The days of poorly insulated and drafty entry doors are quickly coming to an end with the rising popularity of the insulated steel door. Steel door manufacturers maintain that a storm door is not necessary to keep your home comfortable, and even go so far as to void their warranty if one is installed.
Unfortunately, during the warmer months, homeowners still crave the features that a storm door brings by allowing airflow into the house and a view of the outdoors without allowing insects or other pests entry into their home.
Entrance enclosures are the perfect solution to this problem – they provide all the benefits of a storm door and much more, all without voiding the steel door warranty!
Many homes have been built with a roof or second floor sheltering the main entrance. These porch areas typically have one or more openings with either a square or curved top. Entrance enclosures are custom-fabricated glass panels and doors made from 1 3/4" aluminum rail designed to fit into these openings.
Even if your home does not have an alcove, you can still have an enclosure! We can provide flat and curved glass roofs if there is no overhang.
