Storm Windows

We started this project to design and build a better wooden storm window a year ago and the windows are finally installed.  It was a huge effort to get all the assembling, painting, scraping and cleaning done for 30 windows.  The goal was to design a wooden storm that would enhance the architecture of the house, help preserve the old windows and meet all of the Energy Star requirements.  We researched the R values of each material to meet the standards set by the National Fenestration Society.  The glass panels are interchangeable with screens and they can be changed from inside the house.
