How to Build a Cypress Storm Window Frame
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2020
- We have a ton of windows in our house and buying storm windows would cost a fortune. Also, we wanted 1/4" laminated glass for protection from storms as well as sound proofing. So, we're making them from scratch! In this episode, I'm assembling the window frame.

This is exactly what I was looking for, I’ll check to see if you show how to put glass in it.
I really wish I had recorded how to insert the glass and also the installation of the windows. This whole process took about 1.5 years because I was mostly working alone and I have 37 windows on my house.
@@SomewhatAbnormal hi, it’s me again, this time I’m wondering who makes the Orange brackets that are screwed on to the board? Did you use boiled linseed oil to preserve the wood? I love this kind of stuff. My husband thinks I’m nuts. I reglazed several windows and loved every minute of it. Restoring old windows is definitely a labor of love.
Cindy, I'm glad to help because I'm a DIY geek as well! This is a list of most of the tools and supplies I used to build the windows:

Beautiful! 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
when installing the window, did you put any weatherstripping around the outside edges of the storm window, such as a silicone bulb?
Yes, I added a rubber gasket, bulb type like you mentioned. They are holding up fairly well, but I may need to update that soon. The adhesive strip is not holding up to the heat as well as I hoped.
This was a great video. Do you have any videos of you making the windows?
Unfortunately, I believe this is the only video I have for this. I intended to create another, but at the time the project took priority over filming.

After I posted that reply about changing my channel, I took a different approach to organizing my stuff. Sorry for the confusion! The channel URL is ruclips.net/channel/UChfwzKwZGoB0NI1iEUh4U7g
More videos please?😊
Coming soon! I promise. I'm in the process of doing some office and workspace renovation so my life will be easier!
