Common Questions

Storm windows are installed over existing windows, on either the interior or exterior. By adding an extra layer, storm windows:
1. Keep your home warmer in winter. Reflects heat back into your home and reduces heat transfer through the window, reducing energy costs.
2. Keep your home cooler in summer. Low-E glass absorbs less solar energy, helping keep interiors cooler and reducing energy costs for cooling.
3. Protect your home. UV fades fabric, carpets and interior furnishings.

Low-E windows have a thin coating that limits the amount of UV (ultraviolet) and infrared light that passes through. It helps keep winter heat inside your home and summer solar heat and UV rays out.
Solar transmittance measures the amount of visible light that passes through your windows. You want light to come through your windows (it's not a wall, after all!), while still limiting solar gain that can overheat your home in summer.
