Lowe's Home Improvement Storm Doors Buying Guide
Everything you need to know before choosing the perfect storm door for your home.
Why You Need a Storm Door
Storm doors are an essential addition to any home, offering a range of benefits that go beyond mere protection. They act as a barrier against harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, heavy rain, snow, and even hailstones. This extra layer of defense helps to extend the lifespan of your main entry door by shielding it from direct exposure to the elements.
In addition to protection, storm doors significantly improve energy efficiency. By creating an airtight seal, they reduce drafts and heat loss, which can lead to lower energy bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, properly installed storm doors can reduce energy loss through doors by up to 30%.
Storm doors also enhance home security. Many models come with reinforced frames and high-quality locks, providing an additional layer of protection against intruders. Furthermore, they allow natural light to enter your home while keeping insects out, making them a practical and stylish choice for any entryway.
Types of Storm Doors
At Lowe's, we offer a variety of storm doors to suit different needs and preferences. Understanding the different types available will help you make an informed decision.
Aluminum Storm Doors
Aluminum storm doors are lightweight, durable, and resistant to rust and corrosion. They are available in a variety of colors and styles, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. Aluminum doors are also relatively affordable, making them a budget-friendly option.
Steel Storm Doors
Steel storm doors are known for their strength and security. They are heavier than aluminum doors and provide excellent protection against forced entry. Steel doors can be painted to match your home's exterior, but they require regular maintenance to prevent rusting.
Fiberglass Storm Doors
Fiberglass storm doors are a premium option that combines durability with aesthetics. They are resistant to dents, scratches, and warping, and they can mimic the look of wood without the maintenance. Fiberglass doors are also energy-efficient and come with a variety of glass options.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Storm Door
Selecting the right storm door for your home involves considering several factors to ensure you get the best fit for your needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Door Material
As discussed earlier, the material of the storm door affects its durability, maintenance requirements, and cost. Choose a material that aligns with your needs and budget.
Glass Options
Storm doors come with various glass options, including clear, frosted, tinted, and decorative. Consider your privacy needs, energy efficiency goals, and aesthetic preferences when choosing glass.
Screen Type
If you want the option to let in fresh air, consider a storm door with a screen. Retractable screens are a popular choice as they can be hidden when not in use, allowing you to enjoy the view through the glass.
Hardware and Locks
Choose high-quality hardware and locks for your storm door to ensure smooth operation and enhanced security. Look for features like deadbolts, reinforced frames, and weather-resistant finishes.
Size and Fit
Proper measurement and installation are crucial for the performance of your storm door. Ensure you accurately measure your entryway and choose a door that fits properly. Lowe's offers professional installation services to ensure a perfect fit.
Energy Efficiency
Look for storm doors with energy-efficient features such as insulated frames, low-E glass, and weatherstripping. These features can help reduce your energy costs and make your home more comfortable.
How to Measure for a Storm Door
Accurate measurements are essential when selecting a storm door. Follow these steps to ensure you get the right size:
Measure the Width: Measure the width of the door opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement to ensure a proper fit.
Measure the Height: Measure the height of the door opening on the left, middle, and right sides. Use the smallest measurement.
Determine the Swing Direction: Stand inside your home facing the door. If the hinges are on the left, the door is a left-hand swing. If the hinges are on the right, it's a right-hand swing.
Check for Clearance: Ensure there is enough clearance for the storm door to open and close properly. Measure the distance from the door opening to any obstacles such as doorknobs, locks, or sidelights.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Proper installation and maintenance are key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your storm door.
Installation
While some homeowners choose to install storm doors themselves, professional installation is recommended to ensure a proper fit and optimal performance. Lowe's offers professional installation services by experienced technicians who can ensure your storm door is installed correctly.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning will keep your storm door looking its best. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the frame and glass. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. For screens, use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
Maintenance
Inspect your storm door regularly for signs of wear and tear, such as loose hinges, damaged weatherstripping, or cracked glass. Lubricate moving parts, such as hinges and locks, with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Replace any worn or damaged parts promptly.
