FAQs

How Do I Measure Storm Windows for Historic Wood Frames?+

Measure the exterior opening, not the glass. For older wood frames, take width and height in three places, use the smallest reading, and note out-of-square trim before ordering.

Are Storm Windows Better Than Double Pane Replacement Windows?+

Storm windows are often better when original windows are sound and worth preserving. Replacement can make sense when the existing sash or frame is rotted, failing, or no longer operable.

How Much Noise Do Storm Windows Block in Db?+

Noise reduction varies by glass, air gap, existing window condition, and installation quality. A tight exterior storm window can noticeably soften traffic, wind, and neighborhood sound.

Can I Install Storm Windows Myself?+

Yes, most storm windows can be installed in under an hour per window without professional help.

What's the Difference Between Two-Track and Triple-Track?+
