Storm Windows Des Moines, IA

Historic Preservation and Superior Weather Defense

Installing heavy-duty storm windows in Des Moines protects historic architecture while building an impenetrable thermal barrier against harsh Midwestern elements.

Designed for historic residences across central Iowa, our secondary glazing solutions mount seamlessly over existing wood or steel frames. Fabricated from extruded aluminum alloy with resilient baked-on enamel finishes and low-emissivity glass, our storm units eliminate interior window rattles, shield architectural wood sashes from rot-inducing rain, and drastically reduce street noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about storm windows in Des Moines, IA.

Storm windows help eliminate interior glass condensation in Des Moines by establishing an insulating dead-air pocket that keeps the primary interior glass surface warmer. Raising the temperature of the indoor pane above the dew point significantly prevents moisture and frost accumulation.
You do not need to remove your historic wood windows to add storm windows in Des Moines because our secondary glazing installs over the exterior frame. This allows you to retain original interior wood sashes and hardware while dramatically improving energy efficiency.
Modern storm windows equipped with Low-E glass deliver near-equal thermal performance to full window replacements at a fraction of the investment. They cut draft leakage and raise overall thermal resistance to meet Energy Star benchmarks on vintage homes.
Exterior storm windows require minimal maintenance consisting of clearing track weep holes once per year and cleaning the glass panes with mild detergent. The durable powder-coated aluminum frames never require scraping, priming, or repainting.

Defend Your Home Against Convective Storms and Blizzards

Des Moines storms deliver driving rain, hail, and relentless winter winds that degrade unprotected historic sash joints. A precision-fitted storm unit acts as a protective shield, taking the brunt of severe convective weather while forming a dead-air insulating buffer that arrests convective heat transfer and stops interior glass frosting.
