Storm windows are a secondary window installed over an existing window to add an additional layer of protection against the elements. They have been used for decades as a practical way to improve the thermal performance of older windows without the cost and disruption of full replacement, and in the right situation they remain a smart, cost-effective solution for homeowners who want better comfort and lower energy bills without committing to a complete window overhaul.

For homeowners in Tupelo with older homes, historic properties where preserving original windows is a priority, or simply a need for better protection against wind and rain, storm windows deserve a serious look. At Ensz & Sons Gutters, window installation is part of the broader range of home exterior services we provide, and we bring the same 30-plus years of experience to storm window work that we bring to everything else.

We had 2 shades put up to help block sun & wind. It turned out great! We got to pick our colors & they both are controlled with a remote. The guys did a great job hiding wires, etc. We could not ask for any better service. Thanks so much! We highly recommend!

Amazing experience from the company rep and quote provider to the personnel performing the work. Could not ask for a more professional and respectful group. The gutters look great and function as they should.

The process from getting a quote to installation was great from start to finish. Brayden and Michael did a fantastic job installing our gutters. We couldn’t believe how well they matched the house trim too. When they were done, they cleaned up all around the house. Excellent company!

Benefits of Storm Windows

Storm windows offer practical advantages that make them a legitimate solution for the right home and situation.

They add a second layer of glass over an existing window, creating an insulating air space that significantly reduces heat transfer and improves thermal performance without full replacement.
They reduce air infiltration around older windows that have lost their weatherstripping or developed gaps, directly affecting comfort and energy costs in Tupelo’s demanding cooling climate.
They provide an additional barrier against wind-driven rain, which matters in a region where storms push water against the exterior with considerable force.
They are considerably less expensive than full window replacement, making them practical for homeowners who want improved performance without replacing every window at once.
They are the preferred solution for historic homes where preserving original windows is important for architectural authenticity or historic designation requirements.
Interior storm windows are particularly effective at reducing noise transmission, a meaningful benefit for homes near busy roads or other consistent noise sources.

Storm Window Installation & Replacement

Storm window installation is less involved than full replacement but still requires careful attention to detail. The most important consideration is fit. A storm window that does not fit the existing frame opening precisely will allow air to move around the edges, undermining the thermal and weather protection benefits it is supposed to provide.

Exterior storm windows mount to the exterior casing using frame channels and fasteners. The perimeter seal between the storm window frame and existing casing has to be done correctly so wind-driven rain cannot find its way behind the frame and sit against the original window where it can cause deterioration.

Interior storm windows mount to the interior stops or frame and rely on a tight fit and quality edge seals to create the insulating air space that delivers their thermal benefit.

At Ensz & Sons, we measure carefully, make sure units fit existing frames correctly, and seal every installation properly so storm windows can do what they are intended to do.

Storm Window Repair

Storm windows develop issues over time, particularly in Tupelo’s climate where heat, humidity, and storm exposure put consistent wear on exterior components. Common repairs we handle include:

Replacing worn or compressed edge seals and weatherstripping that have lost their ability to create a tight fit between the storm window and existing casing.
Repairing or replacing frame channels or hardware that have corroded or bent and are causing the storm window to fit poorly or rattle.
Replacing cracked or broken glass where impact or thermal stress has compromised the pane.
Resealing the perimeter of exterior storm windows where caulking has dried out and wind-driven rain is getting behind the frame.
Repairing latch and lift hardware that has worn out and is no longer securing the storm window correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a storm window and a regular window?

A regular window is the primary window installed in the wall opening. A storm window is a secondary window installed over the existing primary window to add insulation and weather protection without replacing the original.

Are storm windows worth it for homes in Tupelo?

For older homes with original windows that are structurally sound but thermally underperforming, storm windows can meaningfully improve comfort and reduce energy costs at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.

Can storm windows be used on historic homes?

Yes, and they are often the preferred solution where preserving original windows is important for architectural authenticity or historic designation requirements.

Do storm windows help with noise reduction?

Interior storm windows are effective at reducing noise transmission. The air space between the storm window and original window absorbs sound energy, which can be meaningful for homes near busy roads or commercial areas.

What is the difference between exterior and interior storm windows?

Exterior storm windows mount outside the existing frame and provide direct protection against wind and rain. Interior storm windows mount inside and are particularly effective at reducing air infiltration and noise. Interior units are generally easier to remove seasonally and tend to create a tighter air seal.
