STORM WINDOWS
Preserve original windows and increase the overall protection and value of your property with the flexibility of storm windows.
What are storm windows?
Storm windows are known to primarily be used for advanced protection against the harsh weather elements of Oklahoma like rain, hail, and in more severe instances, tornadoes. Aside from acting as an extra layer of protection, storm windows also help to regulate indoor temperature by reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Upgrading your windows to be storm-ready presents an economic opportunity to prevent energy loss and reduce outside noise. Storm windows are ideal for numerous types of buildings including apartments, condominiums, commercial buildings, and of course, houses. Installing storm windows also presents as the perfect solution for historic renovation projects that aim to preserve the original structure and styling of the windows.
Storm windows are an extra set of windows that can be installed in front of or behind preexisting windows. These types of windows provide additional insulation around preexisting structures, as well as advanced protection, and preservation flexibility. The installation of storm windows on any building or home creates a second barrier that ultimately reduces drafts, blocks excessive sound, and improves overall energy efficiency. Storm windows from Old Home Rescue in OKC can be custom made to fit a wide range of project types. We offer various glazing options, tinting services, available tempered glass, and optional solar screens.
Benefits Of Storm Windows
Storm windows are generally made of aluminum that’s enamel-coated to further resist corrosion. For Oklahoma residents, we typically recommend that they come equipped with screens and sliding glass panels so that the window is still fully functioning.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Storm window installations enhance energy efficiency because they’re essentially an insulating air pocket. Having this extra layer of insulation reduces both conductive and convective heat transfer and minimizes air infiltration. They also help reduce radiative heat loss when equipped with a low-emissivity (Low-E) coating. This leads to lower heating and cooling costs and improved overall comfort
PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC WINDOWS
The preservation of historic windows that’s available with storm windows is especially valuable to homeowners who aim to keep the original windows. The storm windows that go over the pre-existing historic windows help to protect the original designs.
COST Effectiveness
According to the US Department of Energy, storm windows are one of the most cost-effective solutions for upgrading energy inefficient, pre-existing windows. The extra insulation and protection provided by storm windows can help to keep cool air in and hot air out. Not to mention they also cost a fraction of non-storm window replacements.
noise reduction
Storm windows help dampen noise from traffic, barking dogs, leaf blowers, noisy neighbors, and more annoying noises. Some types of storm windows can reduce noise transmission by up to 95%. This is because storm windows have better sealing, which also reduces drafts and cold spots even more than non-storm windows.

storm Windows FAQs
Can storm window installation be a DIY project?
While technically any home improvement project can be DIY, it doesn’t guarantee that a DIY storm window installation project will be successful. To properly install storm windows so that they reach their full potential of benefits, it’s crucial to have the appropriate expertise as to not waste time, money, and labor. Installing storm windows can be challenging for a DIYer, especially on upper floors, where the work often requires two people or more on extension ladders.
How much do storm windows typically cost?
Storm windows with aluminum frames, the most common type, can cost anywhere from $300 to $500 for a single window with installation. Wood-framed storm windows are a specialty item which can be customized. Prices for custom wood storm windows start at $200 and can go up to around $400. When weighing all your options, it’s important to note that the price of a storm window is about 25 to 50 percent less than that of a non-storm window replacement.
When’s the best time to install storm windows?
You can install storm windows at any time; however, we recommend installing them sooner rather than later. For Oklahomans, storm windows are most useful in extreme seasons, when you’re cranking up the heating or air conditioning. With storm windows in place during months known to have harsher weather, you can ensure that your property isn’t leaking out any heat or air. If your windows haven’t been replaced in 15 years or more, if strong winds cause your windows to rattle noticeably, or if you can hear whistling during high winds around your door, then it’s time to get storm windows installed.
Do storm windows HAVE to go over pre-existing windows?
No, storm windows do not have to be installed over existing windows. While they’re typically installed on the exterior or interior of pre-existing windows, storm windows can be designed as custom-fit inserts that replace or become part of the original window frame. Custom storm windows can also be designed to blend in with the existing surrounding structure.
How long do storm windows last?
Enamel-coated aluminum frames should last at least 30 to 40 years, and wood frames that are sealed or painted will last just as long as they’re maintained. The glass should last for the full lifetime of the frame. Storm windows can last for a significant amount of time, typically ranging from 20 to 30 years or more with proper maintenance. Factors like the materials used, the quality of installation, and exposure to the elements will all play a role in the lifespan of storm windows. Regular cleaning, inspection, and resealing can help extend the life of your storm windows.
