Patios are enjoyable for any property, and while their doors are practical, they can also be enhanced. According to the glass and screen repair experts at Hudson Glass & Mirror in Northfield, OH, incorporating screens to patio doors will add substantial value to your home. Here, they discuss a few advantages screens provide to patio doors. 

5 Benefits of Screens

1. Energy-Saving Airflow

Screens are an excellent way to get fresh air into your home. Depending on the season, the outdoor air will either cool or warm your home, which means you can use less HVAC energy to keep your house comfortable. 

2. Easy Replacement

Replacing screen wire in existing screen frames is the easiest way to upgrade the look of your windows.  The frames are generally easy to remove and bring in to be repaired.  You could upgrade the screen by replacing the standard fiberglass screen wire with Solar Screen or Paw Proof Screen.  Broken and missing hardware can also be replaced on your screen frames.

3. Keeps Pests Away

Leaving your patio doors open is an excellent way to let in extra light and air, but it can also invite unwanted insects into your home. However, a screen door will prevent pests from coming indoors—without hindering your airflow. 

4. Extra Home Security

Though your front and back doors have locks to protect your loved ones and property, the patio door could use a screen as an added layer of security. While they aren’t as durable as your patio glass door, a screen repair professional can ensure they give you an extra layer of protection from burglars or trespassers.

5. Keeps Glass Door Protected

Unfortunately, glass patio doors and windows can appear as open spaces to birds and cause them to hit the glass and leave cracks or other damage mistakenly. By adding a screen, your door will be more noticeable, so birds are less likely to fly directly into the transparent glass.
