Exterior storm windows that protect older windows, cut drafts and noise and preserve original sashes.
A storm window is a second window mounted outside or inside your main window. It adds a layer of glass and a pocket of still air, which cuts drafts, noise and heat flow, and it protects the original sash from weather. Storm windows are a smart choice for historic homes and for good old wood windows that you want to keep. Homeowners in Nashville add them to extend the life of original windows and to improve comfort without replacing everything.
We look at the windows you have and the style of your home. We recommend exterior storm windows in aluminum or similar frames with low-E glass if useful, in colors that match your trim. We measure carefully, install the units with weep holes for drainage and make sure they open for ventilation and screen access. We also explain how they work with your existing sashes, and why combination units with a screen are a popular choice.
A second layer of glass slows heat flow, reduces drafts and cuts noise, and it shields old wood windows from rain and sun.
Storm windows need small drain holes at the bottom to let moisture out, which keeps the main window dry.
Many storms include a screen, so you can swap glass for screen and ventilate in nice weather.
Frames come in colors that match your trim, and slim profiles keep the look of the original windows.
