Jalousy Doors

I am interested in putting in a Jalousy door on the side entrance of my house. I live in St. Clair Shores, Michigan and have shopped and searched all over the Metro Detroit area for Jalousy doors to no avail. I was either told that manufacturers don't make them anymore or that the dealers simply don't have any. I am stumped. Any info regarding where I can purchase a Jalousy door would be very appreciated! Thank You! George Hammond

 

We have a break down in communication here. Describe it to me.

 

Sorry about the lack of info on Monday. To start, the Jalousy door is a storm door commonly found in the warmer regions of this country. It has the frame of a storm door with a screen usually about 6 feet long and centered in the middle of the door. Then there are louvers (glass slats) on the outside of the door that with the help of a crank on the inside part of the door, can be opened to let in air from outside. I know many residences in Florida and Alabama where the Jalousy door is used. A few of the dealers I searched explained to me that the Jalousy door is mostly found in the southern states. Plus, alot of manufacturers I was told, do not carry them anymore. I think that maybe that style is just gone for good. But I would appreciate it if there was anyone who could point me in the direction to where I can purchase one in decent condition! Thanks.

 

Hi George,
Send me an email or post back if the name of a distributor who sells a conversion kit for any size opening in a door will be of use.

 

The storm doors used most commonly on the west coast are similar, but instead of the louvered glass, they have double hung glass panes.

 

Hi George...PGT in Florida carries aluminum jalousie outside doors (either with glass louvers or aluminum louvers)...there tele # ie 1-800-282-6019...Good luck..Tree
