The price was comparable to other bids. Our storm windows are a bit unusual: they are extremely heavy plastic wrapped around wooden frames, with foam along the edge of the frame to achieve a tight seal. They're intended to be set on the inside sill, but we have a couple that are mounted on the outside due to lack of clearance, and they have survived 2 winters with no visible harm. With respect to energy efficiency, we found that they are significantly better than the (admittedly cheap) glass storm windows installed by some previous owner. The windows are custom-made to fit your windowsills (a necessity in an old house, like ours, where none of the windows are a standard size). The big win, of course, is that they are a *lot* cheaper than glass storm windows. The company is called Six Industries. I believe both these companies are in the phone book, but if not I can look up the numbers for you. tom lane -------
