Pella Impervia Fiberglass Double Hung Window

The Pella Impervia Fiberglass Double Hung May Be a Great Fit for You If You’re Looking For:

• The ability to maximize ventilation when opening windows and have the ability to easily clean from inside your home.
• A low-maintenance alternative to wood without compromising on the look and beauty of traditional wood windows.
• A budget-friendly upgrade that offers more than standard vinyl window solutions.
• Greater customization options than what standard vinyl windows typically allow.
• The ability to maximize glass space with slimmer window frames.
• An industry-leading warranty from a company with over 100 years of proven success.

How does the Double Hung open and what are the benefits: The Pella Impervia Double Hung window operates with two movable sashes, allowing both the top and bottom sashes to open independently. This provides flexible ventilation options—either from the top, the bottom, or both simultaneously—enhancing airflow control in your home. Unlike single-hung windows, where only the bottom sash opens, double-hung windows make cleaning easier, as both sashes tilt inward, allowing you to clean the exterior glass from inside your home. The dual sash operation also provides better temperature regulation and improves energy efficiency, offering a superior balance of convenience and performance for homeowners.

What are fiberglass frame materials and why are they beneficial: Fiberglass is a durable, high-performance material with key differences from vinyl windows. Unlike concerns sometimes found with vinyl, fiberglass offers superior strength and rigidity, preventing warping and maintaining its shape even in extreme temperatures. Its strength allows for slimmer window frames compared to vinyl, resulting in larger glass areas that bring in more natural light and enhance views. Additionally, fiberglass is resistant to fading, providing a long-lasting, vibrant finish for darker colors, whereas vinyl may be limited to lighter colors due to sun exposure over time. Homeowners choosing Pella Impervia fiberglass frames will find a robust, energy-efficient material that requires minimal maintenance, offering a smart and lasting alternative to vinyl window frames.For a stylish and durable window option, you may also want to explore our Simonton 5500 Series Vinyl Picture Window, which offers exceptional performance alongside the Pella Impervia Fiberglass Double Hung Window.

Pella Impervia Fiberglass vs. Vinyl Windows: Key Differences

Pella Impervia Fiberglass windows offer distinct advantages over traditional vinyl windows in several areas, including frame thickness, light, and appearance. Here are some key differences between the Pella Impervia Double Hung made with Fiberglass and traditional vinyl double-hung windows:

• Strength: Fiberglass is up to 10x stronger than ordinary vinyl frames, providing superior durability and longevity, which helps prevent warping or cracking commonly seen in vinyl.
• Frame Thickness: Vinyl windows often have thicker frames that reduce the glass area, while Impervia fiberglass allows for slimmer frames, letting in more light and offering enhanced exterior views.
• Customization Options: Vinyl frames may limit color options to prevent fading or warping from sun exposure. In contrast, Impervia fiberglass offers a wide range of color options and finishes, enabling homeowners to customize their windows to match any home style.
• Appearance: Impervia fiberglass windows feature a sleek, timeless style with clean lines and versatile design elements. Available in a variety of colors, including black, they offer solid-color frames for both the interior and exterior.
