Front Door No Storm Door

But there s no inset on the outside of the door frame meaning there s nowhere wide enough to attach the storm door.

Front door no storm door.

My husband and in laws believe since there is a storm door on the door they don t need to close the main door allowing easy access for small people to escape and although they haven t this mommy will go into a tail spin when they don t close the door. The 1 is a fallacious argument for not taking action. I love the option of a storm door being open during the day. Warmer climates don t need storm doors to protect the door from winter weather but the screen would allow air to circulate during nice weather.

If your door is exposed to the elements a screen door may be the right option. We have storm doors on all of our doors and we also live in an area where they just aren t practical hot and humid and freezing cold. The interior door is mounted to an inset 36 wide. Additionally if your front entry is well protected by a large overhang or covered porch you might not need a storm door.

The problem is the lack of inset on the outside of the door frame. The only thing that makes sense is to create an inset somehow. You may opt out of a storm door if you have a new well sealed energy efficient front door. But my last decision is about a storm door.

I stripped and scraped and re stained my front door and i am pleased with the result. If you have a newer energy efficient well sealed front door and your main concern is reducing energy loss you may not need a storm door.
