storm window

Winter pane layer

A storm window is an additional window installed outside or inside a regular window for extra insulation against cold, wind, or rain.

Storm windows reduce drafts and heating costs in winter: We put up the storm windows every October.

They may be permanent fixtures or seasonal additions stored during warmer months.
