Victorian Storm and Screen Doors

29 October 2006

Shopping for a new screen door, or perhaps a storm door? You should consider the era and style of your house when making your decision. If you’ve got an older house and you want to remain true to the time period, you don’t want to put some shiny new aluminum screen door or storm door onto the front of the house. There’s something about sun-reflecting, rust-gathering, burn-you-if-you-touch-it-when-it’s-hot metal that doesn’t feel quite authentic on an older home. That’s why I like these storm and screen doors from Cumberland Woodcraft. Though they’re made from modern materials, they look like they’re made from wood and then painted white, as they would have been in the Victorian era. Yet of course they match all of today’s building standards.
