A house built in 1870 for a local mill on Bainbridge Island Washington. The homeowner had great sensitivity to the history of this house. Here is what he had to say about his storm windows:
"Hi Nolle,
Here's the report, now that I've had a weekend of living with the windows and we've had some cold weather -- 29 here this morning! The house is definitely tighter. I can tell the storm windows make a big difference. For several nights I've had to remove the top blanket because I've been too warm, even though I am leaving the thermostat at the same cold 60 at night. And when I have the wood stove going the temperature in the front rooms doesn't reflect a ton of heat loss; there used to be more variation in temperature because, I guess, of heat loss through all the old single pane windows.
Thanks for your attention to detail in putting together a handsome, tight-fitting product."
Fitting the frame prior to glass and paint |
The final product on two of the nine windows. Having the storm windows mounted on the exterior not only insulates but protects the original window |
The seal existed on the edge of the storm window frame thus requiring every frame to be scribed to an imperfect opening |
Good post! thanks for sharing.
