Storm windows are an extra window that cover the inner window. They provide extra protection and some thermal insulation during cold weather and come in two basic styles.
An "add-on storm" is suspended from hooks and held closed with a gate hook and eye. They are exchanged for screens in warmer months. A "combination storm" is screwed into the exterior trim. The sashes and screen slide in tracks and can be raised and lowered to fit the season.
