When it comes to enhancing home comfort and reducing energy bills, Energy Efficient Storm Windows are a smart investment. Kronenberger & Sons demonstrates that storm windows are an effective solution for both historic and modern homes, delivering insulation and energy savings without replacing original windows.
What Are Energy Efficient Storm Windows?
Energy Efficient Storm Windows are additional layers of glass or acrylic installed over your existing windows. They help trap heat during the winter, reduce drafts year-round, and improve sound insulation. Unlike full window replacements, storm windows maintain the aesthetic and character of your home while providing modern energy efficiency.
Benefits of Energy Efficient Storm Windows
- Enhanced Insulation: Adding a storm window creates a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer.
- Draft Reduction: Properly installed storm windows prevent cold air from seeping through gaps.
- Cost Savings: Reduced heating and cooling costs can offset the investment in a relatively short time.
- Protection for Original Windows: Storm windows shield existing windows from weathering and reduce maintenance needs.
- Sustainability: Retaining original windows while improving energy efficiency minimizes waste and environmental impact.
