Your windows, along with your roofing and siding, are important parts of your home’s energy efficiency. Today, you’ll find many general contractors that can do multiple types of jobs like being a replacement window contractor, siding installer and a roof installation contractor. Investing in efficiency is one of the biggest trends in housing this year, and one way to do it is with a particular type of windows that works incredibly well with the rest of your home— storm windows.


Here are some important facts about storm windows from our skilled and experienced remodelers at D-Wing Construction.

What Is a Storm Window?

Despite the name, storm windows have nothing to do with storms. These are actual windows layered over an already existing window, increasing its thermal insulation and keeping the heat and the chill where it’s supposed to be. This type of window is also generally more cost-effective than regular replacement windows as they’re more of an add-on. This is why many homeowners choose to install them alongside other renovation projects like re-roofing and siding installations.

Low-E Glass

The sun is an almost infinite supply of light and heat and it’s important to take this into consideration when planning on energy-efficient upgrades. By themselves, storm windows can already have noticeable effects on your energy bills but pairing them with low-E coated glazing will increase their performance significantly.
