Question
I need a replacement or covering for my windows that will allow airflow but block light and sound. Any ideas?
Is there a panel option that could be put up when I go to bed and removed at the end of the night? I need to block light and sound, e.g., airplanes/auto engines.
Answer
Hi Sharon,
There is a company up in your neck of the woods -- Hartford, I believe -- that makes interior storm windows.
- Not sure why you would want airflow around your windows -- typically you want a tight seal around your windows so you do not lose your heat to the outdoors.
- These interior storms are friction-fit, so very easy to install (DIY) and they are removable if you want to take them out.
- They will not only cut down on the noise but will save you energy as well.
