Default Are Storm Windows a reasonable approach for newish vinyl windows?

That got me thinking - does anyone think a storm window might be a
reasonable approach on this picture window?


What about the heat gain and sun damage especially on the SW side? I
thought storm windows over vinyl was a big no-no.

i believe you are right. i know the new steel(at least my manuf. said
no) and fiberglass doors it is
a no no. esp. on the south and sw side. if you do have one make sure it
is open at the top and probably the bottom to let the heat out.
