  Chilly Screens of Winter

  We live in a 115 year old house in Denver, CO.  I can testify that rehabbing the original wood windows and adding good quality storm windows are great ways to reduce heat loss through the windows.  We are gradually rehabbing the existing windows (replacing cracked panes, new caulk, weatherstripping, ensuring tight fit) and are getting new storms (wood frames with exchangeble screen/glass panels) made.  The temperature (and noise) control in the rooms that have rehabbed windows is very noticably improved compared to those rooms yet to be done.  Plus, the look is wonderful -- very compatible with the historic appearance of our house.  I can't speak to price comparisons -- we never considered replacing the windows due to their historic nature.On Umbra on inefficient windows posted 2 years, 12 months ago 4 Responses
