Looking for security screen doors for homes? Here we’ll discuss a few tips on how to make the right choice. We’ll also provide you some ideas and options so you can get started.
Purpose of security screen doors
Aside from keeping the bugs out, these doors provide additional protection against criminals and weather elements. It’s especially the case if the doors are made with steel frames. There are other frame materials (e.g. aluminium and metal alloys) which can offer enough durability and protection.
How long does a security screen door last?
Expect 8 to 10 years of useful lifespan for screen doors made with steel frames. The frames won’t rust or show any huge sign of deformity. These doors (whether installed at the front or back of your house) may also be recoated or repaired if need be.
The screen doors will also be a stable part of your home. The latest designs blend nicely with homes’ modern designs. They won’t be distracting and they even become a natural part of houses.
Sliding or hinged security door?
Back then you only have one boring option regarding security doors. Now you can even choose between sliding or hinged. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses.
For example, sliding doors often demand larger spaces because of their design. Although they’re more aesthetically pleasing, the availability of space poses a challenge. In contrast, hinged security doors offer more flexibility. They can be installed on almost any home and room.
Both types of doors are usually made from strong aluminium or steel frames. Many choose aluminium because it’s lightweight (although the frame should be a bit thicker for improved strength). Aluminium-framed doors are more expensive but they don’t rust even after years of use (better value for your money).
