Low-Emissive or Low-E coating can increase the energy efficiency of windows. It reflects solar heat back to the outside to keep your home cooler in the summer. Installing a storm window on top of a window with Low-E coating will trap this energy. The trapped energy will bounce between the panes of glass and cause the windows to become very hot. The window glass can even be hot enough to cause property damage.
Condensation is a common issue with windows, especially in the colder weather. Leaving window shades, blinds, or drapes in the winter won’t result in condensation, but it traps the moisture near to the windows and prevents airflow. Over time, it can lead to mold and rot, which you can only get rid of by getting new windows.
