Our front door was a bit of a poser for putting on a storm window. The molded handgrips for sliding the bottom pane up and down in summer projected just far enough beyond the lip of the window frame that a solid piece of acrylic wouldn’t fit flush to the frame.
In a thunderbolt of inspiration while waiting patiently on the deck the other night for Kenny and Donna get take off their boots and jackets and make way for me, I realized that I didn’t HAVE to install my acrylic on the inside of the windows! I could also try the outside!
I took a picture of the window one morning showing all the condensation that had built up.

And condensation where the two panes meet as well. |

You can see a fair bit along the bottom edge here. Note the molded handles that caused some grief. |

No condensation today! |
Yeah! A win! Why was it still 14 degrees inside though?

I like the funky green frame! |
