Common Storm Door Service Questions

You do not have to purchase a storm door if you have a fiberglass door. Fiberglass doors offer numerous advantages, including durability and the ability to stand up to harsh conditions such as low or high temperatures. Fiberglass doors also have excellent insulation properties, so you don’t have to add on a storm door if you’re looking for better temperature regulation inside your home.

Storm door handle replacement is a simple DIY job you can complete in as little as 10 minutes. But if you prefer to leave it to a pro, you can always do so. Also, it’s best to hire a pro if you're replacing a mortise handle. Mortise handles have a more complicated structure and can be challenging for someone new to home improvement.

Storm door panels are typically made from tempered or laminated glass, and each type has its benefits. Tempered glass goes through a special heating and cooling process, increasing its strength and durability. It’s known for its safety features—when it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than sharp shards. Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of plastic between two layers of glass. This interlayer holds the glass pieces together even when shattered, preventing them from scattering. 

Storm doors aren’t necessarily outdated. In fact, there are many benefits to installing a storm door, including improving your home’s energy efficiency, keeping pests out of your house, and protecting your home against the elements. However, storm doors aren’t great if you live in an area with high humidity because the door can trap heat and potentially damage your front door.

Yes, you can replace a damaged panel on your storm door yourself, but it requires precision and attention to detail. If you're unsure about any step or if the damage is extensive, it might be best to consult a professional door company to ensure the replacement is done correctly. Proper installation guarantees the safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of your storm door.
