Choosing the Right Storm Door: A Guide to Style, Security & Efficiency

A storm door is more than just an extra door, it’s a smart addition that offers both functional and aesthetic benefits for your home. Designed to protect your primary entry door from the elements, a storm door helps extend its lifespan while improving energy efficiency and enhancing security. It also offers the flexibility to enjoy natural light and fresh air without letting in pests or debris. 



Here’s what to consider when choosing a storm door for your home.

Benefits of Screen & Storm Doors


Added Protection: Storm doors provide an extra layer of insulation and security, protecting your primary door from the elements and adding enhanced protection with an additional locking mechanism.


Ventilation & Natural Light: Many storm doors come equipped with built-in screens, allowing you to enjoy refreshing airflow and natural light while keeping bugs and debris out. For added versatility and visibility, many models also feature glass panels in various sizes, ranging from full-view to half-view options, so you can choose the level of light, airflow, and visibility that best suits your home and lifestyle.


Energy Efficiency: Many storm doors include energy-efficient glass and durable weatherstripping, working together to minimize heat loss and reduce drafts. This added insulation helps regulate indoor temperatures year-round, helping to potentially lower your energy bills. ProVia’s storm doors are engineered with features like insulated glass units and high-performance seals to maximize energy efficiency, making them a smart investment for both comfort and cost savings.


Curb Appeal: With a wide range of models, glass configurations, and finishes available, storm and screen doors can be tailored to complement your home's style while adding functional value. Whether you're aiming for classic charm or modern appeal, the right storm door can elevate your home’s exterior.
