Pella Windows And Doors

For most Americans, Pella is a known brand. They are perhaps best known for their high end or premium wood windows and have been making them for over 100 years. The company also manufactures fiberglass and vinyl windows – although not for as long as their wood windows and doors. In truth, they don’t do as good a job (by quite a bit) with these other materials, although their vinyl windows have come a long ways. (They started out making pretty awful windows in the form of the Thermostar series – quite possibly one of the worst windows around.
