Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Litchfield, Minnesota, these homeowners sought to update the windows in their living and dining room area. While their original 1980s Pella windows had served them well, it was time for an update. They wanted to replace their old windows with new, energy-efficient ones. While swapping out the windows, it also seemed like an opportune time to update the interior trim around and between the windows. Given their great experience with their original Pella windows, they didn’t think twice about who to work with for this replacement project. Our team at Pella of Minnesota was up to the task.
Walls of Windows Frame Woodsy Litchfield Lake Scene
Central to the redesign of this home was a vision for edgy, contemporary style. A sleek, modern front door stands as a statement piece, transforming the original outdated entry. The fiberglass front door with glass features four equal panes. Minimalist details like clean lines and black color fuse contemporary design with timeless elegance. Choosing clear, unobstructed glass, rather than textured or decorative glass, exudes a sense of understated luxury and refinement. Combined with sidelights on both sides of the door, this entryway allows plenty of natural light into the foyer for a warm and inviting ambiance. The homeowner loves her new front door, reflecting “that was the best decision of them all.”
Energy-Efficient Wood Windows Reduce Heat Transfer
For the homeowner, the charm of their Litchfield home rests in its natural woodsy surroundings. The replacement windows needed to seamlessly integrate with the existing home design and beauty of their backyard. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the replacement wood windows complement the outdoor surroundings with their natural beauty. With the sunlight pouring through these staircase windows all afternoon, the homeowners also recognized the need for energy-efficient windows that would help keep the house at a comfortable temperature year-round. With features such as triple-pane glass options, these windows provide superior insulation, reducing heat loss and enhancing overall comfort. A virtually invisible Low-E glass coating, optimized for Minnesota’s climate, helps block the sun’s harmful UV rays. Combine these things with proper installation by our expert team and the homeowners now have new windows that perform their best, preventing leaks and drafts.
