We are thinking of replacing our front door. Based on Florida heat, humidity, and hurricanes. Any suggestions on wood, metal, or fiberglass?

We want a glass insert and storm door.

Thanks in advance.

We used Perry's ( Spanish Springs) they put in a new insert and side glass at fraction of the cost and so many options.

Just a couple thoughts to consider. Is the door exposed to sunlight? Have you spent at least a full year in the Villages? Have you investigated the composition of the existing door? Why do you want a storm door?

A storm door as I see it is a door that allows either glass or a screen depending upon season. It would not be for hurricane protection. If primarily for the screen, there are rollaway screens that might be a better option. And that depends upon your tolerance of to pollen either for allergy or cleanliness.

My existing front door is extremely heavy. Obviously not wood or fiberglass. There must be a reason. I am guessing that it may be due to warping issues from heat and or humidity.

Be careful if you face the sun you might not like your wishes when the glass magnifies the sun rise or sunset in your hallway. We had this up north and thankfully the glass was a small peek a boo frosted glass. While not a deal breaker our current setup is the small side glass which semi failed or actually leaked during Milton. Towels took care of it but glass is just another entry point. I would check out Romac who did some of the home construction.
