to move the company forward. This included a rebrand
of the company to showcase the business to its best effect

Storm Windows continues to go from strength to strength
and the rest, as they say, is history!
The Storm Windows Difference – Where Design
Meets Functionality
What sets Storm Windows apart is their slimline,
minimalist design, which offers both aesthetic appeal and
substantial thermal improvements for heritage properties.
Their system integrates discreetly within the staff beads
without requiring a bulky wooden subframe, ensuring a
full seal against draughts. Fully customisable to any
RAL/BS colour, their secondary glazing allows the original
windows to remain the focal feature while significantly
enhancing thermal and acoustic properties.
Clients have come to appreciate their ability to adapt their
systems to fit any size and shape of window, making them
the preferred choice for a wide variety of exciting
projects.
Quarter of a Century of Standout Projects
Throughout their 25 years, Storm Windows have treated
every project - big or small - with the utmost care. Their
journey has led to collaborations on iconic projects that
stand out for a number of reasons. Some highlights
include:
- The Rosetti Hotel, Manchester: A landmark job for
their team, where Kerry, their sales secretary, made a
remarkable debut by securing an order of 135 units on her
first assignment!
- Devon & Exeter Museum: The challenge of installing
a complex, curved roof lantern was met head-on,
showcasing their team’s technical expertise.
- Dorset County Museum: Their first curved plan units
divided into eight individual panels in a turret window
becomes a hallmark of their innovation.
- Royal Hospital Chelsea: Remarked by Storm Windows
as a privilege to work on, this project underscores their
commitment to preserving important buildings while
enhancing the quality of life for their residents.

Manufacturers are investing in energy efficient innovations that deliver incredible benefits in terms of thermal
and acoustic insulation. Moving forward, the industry is
adapting to tightening conservation regulations and a
requirement to meet lower U-values.
The variety of projects they undertake - often including
notable celebrity clients -has added huge variety to their
work.
Championing Innovation and Sustainability
From the very beginning Storm Windows has been open
to innovation, finding new ways to improve what they do,
and provide a better service to their clients. Boundaries
are constantly being pushed to manufacture secondary
glazing that meets the requirements of primary windows.
Energy efficiency is of increasing importance to their
clients, not only from a cost-saving perspective but
also because of growing concerns about sustainability.
