I agree, Richard, I think that these windows could definitely be seen as a worthwhile investment.

I think that with the cost of heating and energy in this modern age, that these could well become the norm in households around the world. They may be expensive to install, but in the long run could save you a lot of money.

That is a good question about the condensation, but I think “no” I haven’t heard anything about condensation and usually it is the contrast between the cold outside and the warm inside. If you aren’t having problems with condensation with your double panes, you shouldn’t have problems with interior storms. Think about when you use shrink fit on your windows. It doesn’t cause condensation so an interior storm shouldn’t either. Google inside storm windows. You can make them or spend more money and and buy professional windows.

I do believe these will become standard for both hot and cold climates. With household becoming more aware and building standards reaching a minimum requirement we, the consumer will demand greater insulation.

Robert, would there be a condensation problem with the indoor storm windows? Also would it matter if the DOE brings about competitive pricing of the R-5? Someone told me of a house who had a Styrofoam fill the windows at night via a vacuum. In the morning the vacuum would suck the fill away to return the following night. Anna
