Low-emissivity storm windows are those that are certified by Energy Star that have glass that include a very thin and completely invisible coating. This coating helps in reducing the heat loss that is experienced through the glass of a window when outdoor temperatures plummet.

In turn, this helps in optimizing savings on heating during the winter months. Additionally, these specially-designed windows help keep the home comfortable during the summer months and have a high level of insulation.

These windows blend naturally with all existing architecture and are mounted permanently. You may purchase operable models or fixed models.

If you are in search of replacement windows that offer numerous benefits, you will be pleased with low-emissivity storm windows. The following outlines the main benefits – according to homeowners:

• The installation of these windows provides almost the same – in terms of energy savings – as having a full window replacement on the home; however, at about one-third of the total cost. 
• The windows are fully operable – but you can opt for fixed options. 
• When installed on the home, low-emissivity storm windows provide a boost to the appearance of both the exterior and interior of the home.
