Default Storm Windows on Aluminum Windows

All the directions I've seen for installing a storm window on an
existing window have to do with screwing the flange into a wooden
frame. My frames are aluminum and very narrow; any screw going
through the aluminum would probably interfere with the window track.
The exterior wall is brick. How would a storm window be installed in
this situation?

Thanks


is their any room next to the window with wood on it before it hits
brick or is it brick to window.

if you have brick to window I hope you have newer thermal windows. my
nieghbor just replace his with this type of set up.
try real shutters that close and latch. hence (storm) windows.

I have a similiar set up. and there is a alumium frame extension for
the window you don't see that goes un
der the wood siding then there's the brick. and the stormwindow goes
right out side of the aluminum window frame and is screwed in.

good luck.
