For homeowners in Des Moines, a common mistake when considering impact windows is focusing solely on their storm-resistant capabilities, overlooking the significant energy efficiency they offer.

What affects the price

The final price for impact windows depends on several variables. The biggest factor is the size and type of your window frames, along with the specific glass thickness required for your local building codes. Opting for custom shapes or specialized tints also shifts the total. Installation complexity matters too; if your existing frames are damaged or if the project requires extra structural support, labor costs will increase. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer heat puts a massive strain on air conditioning systems. Impact windows help manage indoor temperatures by blocking out intense solar heat, which means your cooling system does not have to work nearly as hard. This efficiency is a huge benefit during the hottest months, helping you maintain a cool home without excessive energy waste.

Frequently asked in Des Moines

What's the most common oversight regarding impact windows in Des Moines?

A common oversight in Des Moines is focusing only on the storm protection aspect of impact windows and not realizing their substantial energy-saving benefits. These windows create a much tighter seal, reducing drafts and heat transfer, which can significantly lower heating and cooling costs throughout the year. This dual function makes them a wise investment.

How do impact windows contribute to energy savings in Des Moines?

Impact windows contribute to energy savings in Des Moines by creating a superior seal against outside air. This means less heated air escapes in winter and less cool air is lost in summer. The laminated glass also helps regulate indoor temperature by reflecting solar heat. Consequently, your HVAC system works less, reducing energy consumption and costs.

Are impact windows necessary in Des Moines if we don't have hurricanes?

While Des Moines doesn't face hurricane threats, impact windows offer crucial protection against severe thunderstorms, high winds, and hail, which can occur in Iowa. They also enhance home security against break-ins and can reduce outdoor noise. The energy efficiency improvements alone make them a beneficial upgrade for any homeowner.
