The biggest trend in windows today is energy savings. Windows are being designed with the environment in mind and eye towards a healthier living style.

Pella offers Energy Star rated windows, doors and skylights among their countless offerings. In 2007, Energy Star products were responsible for reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 27 million vehicles.

Windows offer tremendous potential when it comes to energy efficiency as compared to other products like insulation and heating systems. The return on investment for windows is high, often returning 80% or more in most markets according to Remodeling Magazine. Pella’s Designer series window and patio doors with triple-pane glass rate number one for energy efficiency among the top national brands. And Pella’s Low-E insulated glass with argon helps prevent the transfer of heat and reduces ultraviolet rays that damage carpeting, fabrics and wall coverings. These are particularly effective for your east and west windows that get subjected to intense morning and afternoon sunlight.
