[MassHistPres] Storm windows

[Susan Ceccacci]

Modern Manufacturing in Worcester also used to make their own storm windows, which were of excellent quality.  They, too, now sell only ProVia storm windows.  I was told that they looked at different manufacturers before deciding which brand to offer and found ProVia to be of good quality.  The high-end model of ProVia storm windows is Town & Country.  I don't know whether there is a way to specify the mid-rail location.  
Modern Manufacturing decided no longer to manufacture their own storm windows because they were unable to provide the wide variety of colors offered by other manufacturers and requested by buyers.

I can regretfully confirm that.

In the midst of the transition, my contractor still bought storm windows 
from Harvey, not realizing there would be a huge difference. We got 
ProVia Concord windows. They are of reasonable quality, but not anywhere 
near Tru-Channel. The way the mid-rail location is specified may differ 
between the two brands, watch for that. I don't see them on the Harvey 
web site anymore.

I would also be interested in recommendations.
