A replacement window is sized to fit inside an existing frame after the sash units are removed
Windows and outside doors are part of a home's "building envelope," basically the materials that separate interior living space from exterior space.
When windows and exterior doors aren't energy efficient, the home's efficiency suffers and you're not as comfortable as you should be in your own house.
Installing replacement windows in Iowa, and even new exterior doors is a great way to improve both your home's appeal and its energy performance.
Dr. Energy Saver Des Moines is the local company for your window replacement and door replacement solutions. We provide top of the line service to customers in Urbandale, Ankeny, Des Moines, Melbourne, De Soto, Pleasantville, Earlham, Sully, Roland, Adel, and nearby.
If you get new replacement windows, the technician will measure your existing windows. Good measuring is important because the new windows are designed to fit inside the existing jambs.
Many replacement windows are made of vinyl which improves energy performance while providing excellent durability.
Vinyl and fiberglass replacement windows don't painting, although they can be painted if you want them to be a different color.
Durable, gorgeous, energy efficient. This new entry door looks like it's made from wood, but it has a foam insulation core covered by steel.
There's no doubt about it: Exterior doors are much better than they used to be. Today, old-fashioned solid wood exterior doors have largely been replaced by doors clad with steel, vinyl or fiberglass and filled with foam insulation.
Top-quality door models look remarkably like traditional wood versions, but offer improved efficiency, excellent dimensional stability (resistance to warping and cracking), and weather resistance.
If you need a new door, the best choice is usually a pre-hung unit — a door that comes already installed in its frame, with the threshold, weatherstripping and exterior trim attached.
Many entry doors feature side lites, which increases the size of the door's rough opening so that light and views are available around the door itself.
Since many different door styles are available, you'll want to look at a variety of doors before making your selection. To avoid the expense of altering the existing opening, make sure your new door is sized to fit in the existing rough opening.
