Hot Door

[Mike Lamb]

I have read installation instructions where south facing doors should not have glass storm doors installed because of extreme heat. A black door does not help. This is a good illustration for that advice.

The outside temp. today was 50F.

Yes. It's really nasty when they're metal doors. One touch and you're burned.

Fiberglass doors are fun. The hot side expands while the cool interior doesn't and bends the door off the weatherstripping.

And the sealant around the glass melts.

Add a storm-door and bingo.... melting window-frames and decor..

I remember back when homes had shady front porches.

Yeah, when you had to come home when the streetlights came on. . .
