Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about double-hung windows in Des Moines, IA.
Double-Hung Windows Des Moines, IA
Replacing Outdated Sashes Across Des Moines Neighborhoods
Thousands of homes across Des Moines—from brick bungalows in the Drake neighborhood to classic Colonials along Grand Avenue—rely on traditional double-hung windows. Unfortunately, original counterweight-and-pulley designs feature uninsulated hollow wall cavities that channel freezing winter drafts straight into living spaces. Our double-hung installations eliminate these thermal leaks by packing weight cavities with mineral wool, securing new frames, and applying low-expansion polyurethane insulating foam for airtight perimeter seals.
