Before and After: Huxley Home Gets New Fiberglass Windows

The owners of this home in Huxley, Iowa turned to Pella of Central Iowa to upgrade the windows in their 18-year-old home. They hoped to maintain the original look and feel, while improving durability and cutting down on maintenance.

The Pella team worked with the homeowners to find the best window replacement option for their residence. They ultimately chose Pella Impervia fiberglass windows. These windows are low maintenance and excel in strength and durability, standing up against extreme temperatures and sun damage. Resisting dents, bends and breaks, fiberglass window frames have virtually no expansion and contraction. This helps improve energy efficiency, reduce the risk for seal failure and provide long-term stability for dependable operation. There’s no doubt the new windows check all the boxes for these homeowners desiring a low-maintenance solution.

To retain the traditional window style during this upgrade, the homeowners opted for tan windows with a simple grille pattern that offers the look of divided light. The windows arrived pre-finished in a strong, long-lasting powder coat finish that resists chipping, chalking and fading. This color matches well with the home’s exterior walls, a combination of red brick and taupe siding. The grilles on these fiberglass windows are permanently sealed between the panes of glass, making the surface of the glass smooth and easy to clean. The homeowners are pleased that the new windows offer a similar look while improving durability and reducing maintenance.

Part of this replacement project required a new window for the basement. The homeowners wanted to change out their old sliding window and improve the energy efficiency, security and appearance of their egress window. They also hoped that the new window would help reduce noise levels and improve ventilation. With help from their Pella sales rep, the owners were able to select a new window that met all their criteria. Working with the Pella team also ensured the window was properly installed. After all, a window’s performance is only as good as its installation. Especially in a basement space, proper installation with a tight seal that prevents water and air leaks is essential.
