You wouldn’t know it, but most of these storm windows are not original to the home. This Southwest Minneapolis homeowner was tired of looking at painted aluminum storm windows that just didn’t quite do justice to their vintage home. In fact, the beautiful fixed (picture window) was obstructed by two windows mulled together with the mullion running down the center of the viewing area. What SP did was to create a new two lite storm window which was custom made to the opening. We flanked the fixed window with the upper transom, with two double hung operable combination windows. The beauty of SP’s Wood Surround Combination storm windows is you will never have to swap out storms and screen again.
This homeowner, who did the project through the Metropolitan Airports Commission Sound Insulation Program will be extremely happy as the wood storm window offer fantastic noise abatement, rating well above the minimum STC requirement for products in the Sound Program.
