Benefits of Vinyl Windows
Our practically priced vinyl replacement windows feature precise craftsmanship and energy efficiency in a low-maintenance package, giving you peace of mind for years.
Low Maintenance
Vinyl windows don’t need much maintenance, other than cleaning with soap and water. You won’t have to paint or stain your windows every few years. In fact, you’ll never need to repaint them.
Energy Efficient
Vinyl is a great insulator and limits heat and cold.
Depending on the Pella product line you choose, you can customize energy efficiency with:
- Glass options, such as dual- or triple-pane glass with Low-E and argon
- ENERGY STAR®-rated options that can help you save on energy bills
- Vinyl frame foam insulation
Affordable
Vinyl is frequently the most affordable option when you need to have your windows replaced.
Customizable
There’s more to vinyl than just white.
Create your own look with Pella’s dual-color frames. Choose a different color, like black or gray, to enhance your home’s architecture. Our DuraColor™ exterior finishes exceed industry standards for fade resistance1 to help supply long-lasting richness.
Ask your Pella professional how you can further modify your windows with:
- Grilles
- Hardware
- Between-the-glass shades and blinds
Durable
We design and test our vinyl windows to endure exposure to sunlight, humidity and temperatures.
Benefits of Wood Windows
Our premium, high-performing styles give your home a cozy feeling that only genuine wood can provide.
