Wanted new storm door that blocks UV

[q1m7ot001]

I would like to purchase a new full view storm door that will block some of the sun light and help keep my front door cooler. I am looking for brand recommendations I live in MN.

Thanks

Look around LowE coatings reduce UV you may even find a rating included and that UV reduction is normal in better doors

I think you need to look for Low-E glass. This usually accompanies Energy Star certification when it comes to windows.

Brand does not matter, it is the glass. Have the glass replaced at a good shop with some sort of coated glass.

There are SHG solar-heat-gain ratings for windows, perhaps this would be the rating of most value to you. Contact companies and research what they offer and recomend.

It is Infrared that you want to block not UV. Almost all glass does a good job of blocking UV but the real heat comes with the infrared. If you can't find any that specifically note low-e or or infrared just pick one that appears somewhat dark.

i don't think you can have a Low-E lite on a single glazed installation, the coating is primarily made for insulated units. you can however get the glass in a bronze tint or a grey tint or buy the clear and have a professional install scratch resistant film similar to what is used in autos. this is done quite frequently in many homes and businesses and is very effictive and *if* the lite in the door is ever broken, it will help reduce the mess(by acting as a huge bandaid) the tempered glass will make when it falls out.
