Storm Windows: Comfort, Efficiency & Preservation

      Storm windows have protected homes for over a century, adding comfort, energy savings, and historic charm. Whether you have a 19th-century farmhouse or a mid-century ranch, storm windows are a smart upgrade that won’t replace your original windows but will help them perform better.

Why Storm Windows?

• Weather Protection – Shields primary windows from rain, snow, and wind, extending their life.
• Energy Savings – The air gap insulates, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
• Noise Reduction – Quiets outdoor sounds for a more peaceful home.
• Historic Preservation – Improves performance without changing the look of original windows.

Types & Materials

• Exterior – Permanent or seasonal; often wood or aluminum.
• Interior – Nearly invisible, easy to install, great for historic homes.
• Materials – Glass or acrylic panels; wood, aluminum or composite frames; weatherstripping for tight seals.

Historic Value

Before the advent of modern insulated glass, storm windows were a crucial component. Homeowners swapped storms for screens seasonally, preserving original windows while staying warm. Today, they still offer cost-effective comfort and authenticity.
