Winterset is the charming county seat of Madison County, famous for its historic covered bridges and as the birthplace of John Wayne. The city features a picturesque town square, well-preserved Victorian and early American homes, and a vibrant arts community that draws visitors from across the state.
Winterset's Madison County hilltop location is exposed to biting northwest winter winds, with temperatures regularly falling below -10F and heavy ice storms that stress older window frames and seals.
Winterset's historic homes around the town square and in established neighbourhoods often retain original windows from the late 1800s and early 1900s. While these homes have tremendous character, their aging windows are a major source of heat loss in Madison County's cold, windy winters.

We own a Victorian home near the Winterset square and finding windows that honour the architecture was essential. Panes delivered custom profiles that look period-perfect and our home stays warm even during the worst January storms. — Nancy J., Town Square
