Storm windows and sashes in Castle Shannon: what still helps, what just rattles

A storm that no longer seats is a draft, not a decoration.

Castle Shannon houses often still have storms in front of older sashes. If the storm doesn't seat, or the clips are gone, you get a rattle and a draft. That's serviceable. The interior sash still needs to close, or the storm is doing all the work and failing.

A cracked storm pane is glass. A first-floor opening that's open to the street should be secured — board-up help — before anyone argues about original vs. replacement.

Locks and sash lifts on the interior unit are the comfort items you can schedule on a normal day. Crafton window and door repair is a nearby page with the same bias toward servicing the sash that's already there.

We will not claim storms 'pay for themselves' with a made-up number. We'll tell you if they still fit and close.
