Re: Any advice on restoring Steel Casement windows?
I can't remove them unless I am going to replace them with something else because they have a fin around the outside that is set in the mortar of the bricks. So refinish in place it is. I also have to find a way to do some kind of interior storm/screen.

question about brands of aluminum storm windows
Of those of you who have bought Aluminum storm windows for your refurbished wood windows, has anyone bought Quaker brand or Provia brand and if so can you review them for me?
are they well weatherstripped ? Quality? Price? Have you had any problems with them?
thanks

Re: Music lovers, stereos ... what are some of you doing?
I currently have 8 REVEL speakers in my home theater and I use my KEFs with the living room TV. All are wired and when we move to our WV house they are coming with me and I don't care about the size or the wires I care about the SOUND.

Re: all I need to know about storm Windows?
I will be going with either Larson Gold or Provia alluminum storms. It sounds to me like you could use one of those on some of your windows but it sounds like the swing out ones, you might want Interior storms for instead.

Re: Larson Storm Windows

I will probably go back and forth between silver and gold right up to when I order them.
