It’s amazing to see how much front entry doors can enhance the entire appearance of a home. If you’ve looked at your home from the outside and thought about different residential home improvement projects to complete, consider starting with the front door. Sometimes you simply need a fresh coat of paint. But if your door is older and outdated, then replacing it could be worthwhile.

Enhancing Protection with Andersen Storm Doors
Homeowners often spend a lot of time deciding on front exterior doors but don’t think much about storm doors. The basic functions of a storm door are to allow extra light to enter the home, increase ventilation, create an extra barrier from insects, and more. Beaulieu Home Improvement offers a few different types of storm doors we believe provide great value to homeowners. One of those is Andersen storm doors.
Andersen storm doors are common and provide homeowners with a few different options. You can select a full-view storm door if you want the most possible light to enter your home. Or if that’s not important to you, then you can opt for the partial-view door for more of a classic look that has a solid panel on the lower portion of the door. Another great option Andersen offers is a retractable screen to prevent insects from entering your home. It’s a perfect choice for people who want a full-view door and the flexibility of having a retractable screen without needing to swap the glass and screen multiple times a year.
ProVia Storm Doors
ProVia storm doors are also popular options for homeowners. If you have a custom-size door opening or if you want a half-light or three-quarter-light style storm door, then our experts will likely recommend ProVia. Customization options are important for exterior doors because you want to balance functionality with aesthetics. ProVia has several product lines that include various options to suit the needs of a wide range of customers. Some of those options include designer glass choices, retractable screens, stainless steel screens, and more. No matter your lifestyle or choice in aesthetics, ProVia likely has an option to suit your needs.
Another thing homeowners can appreciate about ProVia doors is their half-light and three-quarter-light storm doors have a hollow core. Doors with a solid core could allow water or moisture to get inside, which causes it to expand. During the winter, this water could expand and significantly damage the door beyond repair. This is not an issue with the ProVia storm doors with a hollow core.
Larson Storm Doors
Larson storm doors also provide great options for homeowners whether you’re looking for a basic storm door or one with some specialty options. A popular feature for Larson storm doors is their Screen Away® option, which includes a built-in screen that can be pulled down when used or hidden when not in use. If security is a primary concern when shopping for a storm door, then Larson offers a steel mesh screen option and a laminated glass option to provide ultimate security without negatively impacting your view.
