Storm Door Varieties

Several varieties should be considered when you are looking at purchasing storm doors and they each have their distinct qualities and advantages.

  • Mid-view: A midview storm door is a door where the glass doesn’t go all the way to the bottom of the door.
  • Full-view: A full-view storm door is more common and allows you to have a full view out of your storm door.
  • Ventilating: A ventilating storm door is a door with both glass and screen in it. It is called a ventilating storm door because you can move the glass up or down to show the screen and ventilate the house.
  • Security: A security storm door is designed to keep intruders out. They are typically made of steel and many of them have metal bars in them.

Benefits of Storm Doors

  • Weather Protection

    Storm doors act as a barrier against harsh weather elements such as wind, rain, snow, and debris. They help shield the primary entry door from damage, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

  • Energy Efficiency

    By creating an additional layer of insulation, storm doors improve the energy efficiency of homes. They help prevent drafts and heat loss during colder months, reducing heating costs, and can also provide ventilation without compromising energy efficiency during warmer months.

  • Enhanced Security

    Many storm doors come with locking mechanisms that enhance security, providing an extra layer of protection against intruders. They add another obstacle for potential burglars attempting to gain entry into the home.

  • Ventilation

    Storm doors with screens allow for ventilation while keeping insects and pests out. During milder weather, homeowners can open the primary door and leave the storm door closed, allowing fresh air to circulate through the home.

  • Curb Appeal

    Storm doors come in various styles, colors, and finishes, allowing homeowners to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their home's exteriors. They can complement the architectural style of the home and improve its overall curb appeal.

  • Protection for Entry Door

    By acting as a barrier against the elements, storm doors help protect the primary entry door from damage, including warping, rotting, and fading. This can extend the lifespan of the entry door and reduce maintenance costs over time.

Typically, bay windows are installed as a three-panel frame with a picture window assorted in the middle. The two side panels are not stationary and allow you to open them if the airflow is your priority. At Standard Windows and Doors, we know what configurations and styles will best match the architectural design of your home. This is important since bay windows can come in a vast variety of designs. Contact us today to get started finding the best window for your needs!

Picture windows are stationary windows, which means they do not open or provide airflow. Think of a picture frame, hence where this unique style got its name. While they’re not the best option if you’re looking to contribute to the flow of fresh air in your home, they’re something to keep in mind if you’re looking to improve the amount of natural light in certain rooms. There is a variety of window styles that are best suited for your home. Give us a call today for more information.

Casement windows are a fantastic way to improve the curb appeal of your home. Like picture windows, they provide an unobstructed view of the outdoors and a tremendous amount of natural light to whatever room they’re in. However, they possess the incredibly useful ability to crank open to allow airflow into your home. For a crank window to accurately be called a casement window, the window must be hinged at the sides and open outward, almost like a door with a cranking mechanism. This allows airflow into your home and is ultimately easier to clean and maintain, mostly due to the fact that these windows don’t have sashes that you’d need to worry about. Awning windows are very similar in style but they are hinged at the top. Give us a call to learn more about these two window styles and their differences.

What classifies a window as double-hung is its unique ability to open both the bottom and top sash. The sashes, or the panes on your window that actively move when you open your windows, can also be tilted for ease of cleaning. You can move both sashes up and down as you wish, giving you various options to optimize air-flow efficiency.
