[MassHistPres] windows... (great storm)

[jade]

www.newenglandstorm.com
www.spencerworks.com

the above companies manufacture wood storm windows that hang from the exterior with 'old fashioned' hanging hardware...two glass panels and one screen...no need to remove and store as the seasons change......

harvey tru-channel storm windows are a good (as compared to superior) storm window.  they are more affordable than allied or monray storms...i have not personally installed them but have restored windows on a number of municipal buildings where these storms are installed...they operate well, are sturdy and can be purchased in custom colors...harvey industries does not sell to the general public...one must submit a business card or federal ID number to purchase direct...

  I have been installing these windows on my house. I think they look fantastic, a lot better than triple-track because they don't project out of the frame (since there is no track).

  The drawback is that in order to put in screens, you have to take out the glass pane and swap it with a screen pane. That might be inconvenient for a lot of people, and I bet that when I'm in my 70's I'm going to be cursing my decision!
