Storm and Screen Windows
from:Windows are one of the most architecturally and pleasing aspects of a home’s interior and exterior. Bay windows, arched windows, French doors, side lights, and skylights are just a few of the different types of windows available.

There are many types of storm windows and they range from low, medium, and mid-priced options. Many of them come with coatings that over UV protection as well. They are made of glass, plastic, and some new environmentally engineered windows. Glass is the most popular since it doesn’t intrude on the space or block any light. Some people do opt for plastic since it doesn’t break as easily and it has a long life. It’s a matter of personal preference.
