Storm Windows
You can make your home safer and more energy efficient by installing storm windows. You will also get the added benefit of protection from any kind of strong wind, tornado, or hurricane. When you look at the relatively low cost of these windows, there really is no reason not to have them.
They are extremely durable. They add an element of burglary prevention. They help you save energy costs. Eventually, your windows will pay for themselves. They insulate against outside noise. They are easy enough to install for most do-it-yourselfers.
---------------------------------------------
Inside vs. Outside You have a choice of interior or exterior storms. Most homeowners choose to place their storms on the outside of the primary windows because they want to preserve the look of the rooms on the interior. But the use of interior windows will save you money in the long run as their maintenance is lower. Also the interior windows are less exposed to harsh weather. I thought you should know that it can be done both ways.
Price The price is determined by material used, and whether or not the unit combines screens with the windows. Glass is more expensive than plastic; metal is more expensive than vinyl. The combination units are typically installed permanently. Another (cheaper) alternative is to install thin plastic sheets. Since these block fresh air from coming in during nicer weather, they are best used on the outside of fixed windows (which don't open anyway).
The other materials often used when making these windows are wood, aluminum, plexiglass or clear glass. While vinyl is cheaper than wood or aluminum, it can't be painted and the color selection is limited. Plexiglass is unbreakable and cheaper than glass, but will eventually scratch and fade. You will need to weigh all of these factors when choosing these windows.
