally resistant to moisture to protect their core.
Style
Aesthetics may be a secondary consideration, but it should nonetheless be part of the conversation when choosing your storm door. Since it would cover your real, front door, it’s the one that would contribute to curb appeal. Whether you want to complement other exterior details and make it pop, we offer a broad range of rich colors.
Fit
All doors must fit the apertures they’re covering. Otherwise, gaps pave the way for air and water leaks. Unlike inexperienced contractors, our company knows what it takes to make sure your storm door is as weathertight as possible.
