If you are thinking about installing storm windows on your home, you might want to consider aluminum storm windows. Aluminum is a more economical choice and still provides many of the same benefits of other, more expensive, storm windows.
Aluminum storm windows are extremely weather resistant. They never require painting and they will not warp or rot. Enjoy the added protection from wind and rain damage, equaling to less time cleaning, painting, and repairing damage after hurricane season.
Aluminum storm windows are also very resistant to moisture. These windows will significantly reduce, and can even eliminate, condensation on the interior of the existing window. It is not unusual in Florida to have high humidity levels, which can condense on your windows causing damage to walls, sills, and the windows themselves.
If you are also concerned about energy efficiency, new aluminum storm windows can help with that too. Aluminum storm windows reduce the amount of air that escapes and enters your home. During the hot summer months, when residents typically have the air conditioning cranked up high, this is a huge advantage. Additionally, glazing materials can help reflect heat back out during the summer, and keep heat in during the winter, saving energy in both cases. All in all, your new aluminum storm windows will typically pay for themselves through reduced energy costs in just a few short years.
The benefits of aluminum storm windows don’t stop there. If you live close to a highway or other busy area, you will enjoy the noise reduction that these windows provide. Certain glazing materials, the most popular being laminated glass, provide great sound reduction benefits due to the presence of a PVB inter layer between the two pieces of glass.
Aluminum storm windows provide increased security for your home from smash and grab burglars, which will help you have peace of mind. UV light remains a major reason for fading, whether it’s fabrics, paint, or other valuable materials. The UV reduction and sun protection you’ll receive from aluminum storm windows will provide you with comfort in your home during those scorching hot Florida summer months as well.
