Storm windows vs replacement

Storm windows cost 1/3 of replacement windows ($500–$1,200 each) and install in minutes over your existing glass. They add a thermal layer, cut noise and protect the original window. Replacement windows look better but cost 3×. Storms are the budget path to efficiency.
