Altoona is a growing community on the eastern edge of the Des Moines metro, home to Adventureland Resort and Prairie Meadows. The city offers affordable housing options and a small-town feel with easy access to the amenities of the larger metro area.
Altoona's eastern metro location gets the brunt of winter storms moving across Iowa's open farmland, with wind-driven snow and ice that test the durability and sealing of every window in the home.
Altoona's housing growth has included both new construction and established neighbourhoods with homes dating back to the 1960s-80s. Older homes particularly benefit from window replacement, as original windows in this climate zone are significant sources of energy waste and discomfort during Iowa's harsh winters.

We chose Panes for our Altoona home window project and are so glad we did. The windows are high quality, the price was competitive, and the installation was done right. Our living room used to be freezing in winter and now it is comfortable all season long. — Kevin T., Adventureland area
