Older and historic commercial properties can pose special challenges in terms of exterior renovation and preservation. And one of the most problematic areas can be the windows. Often windows in historic and older office buildings and other commercial products are an integral design feature, despite their lack of energy efficiency and high maintenance requirements. If you own such a property and you’d prefer to retain the original windows rather than replace them, perhaps today’s modern low-profile storm windows might be the right solution for you.
If the term “storm windows” brings to mind the old unwieldy wooden-frame models that had to be hooked on in the fall and unhooked and put away for storage in the spring, the good news is that today’s modern storm windows are anything but cumbersome and time-consuming. There are several lines of custom, low-profile storm windows that can be retrofitted to your property to protect your windows while being barely visible. You can retain the design elements of your existing historic windows while increasing the energy efficiency and eliminating drafts. And since you’re protecting your windows’ exterior faces from the elements, you’ll be substantially reducing your maintenance expenses in the meantime.
Window Outfitters proudly recommends and installs Mon-Ray acoustical storm windows. These high-tech modern storms (also called ‘secondary glazing windows”) have the added benefit of reducing noise intrusion, which is especially beneficial if your building is located in a high-traffic area. Thousands of schools and universities, hospitals, government entities, and other public and private commercial property owners in the United States have chosen Mon-Ray storm windows. They’ve been specifically designed to be an attractive addition to a building, as well as having been engineered to provide superior performance in keeping out wind, moisture, and noise.
