Frequently Asked Questions
Des Moines homeowners face significant seasonal temperature fluctuations, with winter lows around 22°F and summer highs regularly in the mid-80s. This extreme range demands windows and doors with excellent thermal performance. Additionally, Iowa's position in "Tornado Alley" means impact resistance is crucial, as the area ranks sixth nationally for tornado frequency. When selecting replacements, prioritize double or triple-pane windows with Low-E coatings and argon gas fill for insulation, along with frames that won't expand or contract excessively with temperature changes, like our Fibrex® material. For maximum protection, consider impact-resistant glass that meets ASTM standards for high-wind events.
In Des Moines, double-hung windows remain the most popular choice due to their versatility and traditional appearance that complements the city's diverse architectural styles, from Victorian homes in Sherman Hill to mid-century neighborhoods. Casement windows are increasingly favored for their superior energy efficiency and tight seal—crucial during Iowa's harsh winters. For newer homes, sliding windows offer contemporary aesthetics with large glass areas that maximize natural light during shorter winter days. Each style can be customized with energy-efficient glass packages specifically designed to handle Iowa's temperature extremes while reducing heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Des Moines homeowners must comply with Iowa's adoption of the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code, which requires windows with U-factors of 0.32 or lower and appropriate Solar Heat Gain Coefficients. While permits aren't typically needed for like-for-like replacements, structural changes or egress window installations do require city approval. The good news is that energy-efficient upgrades may qualify for significant incentives, which our consultants can help navigate during your free in-home consultation.
Delaying window or door replacement in Des Moines can be particularly costly due to the region's extreme seasonal changes. Older, failing windows allow significant heat loss during harsh Iowa winters, potentially increasing heating bills by 25-30%. During summer months, inefficient windows contribute to higher cooling costs and increased strain on air conditioning systems. Beyond energy waste, postponing replacements can lead to moisture infiltration during heavy rainfall or spring thaws, potentially causing structural damage, mold growth, and compromised indoor air quality. Additionally, as over 78% of Des Moines' housing stock was built before 1980, older homes with original windows may be losing value and comfort with each passing season of extreme weather.
