Storm Door Installation: Why It’s a Must Before Wisconsin Winter Hits

Prepare Your Home with Storm Door Installation Before Winter Hits

If you’ve experienced a Wisconsin winter, you know how unpredictable and unforgiving the weather can be. Between freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and bone-chilling winds, your home’s entryway needs serious protection. One of the smartest upgrades you can make this fall? Storm door installation. 

At Renewal by Andersen, we recommend storm doors for energy savings, durability, and added home protection. Here’s why installing a storm door before winter is a smart move. 

  1. Enhance Insulation and Reduce Drafts 

Storm door installation creates a thermal buffer between your main door and the harsh outside air. This extra layer reduces drafts and keeps warm air in, which is crucial during frigid Wisconsin winters. 

Pro Tip: If your main door is older or less energy-efficient, a storm door can drastically improve your entryway’s performance.

  1. Improve Energy Efficiency and Cut Heating Costs 

Heating bills spike in the winter, especially if your home is drafty. A properly installed storm door can minimize heat loss and improve your home’s energy efficiency. That means your furnace works less, and you can save more on utilities. 

  1. Protect Your Front Door from Snow, Ice & Salt

Road salt, blowing snow, and icy buildup don’t just make your sidewalk slick; they can damage your home’s exterior. Storm door installation acts as a shield, helping preserve your entry door’s finish and structure by keeping out moisture and debris. This is especially important if your front door features decorative glass or wood susceptible to damage.

  1. Increase Home Security 

Many modern storm doors include features like multi-point locking systems and shatter-resistant glass, giving your home an added layer of security. When you install a storm door, you’re not only preparing for winter, you’re enforcing your home’s defenses year-round. 

  1. Bring in Natural Light While Staying Sealed Off from the Cold

Do you tend to feel cooped up during long Wisconsin winters? Many of our storm door styles feature full-view glass panels that let in beautiful sunlight, even on the coldest days. You’ll get more natural light without sacrificing warmth or comfort. 

  1. Boost Your Curb Appeal and Home Value 

A well-installed storm door can give your entryway a polished, inviting look and increase your home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate energy-efficient upgrades and protective features that save them time and money. 

Don’t Wait Until the First Snowfall

Storm door installation is most effective before winter sets in. By acting early, you ensure your home is sealed, protected, and ready to take on everything that comes with a Wisconsin winter. 

At Renewal by Andersen, our experienced team can help you choose the right storm door style and handle the installation with precision and care.
