We are committed to our customers, providing exceptional products at an unbeatable price with service at the top of the list. Our products are EPA Lead-Safe certified and our windows are Energy Star certified and are backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal. Additional DBAs - Window World of St Louis & Window World Inc. Locally owned & operated by Jon Gillette & Jim Lomax.
"Never written a review in my life, but felt I should warn others of my experience. The salesman told us that they schedule when all products have come in. We made our appointment and got a call a week later that our sliding door wasn't in. We decided to keep our appointment for the windows. SInce we were painting our house I had asked the salesman if it was ok to paint near the windows or if there would be damage and I should wait. He said the crew would do some things with the install that it would be fine to paint. Well our windows have been installed and about half the windows took minor to significant damage. Our hardwood floor received a knick in it as did our granite countertop. When calling to follow up, I had to call again because I never received a call. The appointment wasn't kept the first time and then I had to reschedule again. I learned at this meeting that it is up to me, or you the customer, to seek bids in getting the damage repaired as the installers are contracted out; not Window World employees. A month later our sliding door is in and supposed to be installed today. I got a call 30 minutes after potential arrival time that that won't be happening today. Please understand this is a quick snapshot of my experience; there is certainly more to all of this and sorry I did not include pictures of the damage. Our windows were installed and they all had this gunk on it. As customers, I think you expect something new to look new. Anyone replace a floor, cabinets, or anything else in their home thinking you'll have to repair additional damage done? I sure didn't. When I called and asked to speak to a manager about all of this I was told a message would be passed on. A month later, I have yet to receive that call. In conclusion, I would avoid Window World. The customer care of providing a new, clean product that is well installed, home cared for, attention to fix issues, or that you'll take off work to be present for install doesn't seem to matter. Save yourself and your home the hassle and headache; find another company."

Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower part of a wall, adding style and protection. Beadboard is a popular type of wainscoting characterized by long, vertical panels with raised beads—small indentations or ridges between the planks. It's commonly used on walls and ceilings to add depth and character. Both wainscoting and beadboard are versatile options that allow you to enhance your indoor and outdoor spaces. Beadboard panels lock together with a tongue-and-groove joint, while shiplap—a similar style—uses a square-shaped rabbet joint.
The top of the wainscoting should be set at one-third of the room’s height. So, for a standard room with nine-foot ceilings, the wainscoting should extend exactly three feet. This precise measurement creates a balanced, elegant look that enhances overall room proportions and delivers a classic design appearance.
Wainscoting can make a room look smaller if the room has low ceilings. The same rule applies with wainscoting as it does with painting any space: In order to make the room look larger and more open, paint it a light color like white or cream. Since beadboard incorporates vertical lines in the paneling, this style of wainscoting is ideal for those wanting to make a room appear larger than it is.
While wainscoting can technically be used in any room, you’ll typically want to reserve it for a more open space, like a foyer where you want to make a dynamic first impression or a bathroom with tall ceilings. Avoid using wainscoting in small spaces with low ceilings. Open concepts like a living room and kitchen combination also don’t work well with wainscoting because there isn’t a clean break point along the walls.
Wainscoting can increase home value because it offers a refined design element that boosts buyer interest. Its elegant finish and distinctive style enhance interior aesthetics and generate a positive market impression, therefore confidently increasing the property’s overall desirability and resale value.
