Storm Windows: Extra Protection for Comfort, Efficiency, and Peace of Mind
Looking to improve the performance of your existing windows without a full replacement? Storm windows offer a practical solution that adds insulation, reduces noise, and protects your primary windows from harsh weather– all while maintaining the character of your home.
Whether you live in a vintage home or a more modern build, it can be custom-fit to your existing openings. They’re especially valuable for older properties where preserving original windows is essential, but comfort and efficiency still matter.
Why Homeowners Choose Storm Windows
Energy Efficiency Without the Expense of Full Replacement
Energy efficient windows create an insulating air pocket between your current windows and the outside, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This added layer reduces drafts and can make your HVAC system more efficient.
Noise Reduction That Makes a Difference
Live near traffic, schools, or city activity? These act as noise reduction windows by buffering sound from outside, giving you a noticeably quieter home.

Types of Storm Windows
Aluminum Framed Window Solution
Lightweight and durable storm windows made out of aluminum are economical. These attach directly to the window frame or casing and are offered with either standard or energy-efficient low-e glass panels. Many models feature a corrosion-resistant enamel coating and a multitude of color options to suit any exterior.
Fixed Aluminum Storm Windows
These provide a clean, low-profile look that complements existing structures—ideal for maintaining curb appeal while increasing performance.
Wood Framed Window Solution
Stitched together from rich woods like mahogany, pine, or Spanish cedar, wood-framed storm windows best suit historic homes or homes with a more traditional aesthetic. These bespoke units are usually made with mortise-and-tenon joinery and can be primed or painted to coordinate with your current trim.
Fixed Wood Storm Windows
These units are securely mounted within the window frame, usually with hanger clips or turn buttons. Some can tilt open from the bottom in an awning-style for ventilation, and some even include hardware that helps hold them propped open when desired.
Tailored Options with Low-E Glass
You can also tailor both aluminum and wood options with low-e glass to ensure highly efficient performance with modern functionality that doesn't compromise on style and heritage.
