New Windows Freshen Up Charming Marshalltown Home

The old wood windows in this 1900s Marshalltown, Iowa home were due for an update. Not only were they drafty and inefficient, but they also looked worn out and dated. The homeowners turned to Pella of Central Iowa in Des Moines to help with their window replacement project. The home now features new Pella® Lifestyle Series wood windows that freshen the look of the house while preserving the existing charm and character.

For these homeowners, improving the performance of their windows was a top priority. They wanted windows that would improve energy efficiency by preventing air infiltration. With this goal in mind, their Pella representative recommended Lifestyle Series. This line of windows offers a triple-pane glass design with Low-E glass. In other words, these windows help the historic home stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer for year-round comfort. Proper installation is key to excellent window performance. The new, correctly installed windows deliver a tight seal that prevents air from leaking through and can help reduce the homeowners’ utility bill.

While energy efficiency was top-of-mind for these homeowners, the look of their new windows was also highly important to them. Their Iowa home was built in the 1900s and has decades of history that the owners wanted to preserve. Aiming to highlight the lasting beauty of the home, aluminum-clad wood windows were chosen to bring warmth and durability that would last for decades to come. The new wood windows complement the traditional style of the home with detailed craftsmanship and natural beauty. Those old, worn-out windows are no longer a concern as the new ones feature low-maintenance aluminum cladding on the exterior to protect them from the elements.

The homeowners were very pleased with how easy it was to replace their windows. From beginning to end, a Pella rep walked them through every step of the process. The homeowners shared their wants and needs, and the Pella team worked diligently to deliver the best products for their unique lifestyle. Plus, measuring, ordering and installing were all a breeze as the Pella expert verified everything along the way. This clear communication and friendly partnership made the project flow smoothly, and even more importantly, made for happy homeowners.
