A storm window is a secondary window installed over or inside an existing window to add insulation and weather protection. It works alongside your existing window rather than replacing it, adding an extra pane and an extra pocket of air that helps block drafts. Unlike full replacement, it preserves your original window while cutting drafts, which makes it especially valuable for historic homes with original wood windows worth keeping.
Storm windows can be installed on the exterior for stronger weather protection or on the interior for a less visible option. The added layer also helps reduce moisture infiltration and outside noise, improving comfort throughout the year. It’s a smart fit for older homes and historic architectural features throughout Chicago’s established neighborhoods.
Storm windows protect original wood windows and trim instead of replacing them. That makes them a smart option for homeowners who want to preserve a home’s character.
An added layer of glass and air significantly cuts down on drafts. That can mean a noticeably more comfortable home during Chicago winters.
Storm windows shield your primary window from wind, moisture, and temperature swings. This extra protection can extend the life of your existing windows.
Get better comfort and efficiency without the cost of full window replacement. It’s a practical option for homeowners not ready for a complete upgrade.
Storm windows are commonly added throughout older homes, including basements, bedrooms, and living rooms, wherever extra insulation and weather protection are needed most. They’re especially valuable on historic architectural features, where preserving the original window and trim is a priority. Homeowners throughout Chicago’s established neighborhoods often install storm windows seasonally or permanently to guard against harsh winters and windy conditions. Because they work with nearly any existing window, storm windows can be added room by room or across an entire home.
We evaluate whether interior or exterior storm windows fit your home best, then install them for a snug, weatherproof seal. Our team considers your existing window’s condition, frame material, and any historic preservation needs before recommending an option. We use energy-efficient glazing and durable frames designed to withstand Chicago’s wind, snow, and temperature swings. Most projects are completed within a day, depending on window count.
