I am enjoying our screen away storm door


When it was spring, it had finally warmed up enough that my family was saying it was too warm inside the house. It was too soon to turn on the air conditioner; the temps outside were cooling off in the evening.

When it was the start of autumn, the opposite occurred. The house was too cool in the evening, but comfort returned as long as it was sunny during the day.

All of that changed when we had a screen away storm door installed. Within in few moments, we could make an environmentally friendly adjustment. We could open or close the screen part of the screen away storm door. Ah, welcome warmth of cool air, whatever the case may be to improved the comfort of our home naturally.

The old storm door required unscrewing the screen or window, and installing the opposite at the change of the seasons. Although it helped overall, it wasn't conducive to taking advantage of the change of temperature during the day or evening.

With our new storm door, that became a thing of the past. No mass changing out the window or screens, just flip the support switch and lower the screen portion, or raise the screen portion to the top position, and flip the support switch in the other direction. Ah, such ease.

We had our first screen away storm door installed in the kitchen. We loved it so much, that we had a second one installed in our living room the following year.

What a welcome relief. I got to open the kitchen and the living room screens on the storm door. Ah yes, the cross breeze blew through and it was pleasantly cooling the rooms off.

The screen away storm door is one of the best purchases that I've made. Larson is the company that made ours.

They come in different styles. You can get one with a privacy portion on the bottom.



They also come in the full view option. Our cats prefer the full view option.



In either version, the screen is retractable. The screen is stored around a roller that is located in the top, enclosed part of the door. The screen is unrolled as you lower the handle that lowers or raises the screen manually.
