Storm window

Storm windows are windows which are mounted outside or inside of the main glass windows of a house.

Most commonly, they are found in cold climates to serve as a retrofit on existing windows in order to improve their thermal efficiencies. Similarly, storm doors (also called "screen doors") allow similar winter savings with older inefficient doors - and allow a screen for summer ventilation.

Storm windows can be mounted externally or internally; can be made of glass, rigid plastic panels, or flexible plastic sheets; and may be permanently or temporarily mounted. They function similarly to insulated glazing.
