Nestled in the prestigious neighborhood of Avery Ranch, Texas, this charming brick home was relatively new when we had the opportunity to work on it. The original vinyl windows were only five years old when the new buyer noticed degradation in several rooms. Built to meet minimum code requirements using simple, inexpensive materials, these builder-grade products were very low quality. Understanding the importance of investing in longevity over immediate savings, the owner turned to Pella of Austin for high-quality replacement windows.
Quality Vinyl Windows Deliver Durability Against Texas Heat
With a plethora of vinyl window options on the market, it's crucial not to succumb to the allure of the lowest price point. For the homeowner of this Avery Ranch house, durability and ease of maintenance were top priorities when looking for new windows. We recommended Pella 250 Series for its strength and dependability. With multi-chambered frames and reinforced sashes, Pella 250 Series window frames are 52% stronger than ordinary vinyl.8 The design of these windows also helps eliminate “vinyl smile,” a problem that occurs when vinyl windows crack, sag, fade or chalk due to exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. This was an obvious issue with the prior products. Compared to the existing builder-grade windows, the new windows are much higher quality and easier to care for. They are made to last with Pella's fade-resistant vinyl formula, which is performance tested for excellent weathering and color retention, even in places like Austin where the UV rays can be harsh.
Double-Hung Windows Enhance Curb Appeal
The installation of quality vinyl windows not only addresses the functional shortcomings of the originals but also breathes new life into the aesthetic appeal of the home. With their timeless design and crisp white color, the double-hung windows complement the traditional style of this home, enhancing its overall curb appeal. These windows also provide practical benefits such as easy operation, improved ventilation and architectural authenticity.
With new vinyl windows, the homeowner can rest assured knowing that their investment is built to last. Gone are the worries of constant maintenance or premature deterioration. Instead, they enjoy the peace of mind that comes with quality craftsmanship and superior performance.
