Bow Window Replacement Restores Comfort in 1950s Sioux City Home

This 1956 Sioux City home had a bow window that showed clear signs of age. Wood rot, clad discoloration and water infiltration had damaged both the look and performance of the unit. The dining room often felt drafty, and the homeowners could no longer open or close the windows with ease. 

By partnering with the local Pella Sioux City team, the homeowners selected a Lifestyle Series bow window designed to fit the existing opening while delivering modern performance.

The new bow window was built with advanced Low-E insulating glass and Argon, significantly improving energy performance compared to the original unit. The result is a dining room that stays more comfortable year-round, reducing drafts and helping manage energy costs. Just as importantly, the casement units now open and close smoothly, restoring function to a space the homeowners use daily.

Crafted in durable EnduraClad® brown aluminum exterior with a golden oak stained wood interior, the replacement window pairs strength outside with natural warmth inside. The updated look complements the home’s mid-century character while ensuring resistance to rot, discoloration and future water infiltration.

Replacing a large bow window in a mid-century home requires careful measurement and expertise. The Pella Sioux City team managed the project from order to installation, ensuring a precise fit and a finished look that feels original to the home. 

For the homeowners, the project brought peace of mind: a more energy-efficient, durable, and easy-to-use window that revitalized their dining space.
