It's too darn hot!

So, yesterday we decided to move our outdoor thermometer to the front door to see just how hot it gets and if that might be what's causing the bubble problem on the front door. Mind you, this was a reading of the door's temperature when only 1/4th of it was in the sun, the rest was being protected by a shade. It only got up to 112 on the shaded part.

  1. Wow - I think we might actually live close to one another. We also have that problem, but with our back door. I'm in Texas as well.

  3. Maybe you should put up an awning?

  4. Maybe a light colored door wouldn't bubble?

  5. Oh! I'm SO sorry to hear about the bubbling already!!! David said, "Dark absorbs the heat. Light, very light is the only route if you do not have an awning. Repaint in the fall when it is cooler, and less intensity of the heat and sun causing it to bubble while it is fresh." This happened to us up in Illinois (and you know it didn't get as hot!)

  7. A storm door with a retractable screen and reflective glass would be really great. It is a bit of an expense but so very worth it.
