A storm door is one of the most straightforward improvements a Windsor homeowner can make. Installed in front of your primary entry door, it protects your door from weather exposure, adds a layer of insulation at the entry, and gives you a screened ventilation option during Windsor’s spring and fall shoulder seasons.
Advanced Home Services has been installing windows and doors in Windsor-Essex since 1988. We carry and install aluminum storm doors for homeowners who want to protect their entry, extend the life of their primary door, and add year-round comfort and usability.
A single large glass panel that occupies most of the door face — maximizing light transmission and allowing your primary door’s colour and design to show through. Includes a built-in retractable screen for ventilation when you want it, without the seasonal hassle of swapping panels.
Glass in the upper portion, solid kick panel below. The solid lower section handles the daily impact of high-traffic entries — better suited to households with children or pets where the bottom of the door takes regular contact. Available with a retractable screen in the upper glass section.
Entry doors in Windsor face direct UV, rain, humidity, freeze-thaw cycling, and wind-driven debris. A storm door creates a buffer that takes the worst of that exposure off your primary door — particularly valuable if you've recently invested in a new fibreglass or steel entry door.
The air gap between your primary door and storm door provides additional insulation at the entry during Windsor's cold months. Storm doors also act as a secondary seal against air infiltration — reducing drafting around an aging primary door's weatherstripping during winter.
A storm door adds a secondary locking point between your interior and the exterior. It's not a substitute for a quality deadbolt on your primary door, but it adds a meaningful additional deterrent and delay at the entry.
Windsor's springs and falls are ideal for natural ventilation. Storm doors let you open your primary door and pull fresh air through the screen panel without leaving your entry fully exposed — practical for households where leaving the front door open isn't an option.
It depends on the condition of your primary door. If your primary door is newer with intact weatherstripping, the incremental energy savings from adding a storm door are modest. If your primary door is older with air infiltration around the frame, the storm door provides a meaningful additional barrier. For most Windsor homeowners, the bigger benefits are protection of the primary door and the added ventilation option — the energy benefit is real but secondary.
Aluminum storm door frames are available in a range of standard colours — white, almond, sandstone, brown, bronze, and black are common options. We match the frame colour to your entry door hardware, trim colour, or primary door frame as part of the selection process.
A full-view door has a single large glass panel covering most of the door face — it maximizes light and lets your primary door show through. A mid-view door has a glass panel in the upper portion and a solid kick panel below, which is more durable in high-traffic entries where the lower portion of the door takes regular contact. The right choice depends on your household and how much daily impact the entry sees.
A standard storm door installation typically takes two to three hours. The entry is temporarily inaccessible during installation, but the work is usually complete within a half-day visit. We assess the existing door casing condition during the in-home measurement — if the casing needs attention before the storm door can be properly mounted, we identify that upfront.
Storm doors are available in 32″, 34″, and 36″ widths to match standard door opening sizes. Older Windsor homes — particularly those built before the 1970s — sometimes have non-standard door heights. We confirm the exact size needed during the in-home measurement before any product is ordered.
A screen door is a lighter, less substantial unit designed only for ventilation — typically a simple frame with a screen panel and no glass provision. Storm doors are heavier, more complete units that include glass panels with an integrated or retractable screen, providing weather protection, additional insulation, and ventilation. In practice, a storm door does everything a screen door does and more.
Yes. We install storm doors at any exterior entry opening — front, back, side, and garage entry. The same product range and installation process applies regardless of which entry the door goes on. We serve Windsor, LaSalle, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, Kingsville, Lakeshore, Leamington, Essex, Comber, Stoney Point, Saint Joachim, and South Woodslee.
