Preserve Historic Aesthetics Without Sacrificing Thermal Efficiency

Replacing original wood windows can destroy the architectural integrity and historic value of your home, yet uninsulated single-pane glass causes crippling heating bills. Our custom storm windows create a protective dead-air insulating pocket that boosts overall thermal performance to near modern double-pane levels at a fraction of the cost of full structural replacement.

  • Durable baked-on enamel finishes color-matched to your home’s existing exterior trim

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about storm windows in Boise, ID.

Condensation builds up between window panes when warm, moist indoor air leaks past the primary sash and hits the colder storm window glass. In Boise homes, Prairie Ember Windows prevents this by weatherstripping the interior window to stop vapor passage and installing controlled weep holes in the storm frame so accumulated humidity can escape.
Storm windows equipped with Low-E glass coatings can perform nearly as well as standard double-pane replacements by creating an insulating dead-air space over your existing window. This provides Boise homeowners with significant energy savings while protecting original historic millwork at a fraction of replacement costs.
Yes, our storm window frames feature durable baked-on enamel finishes available in standard and custom colors to match historic trim profiles. We ensure the exterior aluminum frames blend seamlessly into your existing facade without standing out.
In most Boise historic districts, adding exterior storm windows is permitted without extensive design review provided the storm frames match the proportions and sightlines of the primary sash. We guide homeowners through local preservation guidelines to ensure full compliance.

Protecting Historic Millwork from Weather Damage and Sun Exposure

Single-pane wood windows exposed to Boise's intense UV radiation and driving winter precipitation quickly suffer from flaking glazing putty, wood rot, and structural frame settling. When interior moisture condenses against ice-cold single-pane glass, it runs down and rots the historic interior wood sills. Installing a precisely vented, tightly sealed storm window insulates the primary glass, stops cold-surface condensation, and shields antique millwork from exterior weathering.
