What is a storm window?

Storm windows are a practical and effective way to protect the integrity of your home. Not only can it be a Secret Way To Improve Your Homes Value, but it can also protect your primary window from the elements of the world. Not to mention, they also improve energy efficiency, privacy and comfort of the home. Wood Window Rescue offers its own version of a storm window called the EverStorm.

Now, for those who love an RIY approach to projects, you may want to tackle the installation yourself. There are some things you should know before starting though. Below, you will find a video and instructions from Morgan on how to install a standard EverStorm.

You'll need Wood Storm and Screen Sash Hangers to install the storm window during this process. The sash hangers will connect the casing and storm together. You may also need Wood Storm and Screen Turn Buttons if the window being covered by the storm will not be operable.

Depending on your preference, you can complete the work in a couple different ways;

  1. Build storm frame, dry fit and adjust the storm, prime/paint/glass/glaze, then installation (preferred)
