With the weather extremes we get here in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, having energy-efficient windows is crucial to keeping those utility bills down and homes comfortable. But often we recommend another layer of protection, storm windows.
One of the biggest mistakes purchasers of older homes make is to tear out and replace the existing wood windows. Most likely those windows contain single pane glass, and they don’t do much to keep the winter cold and summer heat out. Wood frames may no longer fit in their openings, so you’re likely to get drafts as well.
So don’t tear out those windows till you talk to one of our team members. You can’t match the quality of the lumber used to construct them with wood available today. We install heavy-gauge aluminum storm windows from Mon-Ray that are engineered and designed specifically for this purpose. And storm windows are far more cost-effective than replacing the windows themselves.
We also recommend them for homeowners who choose genuine wood windows, since storms provide protection for the wood on the exterior as well as increasing energy efficiency.
If the words ‘storm windows’ bring to mind cumbersome windows that have to be taken off each spring and put on again in the fall, you’re in for a delightful surprise. From being custom-manufactured to snugly fit each of your windows to having options available to customize them for your home, the storm windows we install can deliver lower heating and cooling bills, more comfort in your home year round, and even less UV light infiltration.
We are proud to offer our customers aluminum storm windows from Mon-Ray. These windows were chosen as part of the Metropolitan Airport Commission’s 2017 Noise Mitigation Program. That should tell you something about how effective they are! You’ll find Mon-Ray storms on thousands of commercial buildings like hospitals and schools. But they are also very popular for historic homes. Their slim lines allow the beauty of the original windows to show through while protecting those windows from weather damage and increasing energy efficiency.
We recently added aluminum storm window lines to our available products, in part because MonRay is an industry leader in energy efficient window and exterior door products. Winners of the EnergyStar Partner of the Year Award year after year, MonRay has a reputation for innovative, quality windows. We believe that for many homeowners, MonRay storm windows offer the very best solution in terms of energy efficiency, comfort, and cost.
