Pella® Impervia® adds casement, awning windows

New styles on display at IBS 2009

Jan 20, 2009

Neither wind nor rain nor sleet or snow stops determined mail carriers. Nor do those elements and other climate extremes faze Pella Corporation’s energy-efficient Pella Impervia line, expanding in the Spring of 2009 to include casement and awning window options.

“We’re pleased to offer more innovative solutions to builders and homeowners living in areas where a stronger, more durable window is a must,” said Duane Putz, director of sales and marketing for Pella Impervia. “This product is made for hot, cold, wet or windy climates and now it’s available in more styles.”

Pella Impervia can withstand the forces of Mother Nature without cracking, shrinking or warping in extreme weather conditions. The sleek-profiled innovative products made from Duracast®, the strongest most durable material in windows and doors, are virtually maintenance-free and well-suited to today’s busy lifestyles and balanced budgets for home and business owners.* Builders, remodelers and homeowners may choose from convenient factory prefinished brown, white or tan color options.

“I think this is a huge plus for Pella,” said Bruce Emerson, owner, BWE Construction in Lino Lakes, Minn. “We’ve purchased hundreds of Pella Impervia windows and dozens of patio doors for our projects and having another style option is great for our remodeling and replacement customers and our multi-housing market.”

Pella’s Duracast is nine times stronger than vinyl and twice as strong as aluminum.* Duracast offers excellent insulating qualities and superior energy efficiency, earning the ENERGY STAR®.
