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.
Big City Windows and Doors provides a variety of porch enclosures designed for comfort improvements & enhancing curb appeal for homeowners. It ranges from glass single doors & transoms to options that include screens, double doors, panels, and more! Get in touch if you have questions about the exact measurements for a porch enclosure project.
When choosing the right porch enclosure, it's essential to understand the benefits it can bring to your home. Here's how our entrance enclosure systems excel:
Our porch enclosures are designed with durability in mind. Each panel is securely fastened together using specialized connector pieces. This ensures a sturdy wall structure that serves as a reliable base for mounting storm doors, providing a secure doorway.
Our porch enclosure systems are engineered with aesthetics in mind. Featuring slip channels, they adapt seamlessly to uneven or non-square walls and floors – this attention to detail results in a visually pleasing installation that enhances the overall curb appeal of your home.
One of the key benefits of our porch enclosures is their utilization of screens as a barrier against bothersome bugs, such as wasps and mosquitoes. With our tightly sealed installation, homeowners can enjoy the outdoor weather without the inconvenience of these pests
