The 1 is a fallacious argument for not taking action.
Front door no storm door.
But my last decision is about a storm door.
You may opt out of a storm door if you have a new well sealed energy efficient front door.
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.
I love the protection it gives.
If your door is exposed to the elements a screen door may be the right option.
I love the option of a storm door being open during the day.
My south facing storm door in san pedro ca a has low e uv film to protect my beautiful 1917 craftsman oak door from low angle winter sun.
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.
I stripped and scraped and re stained my front door and i am pleased with the result.
The interior door is mounted to an inset 36 wide.
B switches glass to screen in summer when porch prevents direct light and allows the breezes in.
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 only thing that makes sense is to create an inset somehow.
But there s no inset on the outside of the door frame meaning there s nowhere wide enough to attach the storm door.
Additionally if your front entry is well protected by a large overhang or covered porch you might not need a storm door.
