Window and door showroom

I’m looking for a couple window and door showrooms, to get my hands on some products. I’ve searched the forum, but…

Can anyone recommend worthwhile places to see a variety of brands?

Thanks and happy weekend.

Have you come across any brand or service which could fulfill your window and door installation requirements. Grabbing the best brand is quite challenging for normal folks. I often go through review sites to check for best services. There are many designs and styles to choose from, so don’t be in a haste while you pick one. Remember the installers should be certified, professional and fully insured. Take a look at a blog by landmark home solutions on how to choose the best windows and doors for your homes http://www.landmarkquality.com/blog/home-windows/a-guide-to-purchasing-home-windows

I’m a distributer and have a showroom with about a dozen or so brands on display.
Regarding a storm door.
Not a fan unless ordering a custom storm door to match the main door.

A typical storm door is a never ending maintance issue on top of being annoying.

A common misconception with storm doors is that it protects the main door.
Wrong! Wood doors are natural and need to breathe putting a storm door allows the sun in trapping in the heat and moisture which wrecks havoc on wood doors.

Here are some of the reasons people use storm doors:

1. They want to simply protect their main door from elements such as rain, snow, tornadoes and hurricanes. ( I personally don’t like that idea because you’re covering in most cases a good looking door)

2. Others like to install the storm doors to get fresh air inside the home by utilizing the screens that come with the door. Let’s not forget about the natural sunlight you get.

3. Added energy efficiency to home. A storm door can help out tremendously it’s an extra barrier for your entry door. Usually doors that are covered by a storm door are made of wood which have no insulation and almost zero weatherstripping.

4. People think storm doors give added security which I believe is false it’s fairly easy to break through the glass or screens.

These days you can find plenty of durable options which don’t need that added storm door because of all the insulation and weather stripping installed on and in the door.

Hope I helped out a little!

Back door. Maybe w storm door, maybe not. And two windows. We need to get educated and learn pros and cons of 1 priority door v entry door w storm door, etc.

What type of doors are you looking for? Type of material?

It is hard to find a showroom that carries all brands, they each seem to carry about three lines. We were looking mainly at the Marvin and Andersen windows and doors. We went to Brooklyn Window and Door , Bay Ridge Window and Door (not in Bay Ridge but near the Brooklyn Army Terminal) and SE Building Materials.
