Douglas Fir Combination Storm Windows

The Reproduction Manufacturing, LLC Combination Storm / Screen windows are designed to be installed into the opening for the building’s original storm windows or the opening for the screen in buildings originally equipped with shutters.

All stiles and rails are designed to be the same profile as the original windows. The difference is that our windows have a stationary Main Frame with removable upper and lower sashes which enable them to be removed separately and a screen sash installed in the warmer months.  The sashes are interchangeable in that the screen can be installed at the top or bottom of the opening, all sashes are removable for cleaning and maintenance.

The measurements of the components of our window is as follows:

Stiles (vertical portion of window)                            2”
Top Rail (horizontal piece)                                         2”
Bottom Rail (horizontal)                                             adjustable for alignment with primary window
Parting Rail (where sashes come together)             2”

This information is important, especially in Historic Districts, as the primary concern is that the new windows are consistent with the original windows.

Main Frames – Constructed of 5/4 (1” actual) Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) Douglas Fir shaped to receive sash frames.  Main Frames are joined using Stainless Steel fasteners.  Frames are predrilled for assembly and attachment to building.

Sash Frames – Constructed of 4/4 (11/16" actual) CVG Douglas Fir profiled to set into main frames, and into each other and the main frame with tongue and grooved profiling.  Sash frames are joined using bridle joinery and fastened using hardwood pegs.  Installation of glazing is accomplished by removing the 2 Stainless Steel screws at the bottom rail of the sash allowing for its removal and installation of the glass.  The sash frames are slotted 3/32” to receive standard single strength clear or low-e  glass and do not require field installed stops or glazing.  Optional muntins are available for larger windows.
