below are some few ideas you can consider for your aluminium storm window repair.

Are they scratched, cracked or do they have broken glazing? In this case for you to fix the aluminium storm windows you will have to remove the storm sash or the screen. Then remove the glazing, which is usually glass or acrylic plastic.

You may find that the edges are fastened by metal keys in this case you will need to remove the screws to remove some of the corners – one or maybe two. If you find that they are crimped then an awl could be used to extract the vinyl splints that are used to fasten the glazing.

Once you have completed all that you can then install the new glazing (2mm). Just make sure that you make it smaller than the interior frame measurement in order to enable some expansion and contraction. Just put the glazing vinyl on the glass and then fit it into the frame. Then put together the corers. If you are dealing with crimps frames just lay the glass within the frame and just press the vinyl weather seal so that it locks in to the joint between the frame and glass.
