Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about new construction windows in Des Moines, IA.

New construction windows in Des Moines feature an integral nailing fin that fastens directly to the exterior wall sheathing before siding is installed. Replacement windows, by contrast, lack exterior nail flanges and slide into preexisting wooden or vinyl frames as insert units.
New construction windows installed in Des Moines basement bedrooms must comply with IRC egress regulations requiring at least 5.7 square feet of clear opening area. They also mandate a minimum net clear opening height of 24 inches, width of 20 inches, and a sill height within 44 inches of the floor.
The best glass package for new construction windows in Des Moines includes double-pane or triple-pane glass with Low-E coatings and argon gas fill. Selecting a low solar heat gain coefficient on west exposures and a lower U-factor across northern walls maximizes year-round comfort.
New construction window rough openings in Des Moines are waterproofed by installing beveled sill plates, sloped sill pan flashing, and self-adhered flashing tapes overlapping the house wrap. This layered watershedding strategy forces wind-driven moisture down and away from wall cavities.

Building for Resilient Performance in Central Iowa's Climate

From custom single-family estates in Johnston and Urbandale to sprawling modern builds in Clive and Norwalk, modern residential construction demands uncompromising thermal envelopes. Integrating new construction window units during the framing phase ensures critical components—such as sill pan flashing membranes, backer rods, and jamb flashing tapes—tie directly into the home wrap. This prevents hidden framing rot caused by Iowa's violent convective thunderstorms and high-velocity wind loads.
