Bad weather and poor ventilation can damage exterior doors in your home. Installing a good quality storm door can help protect your main doors from the elements. Pickens Window Service in Cincinnati carries screens and glass panels as well as necessary window and door parts to help maintain your doors and your property.

Storm doors have many advantages. First, they protect the beauty and integrity of your exterior doors from harsh weather. Rain, snow, wind, and even excessive sunlight can shorten the life of your door. Paint layers can fade or chip when exposed to the elements. The wood of the door will also expand and contract in changing temperatures, causing cracks and issues with the locking mechanisms. A storm door will help regulate any fluctuations in temperature while protecting the door from rough weather and UV rays.

Storm doors offer many energy efficiency benefits as well by keeping the air inside your home. Your heat and air conditioning system will no longer have to work overtime, keeping your energy bills down. The glass on a good quality storm door should control the way heat moves in and out of your home.

Storm doors also add another layer of security to your property. Storm doors usually have locks, so any intruder would have to get through two locked entrances to gain access inside your home. Some storm doors can even be affixed with security bars and break-resistant glass, deterring any unwanted visitors.

Storm doors are also used as a design element to your home’s overall apparence. Storm doors come in a variety of styles with different details including color varieties and special ironwork designs. Pickens Window Service carries a large variety and combination of glass panels and door screens to fit your style.
