    this is in response to a request for information concerning large scale interior storm windows.

    i do not have any personal experience with the following company, but saw examples at the Traditional Building Conference in Chicago in November, and am considering them for an historic project that i am working on currently.  large sizes didnt seem to be a problem, but i do not know how large.

    We applaud your consideration of interior storms for historic windows, which can result in dramatic improvements in performance and energy efficiency.  Allied is a fine and dedicated source that we have known for many years.  You may also wish to contact local or regional mill shops for options that relate to the specific characteristics of the buildings historic window systems (e.g., wood species & finish, hardware, molding profiles, connections to frame).  Virtually all storm windows may be refined with a wide selection of infiltration barriers and glass types, from blown restoration glass to low-e coatings.  We highly recommend the use of laminated glass as well.

    Something I learned on a recent project is that some high performance glasses, such as PPG Solarban 70xl can't be used for storm windows due to the fragility of the coating, but can be laminated and retain the performance. ------------------------------------------- James Smith AIA HagerSmith Design, PA Raleigh NC -------------------------------------------
