Storm Doors
ABOUT STORM DOORS
Storm Doors are additional doors fitted to the outside of normal external doors. Their purpose is to protect the main door from bad weather, to improve heat insulation, and to prevent draughts. Storm Doors may be made of wood, aluminum, vinyl, or fiberglass. They typically have a tempered glass panel in the upper part of the door, and are provided with rubber seals around the edge of the door to ensure a tight fit.
The following leading storm door suppliers have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of storm doors, including online catalogs, specifications, colours and materials for storm doors, and care and maintenance of storm doors.
