Metallic Storm Window Screen Factory- Excellent protection against insects & long lasting performance

Window has been a product for cold climate regions with small producers providing custom unit sizes. Adding a storm window unit to an existing window provides several improvements. A storm window is a product of window screen factory that dramatically reduces air infiltration and increases the thermal performance of a single-pane window while reducing the impact of weather on the prime unit. Available options such as low-e glazing will further reduce energy consumption while available tilt-in sash allows for ease of maintenance. High performance storm windows are also ideal for noise reduction.

Aluminum is the material that provides high strength with a narrow profile. The poor conductive properties of aluminum can be mitigated by existing wood windows that serve as a thermal break. Storm windows are typically not ideal for installation on vinyl prime units as the elevated temperatures between the units escalate the expansion and contraction of the frames. Storm windows have a similar effect on windows joined with lead caming. Aluminum windows benefit from the addition of storm windows but the differential movement between the windows must be accommodated with material such as a double-sided adhesive cork tape.

Storm windows are installed either on the interior or exterior of the prime unit and are typically available as sliding units operating vertically or horizontally or as a fixed unit ideal for removal. Units are available in sizes large enough for sliding glass doors. Operable units available in double- and triple-track configurations allow air circulation and self storage of a screen. Fixed units are ideal for picture windows however they need seasonal maintenance when used in conjunction with operable prime units.

The performance of a storm unit is evaluated as a complete assembly. The design and material of the frame, its assembly, the installation, and the weatherstripping details all contribute to performance that can vary from model to model. Steel windows by window screen factory are excellent candidates for storm windows to compensate for their high level of conductive heat loss. A storm unit reduces transfer through the individual lites of a steel window sash. Storm windows are applied to existing steel sash frame with fasteners, magnetic trim or adhesive tape or can be affixed to material adjacent to the steel frame. Storm windows are usually available with screen units. The aluminum screening material provides strength but is subject to denting and corrosion. Aluminum will not dent but can stretch. 

A screen’s primary purpose is providing protection to insects although some new screening materials have been developed that improve energy performance. Various screens are now available that reject unwanted heat gain in warm climates but reduce ventilation and natural day-lighting. The energy savings of such screening can be significant and some utilities subsidize their cost in hot climates. These screens are effective on east and west elevations where the sun is at a low inclination, and passive solar control strategies such as awnings and overhangs are not generally effective
