A storm window is an additional window over the existing window that provides protection from high winds, severe weather and winter cold. And they are quite effective in providing protection from the extreme wind that a tornado nearby can create but do little in protection of a tornado right on top of you. The old school thought of opening windows is out generally and the new school thought is get to safety in a basement.
Storm Windows was created in 1980.
Addin storm windows or any other type of "secondary glazing" will be cheaper then replacing your old single paynes and upgrading to new dual payne, but you dont get the same insalating factor from storm windows. so unless your just putting storm windows up so you have some thing to break in the event of a storm and not your primary (witch is what they were designed for) yo should spring for the extra money and get the effect of dual payne windows. BTW ive been in the glass biz for 11 yrs
