Consideration to Look for Before Selecting a Magnetic Screen Door

February 21, 2022 by Annie

Doors are one of the most integral parts of our homes. No matter how your house looks like, its look is never complete without the perfect doors. Remember, doors are the verge between your home and the outside world. Nevertheless, such doors create visitors’ first and last impression when they come to your home. Therefore, you would want to ensure that your doors create a positive personal statement, one that speaks genuinely of your lifestyle, home, and your family.

In addition, you would want to select a door that is secure enough to keep intruders off your home. Below is a list of some of the most vital features you should be keen on when selecting a door for your home.

Material

Today, the most common materials that make doors are fiberglass, wood, and steel. First, for a fiberglass door, a possible substitute can be a magnetic screen door. Fiberglass doors are cheap to maintain and are energy efficient because they are adaptable to humid and extremely harsh weather conditions. Additionally, fiberglass doors allow you to experience the outdoors, and sun rays penetrate your house because they are transparent. Wooden doors are the second material option. These doors are pretty conventional and remain one of the most popular door types. However, it would help to protect your wooden doors because they are vulnerable to moisture and weathering effects. The third choice is steel doors. Steel doors are generally more durable and stronger than wooden and fiberglass doors. Therefore, they are the perfect choice if the security of your home is a primary concern.

Security

Different statistics indicate that most residential burglaries are still conducted through the doors. To protect your home from such unwanted break-ins, make sure to select a door that meets the standard security baseline. Therefore, buy a door that is solid with no hollows, whose frame is strong enough. Additionally, make sure that such a door has multi-point locks with a deadbolt that is not less than one inch long. For the fiberglass doors, ensure that the glass is glazed and can resist bullets or sledgehammers in case of a forceful break-in attempt. Exterior doors with a security camera or infrared sensors are an added advantage.

Energy Efficiency

The energy efficiency of the door is one of the most vital considerations to look into before selecting one. Therefore, make sure to select an exterior door with high thermal resistance ability and a good insulator with the ability to lock in warmth and keep the cold out. Additionally, ensure that the door integrates perfectly with its frame to block air leaks that contribute heavily to heat loss from your house, especially at night. Such doors keep your home warm during winter and cool during summer and therefore help you save on energy bills. Steel and fiberglass door are particularly helpful and energy-efficient.

Selecting the best door for your house can prove to be a challenging task. However, with the above tips, the job is simplified. When making such a choice, make sure to consider a magnetic screen door for a better experience.
