History of storm windows and screens

History

Exterior storm windows have been around since the 18th century and became common at the end of the 19th century.

To the right is a page from The Mulliner Catalog of 1893. Here wood storm windows are available to match the window sash design. Click to enlarge.

2-1/4 inch stiles are standard but 3 inch stiles are available.  Stiles are the vertical boards on each side of the storm window.

Storm sashes were 1-1/8 inch during the time.
