Re: Storm Doors


Other than the Andersen 3000 or 4000 I don't care for any of them. Woodcore storm doors regardless of the brand generate a bunch of repeat business after 3-5 years if they are exposed to the weather.

Re: Storm Doors


Was Alsco Anaconda, then Sugarcreek and now Provia. Deluxe series is same door frame for the 35 years I've been around. They have a bunch of colors. Great company to work with, old fashion quality and reliability. The have a high end door and an economy door too, we mainly use the Deluxe.

Re: Storm Doors


Andersen 3000 or better are probably the best I've dealt with. One of the better products you can get at HD.

Re: Storm Doors


I should have mentioned that I am already a Provia dealer just wanted to see what you guys threw out there... Great stuff 14 colors... Not the best hardware but the Low-E is a great add-on... I sell alot of the 300 Deluxe series. Looking for a less expensive door as a drop down product...

Thanks for the info on the Andersen door however we deal with Marvin direct and I thought most of those were permacore doors?

Re: Storm Doors


My first choice for a full glass door would be the Andersen 3000 or 4000. Second would be the Pella.
If you want a door you can open the window in I would use the Larson Tradewinds. They have redesigned this door with cheaper steel zbars and crappy closers, but the roll up screen mechanism has always been trouble free for me.

Same here Jake, do you find that the aluminum on the doors always have a nice big gouge in the aluminum on them somewhere? I do like them cause I can put in a harvey prehung in 15 mins

Re: Storm Doors


We havn't had any problems with the doors. It take longer to drive to the job then installing the doors.
