What Are Storm Doors?


A storm door is an outer door used to protect against outside weather and also to minimize heating and cooling energy loss from inside the home. The storm door is installed on the exterior side of the home’s entry door. It provides an extra layer of insulation between the entry door and the outdoors.

Storm doors are available with either fixed or self-storing glass panels. The fixed glass type has a removable panel of glass that can be replaced with a screen. The self-storing type has a glass panel that slides up or down to regulate airflow into the home.


Soft-Lite’s StormWeld Door Features

For strength and beauty no other storm doors come close to StormWeld Doors. They are loaded with features many other manufacturers overlook.

  • Energy Savings: Soft Lite’s StormWeld storm doors have a tight fitting seal and heavy-duty weatherstripping around the glass panels that add to your energy savings. Our weather-stripping is specially designed to prevent binding, twisting or tearing.

  • Corner Joints: StormWeld corners are robotically welded and cleaned to a smooth finish, and are the strongest spots on the whole door. This also keeps the storm door in good shape and makes it last longer.

  • Hardware: Good quality hardware lasts longer and indicates a high quality door. StormWeld storm doors come complete with durable, lockable handles, plus cosmetic choices for customized looks.

  • Finished Surface: StormWeld doors are finished with a melted powder-coating which cools to a finish that is three times heavier, harder, more durable, more fade resistant, and more environmentally friendly than conventional systems. This finish will keep your storm door looking better longer than any other finish.

Whether you prefer a traditional, contemporary, elegant or informal look, there’s a StormWeld style and color that’s just right for you. Years of testing and product refinement have gone into the development of Soft-Lite’s StormWeld storm doors to make it the industry leader in storm door design.
