storm windows
Cold weather protection
Storm windows are secondary window panels installed outside or inside existing windows for extra insulation against cold, wind, and noise.
They create an air pocket that reduces heat loss in winter: We put up the storm windows every November.
Homes in harsh climates often have matching storm doors.
