What are storm windows?

Storm windows are windows installed inside or outside the main windows. They are commonly used in applications with single glass windows. By using multi-glazed windows, the need of using storm windows is eliminated.

This type of window can be made of glass or different types of plastics.
Storm Windows can help reduce air movement, thus improving soundproofing and thermal insulation. Using them in old buildings can reduce the amount of used energy for heating up to 30%. They are cost-effective at the same time because adding additional storm windows is much cheaper than changing the single-glazed windows to double-glazed ones when the difference in costs of used energy is not so big.

Summing up, storm windows are commonly installed to improve thermal insulation and soundproofing. Aside from these factors, they are also used to protect expensive windows during bad weather conditions, such as hail or strong wind. Their construction often allows the user to mount them periodically when it’s required.
