Custom Floor-to-Ceiling Windows and Grilles for Johnston Home

Humid Midwestern summers and harsh winters for 25 years left severely rotted windows in their wake. Leaky and unattractive designs necessitated window replacement for these Johnston, Iowa homeowners. With the living room walls made of mostly windows, the homeowners knew they needed a long-lasting design from a company they could trust. They turned to Pella of Central Iowa for their window replacement.

The Johnston homeowners wanted one-of-a-kind floor-to-ceiling windows with grilles extending the entire height of the window wall. Their helpful Pella sales representative recommended wood windows, which offer more customization options than other materials, to create to the custom traditional design they were looking for.

In addition to highly customizable designs, Pella’s wood windows deliver advanced protection from the effects of moisture, decay and stains from mold and mildew. The exclusive EnduraGuard® wood protection also defends against termite damage. Pella wood windows also feature low-maintenance cladding on the exterior which protects the wood windows from the elements, resisting rot and corrosion. These advanced measures and the best limited lifetime warranty in the industry for wood windows gave these homeowners confidence in choosing wood windows from Pella.¹⁹

The statement floor-to-ceiling windows are comprised of wood awning, picture, casement and triangle windows. These windows feature a painted white interior and durable aluminum-clad exterior that will withstand the test of time. The West and East walls of the living room feature casement windows on bottom and picture windows above them. The casement windows can be opened on both sides to create a pleasant cross breeze. On the South wall, a picture window is flanked by two awning windows that provide extra ventilation and allow fresh air to circulate around the room. Picture windows and a custom triangle window continue the combination upwards and deliver a traditional look.

To create their unique aesthetic, the homeowners worked with Pella’s team of architectural experts to design and execute their custom traditional window grilles.
