If you are thinking to install a storm door with low-e glass in an exposed, south-facing front entry to help keep out the cold during our harsh winters, call us for more information. Some door installers have the opinion that by installing a storm door will make the existing wood entry door to be ruined by heat build-up.
The warnings from the installers are right on the money: A south-facing storm door, with or without low-e glass, will trap a great deal of heat, particularly in the summer, and that’s not good for your wood door or its finish. And it’s not good for you when the door hardware gets too hot to touch. Never add a glass storm door if the exterior door gets more than a few hours of sun each day.
That sounds pretty definitive, but you can get around those problems if you ventilate the space. For existing storm doors, we can drill holes in a row into the top and bottom rails to help the heat escape. For you, the answer might be a storm door with a glass panel that can be lowered to let heat escape on sunny days, and raised at night or on cloudy days to keep heat in. We can also help install the glass panel in a storm door. For south-facing houses, we recommend doors that can be ventilated so that heat can escape.
Regardless of the placement of your house, we can come and give you recommendations on how to proceed with a storm door. Call Locksmith Waterloo for more information or a free assessment of your property. Call us 24/7!
