7 Reasons You’ll Appreciate Having New Pella Wood Windows on Your Home
1. Variety of Product Lines to Personalize Your Installation
To make it easy to find your ideal combination of benefits for your budget and vision, you’ll be able to choose from three lines of beautiful Pella wood windows to find your dream match.
- Pella Lifestyle Series — Rated the number one wood window in terms of energy efficiency, noise control, and value, Pella’s Lifestyle windows are a wonderful option for any home. Their looks and colors can complement any architectural design, and you can opt for between-the-glass blinds, an exclusive feature of the Lifestyle series.
- Pella Reserve — Tailor-made to suit your home’s unique style, Pella Reserve windows are available in historically authentic traditional styles as well as striking contemporary styles. They can be crafted to complement any look with custom sizes, grille patterns, finishes, wood types and glass options for ultimate personalization.
2. Warm, Welcoming Appeal
There’s just something about the appeal of natural wood, isn’t there? With attractive woodgrain patterns that catch the eye and an organic feel that’s hard to beat, wood windows feel grounded and soothing—a lot like a refreshing walk in the park. With Pella windows, you can enjoy the craftsmanship and natural beauty of genuine wood for your home. Choose from three beautiful natural woods—Pine, Mahogany or Douglas Fir—which can be stained to match your home’s décor. For added options, Pella offers White Oak, Red Oak, Cherry and Maple in their Reserve and Architect Series window lines.
3. Customizable Designs
Among window materials, wood stands out because it is so versatile. It offers the most opportunity for customizability with its ability to showcase intricate designs and eye-catching workmanship. So if your goal for your windows is to achieve a unique, personalized aesthetic, wood is ideal. Whether you want a classic, traditional look or a fresh modern feel, natural wood will deliver what you’re looking for. And Pella windows in particular are known for their gorgeous designs and premium features that homeowners appreciate.
4. Superb Energy-Efficiency
As a natural insulating material, real wood windows are extremely energy efficient. When properly installed by pros (like us!), your Pella wood replacement windows will fit snugly into your exterior walls—preventing moisture intrusion and drafts from affecting your indoor temperature and comfort. New wood windows by Pella also feature the latest technologies and materials—such as multiple panes of energy-efficient glass—which helps to decrease your home energy costs.
5. Lasting Quality with Proper Upkeep
Natural wood is undeniably beautiful—with an elegant woodgrain appearance that homeowners can enjoy for decades. You may have heard that the tradeoff for this is a lot of care, but that’s not necessarily as big of an issue as you may think. While wood windows do need a little more maintenance than manmade materials, the time you spend in proper upkeep is worth the value you get from organic wood’s attractiveness. Regularly caring for your Pella windows with fresh weatherproofing (fresh paint, stain or finish) will go a long way toward keeping them looking and performing at their best throughout their lifespan. With attentive upkeep, they’ll last for years.
6. Ideal for Historic Home Remodeling
If you own a historic home in one of Indianapolis’s many locally protected districts, it’s vital to choose windows that meet any rules and requirements associated with historic home renovation. Pella wood windows are an excellent choice in cases like this. Their wood frames can be customized to match your house’s unique architectural style, refreshing its appearance and providing high performance at the same time.
7. Weather and Pest Resistant Performance
While wood is an organic material, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to expect less durability out of it. With the right design and care, wood windows can successfully stand up to Indianapolis’s demanding seasonal changes. Pella windows are a great option for our region because their exterior frames can be protected with Pella’s EnduraClad. This low-maintenance, durable finish keeps your windows safeguarded from the elements, so you don’t have to stress about the risk of rot or corrosion. Pella provides this weather-resistant exterior cladding in a variety of colors to complement your home. Plus, termites and other pests can’t eat away at this cladding, offering you further protection against the elements.
