    Has anyone had experience with very large interior storm windows.  I have an historic building with large (16'wide x 12' tall) openings infilled with metal windows that are beautiful but are a problem from an infiltration and heat loss perspective.  Can anyone recommend a good manufacturer or resource for a good quality interior storm solution?  Or another solution such as replacing the glass with insulating glazing?

    I have used interior storms but nothing that big.  Try Stan Waddell at West Window Corp. in Martinsville, VA.  They make a tab-less storm window system for retrofit situations.  www.westwindow.com
