Now that autumn has arrived, we can expect a slight drop in temperature and humidity. So the right time to get our door ready to let in the fresh air and keep out pests. When it comes to choosing and installing a new screen door, regardless of location, there are a few tips need-to-know that will help you through the process.
Screen Door or Storm Door?
Although the term, "screen" and "storm" are used interchangeably to describe the traditional screen door, there are subtle differences you should be aware of to make better decisions. A storm door is built more robust and rugged to protect your front door from bad weather such as high winds, rain, sleet, and snow.

Type of Screen Door
The third most common type of screen doors to choose from including traditional, drawn, and the sliding door screens. They come in a variety of styles, textures, sizes, and colors. The traditional model can directly go to the outer door jam and open outwards.
Retractable models are popular choices for the front door as they cooperate with the pull-down blind. They are stored in a spring casing mounted on the top side of the door frame. It allows you to pull it down when you want to let in the fresh air and then wind it up when you are finished.
Setting a Budget
Once you decide what kind you want, set yourself a budget. This will help you filter out and reduce your choice, make the selection process easier. It also makes it easier to stick to a price limit and do not get persuaded to buy something you do not really need.
