Retractable screen storm doors feature a screen that is rolled up into the frame of the storm door when not in use.
Ventilating storm doors generally include a full or half screen that is always in position on the storm door.
Wooden screen doors less than one inch thick are used primarily as screen doors with no glass installed. Using wood thicker than one inch allows the storm door frame to accommodate glass panels. The door also becomes more rigid and durable as the thickness increases.
