Everything You Need to Know About Storm Windows

Storm windows provide an affordable, energy-efficient solution for homeowners looking to protect their homes from harsh weather and improve insulation. At Complete Exterior, we frequently receive questions about storm window installation, replacement, repairs, and their overall benefits. Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions to help you make an informed decision for your New Hampshire home.

FAQ'S

What are storm windows, and how do they work?

Storm windows are additional windows installed on the exterior or interior of existing windows. They provide an extra layer of insulation and protection against drafts, weather, and noise.

Do storm windows improve energy efficiency?

Yes! Storm windows create an insulating air pocket between the primary window and the storm window, reducing heat loss in winter and keeping cool air in during summer. This lowers energy bills and improves comfort.

Are storm windows a good alternative to full window replacement?

Absolutely! Storm windows are a cost-effective alternative to replacing entire windows, offering many of the same benefits like improved insulation and protection without the expense of full replacement.

What types of storm windows are available?

We offer:

  • Exterior Storm Windows : Mounted outside your primary windows for maximum weather resistance.
  • Interior Storm Windows : Installed on the inside of your home for easy access and a sleek look.
  • Custom Storm Windows: Designed to fit unique shapes and sizes for a perfect match.

How long do storm windows last?

With proper maintenance, storm windows can last 20-30 years or more, providing long-term value and protection for your home.

How do I know if my storm windows need to be replaced?

Signs include cracked or broken glass, drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty opening or closing, and warped or damaged frames.

Can storm windows reduce outside noise?

Yes! Storm windows act as a sound barrier, reducing noise from traffic, construction, or other outdoor disturbances for a quieter home.

How much does storm window installation cost?

Costs vary depending on the size, style, and number of windows. However, storm windows are significantly more affordable than full window replacements. We also offer flexible financing options to fit your budget.

How do I maintain and clean storm windows?

Storm windows require minimal maintenance. Simply clean the glass and frames with mild soap and water a few times a year and ensure the seals remain intact to prevent drafts.

Are financing options available for storm window projects?

Yes! Complete Exterior offers Wisetack financing for projects between $500 and $25,000, as well as connections to local banks for larger financing solutions like HELOCs.
