Window replacement services in Des Moines, IA are an effective means to decrease heating and cooling costs. In many cases, window retrofit services can be performed for a fraction of the cost of replacing existing windows. By utilizing existing window systems, much of the cost associated with upgrading windows is avoided. There is also minimal disruption to a building’s occupants and little to no construction mess. Occupants will be more comfortable, and owners will benefit from lower energy bills.

Inovues, Inc., an award-winning climate-tech startup, has pioneered a new window retrofit process that significantly increases window insulation. The process involves installing a second layer of glass over an existing window system. By doubling up the glass and leaving an air gap between them, the window insulating properties are multiplied. The system works with most windows and curtain walls and doesn’t require drilling. 

Commercial window retrofit services solve other problems as well. The new exterior glass is stronger than the old glass it is covering. The new glass can be tinted to increase energy efficiency and block out damaging UV rays. The new window systems are better at keeping moisture, especially condensation, out of your building which makes it more comfortable.

A window retrofit project can be combined with additional exterior restoration services to significantly improve the efficiency and overall aesthetics of a building. Caulking services relieve energy expenses by blocking all heating and cooling leaks. Protective coatings improve the look of a building while making it easier to maintain and reducing cleaning costs for years. 

This new window retrofit process does not damage the existing envelope and there is little to no construction mess. New window installation services in Des Moines, IA are significantly more invasive than the retrofit since they require the complete removal of an existing window system before replacing it with a new one. Window glass replacement services in Des Moines, IA tend to make a significant mess and have long timelines.
