Home upgrades are sometimes done with increasing a home’s efficiency in mind. Little details about a home’s thermal efficiency can go a long way in cutting down on heating or cooling costs. Something as simple as installing a storm door is one of the ways to lower your energy bills. Plus, you’ll improve function and aesthetics too.
GreenFox Windows and Doors in Edmonton shares how installing a storm door can save you money:
Increases the thermal efficiency of your home
Installing a storm door on a home creates a physical space between the storm door and the front door. This space in-between the two doors works as an extra layer of insulation from the outside temperatures. This can help you see a reduction in heating costs during colder months since your home is better able to regulate temperature. The heat loss out a front door is cut down, which shows an increase in thermal efficiency. Storm doors can also come with a screen on the front, which can be useful for ventilation in the summer months. Use the storm door to create a breeze in your home to cut down on air conditioning costs, or the temperature of your home.
Helps to protect your front door
While sunshine can help put people in better moods, it can also be damaging. Prolonged exposure can fade and even crack the paint on a front door. Installing a storm door can help block the sunlight streaming against your front door and can help it last longer. During the winter months, the snow and wind that Edmonton experiences can also cause damage to the front door. Thanks to extreme weather, if a front door is left untreated, it can start to degrade. This can cause an eyesore, or require replacing sooner than later.
