Custom Ordering Storm Windows
Hello,
Does anyone know where I could still purchase custom storm windows? For years I always custom ordered Larson windows through the big box stores. Sadly Larson discontinued all their storm windows at the end of last year. I know Jeld Wen used to make them but they also discontinued them in recent years. I liked being able to measure and order my own as opposed to having a company come out and do it. My guess is that with all the vinyl replacement windows going in there isn’t as much of a market anymore. I just bought a 100 year old bungalow with most of it’s original windows, but some of the windows don’t have them and a couple that are there now are broken.

I also bought Larson storms and need a few more for windows that have very very old storms and one internal for a window with exterior bars and no storm window (opens on an unconditioned enclosed back porch)...I want to buy Pro-Vias, but have not figured out who would sell them in the D.C. area.
Any advice?
Have you tried searching for "glazing shops" near you? They are usually small businesses that provide a variety of glazing services such as shower and railing glass, storefronts, replacement windows and custom storm windows.
Update -- called Pro-Via, and they, like Larson, no longer make storm windows. Quanta panel does. Theirs cost about $100/window more than Larson did about four years ago (most of my windows are 31 inches by 72 inches, fwiw; cost for Quanta panel is about $250/window at that size)
