So you don’t have storm windows and last winter was a bit tough on the heating bill and you are wondering if you should get storm windows. Before you run off to the local home depot or other building supply warehouse store there are some things to consider.

First of all, will your current windows support having storm windows installed? What will installing storm windows do for the look of your home? Are you concerned about the resale value of your home? These are all very important questions to ask yourself before you consider purchasing add on storm windows.

In years long past storm windows were the only option that existed to keep out the ravages of harsh weather, that’s not the case any longer. Moreover, new technology has brought home windows into a new era of weather tightness that has eliminated the need for such things as storm windows.

Can you still get add on storm windows, yes you can, but in all honesty , I can’t think of any reason why you would want to even go there.

The first point would be the cost. Custom manufactured storm windows are quite expensive.
New replacement windows are only slightly more money to purchase and have installed.
Putting storm windows on your existing windows is a tedious process that will not enhance the value of your home.
Storm windows are only minimally effective and are cumbersome to operate
IF you don’t have good solid wood around your current windows, then installing Storm Windows may be a challenge to say the least

With the advancements that window technology has taken in the past few years, I cannot think of any good reason for installing Storm windows but can think of all kinds of reasons that you should consider installing new replacement windows

Price
Added value to your existing home
Better functionality then storm windows, in fit , effectiveness and ease of operation

Over all replacement windows are a much better option and value then add on storm windows. Take the time to investigate replacement windows, and you will see just how much of a value they will be to you and your home.
