Wood Storm Windowswith Insulated GlassMake your historical home more

energy-efficient with insulated wood

storm windows.

Save Money and Quick PaybackStorm windows are more cost-effective

than traditional replacement windows.

They cost considerably less, are easy

to install, and can provide comparable

energy efficiency to total window

replacement. Storm windows also

protect your primary sash.

In a 2007 study done by NAHB

Research Center, Low-E storm windows

showed a marked improvement over

clear glass with benefits amounting to

an average of 21% heat load reduction

and an average payback of 4.5 years.

How Does Low-E Work?Ordinary clear glass allows heat to pass through it. Since heat always flows towards cold, in winter, inside heat flows to the outdoors and in summer, heat from the outside flows through the glass to the cooler interior.

Low-E glass is better than ordinary glass for keeping heat out in the summer and inside in the winter.

Improve Energy Efficiency• Cost effective alternative to total

window replacement• Warmer in winter• Cooler in summer; reduces solar

heat gain• Storm windows seal out drafts• Significantly reduce air infiltration• Creates a dead air space that helps

block energy transfer

Easy to Measure1. To determine storm sash width, measure dimension “A.”

2. To determine storm sash opening height, measure dimension “B.”

3. To determine storm sash sill angel (bevel) subtract short dimension “C” from dimension “B.”
