One Brand, Five Very Different Windows
Pella builds windows at every level, from hardworking vinyl to hand-finished wood. That depth matters, because no two homes ask the same thing of their windows. A century-old foursquare, a mid-century ranch, and a brand-new build all deserve different answers.
NextWave Exteriors is a family-owned Chicagoland company and a certified, authorized Pella® installer. Our job is to know all five lines inside and out, listen to what you want to change about your home, and match you to the line that gets you there without paying for features you will never use.
Every recommendation comes with firm pricing at a free consultation, and every installation is covered by a lifetime labor guarantee and four decades of local experience.
The Five Pella Lines We Install
- Lifestyle Series: wood beauty with room-by-room performance upgrades
- Impervia: fiberglass strength in sleek modern frames
- 250 Series: durable vinyl with a huge style range
- Reserve Contemporary: slim frames and oversized glass
- Reserve Traditional: true-to-period detail for classic homes
Explore the Pella Lineup
Each line below solves a different problem. Read them the way we explain them at your kitchen table: by what they are best at, not by what they cost.
Pella Lifestyle Series
Wood windows that let you decide where the performance dollars go. Pick triple-pane glass for the bedroom facing the street, sound control where the neighborhood gets loud, and standard dual-pane where it is already quiet, all within the same order.
- Dual- and triple-pane glass options you can mix from room to room
- Quiet Mark certified sound reduction on select models
- Cordless blinds and shades sealed between the panes, kid-safe and nearly dust-free
- Optional factory-installed security sensors, invisible from the street
Pella Impervia
Pella’s proprietary fiberglass shrugs off the freeze-thaw swings that crack and warp lesser frames. The material is so strong that the frames stay slim, which means more visible glass and more daylight in every opening.
- Proprietary fiberglass tested from -40°F to 180°F
- Slim, strong frames that maximize visible glass
- Resists cracking, warping, and deterioration season after season
- Modern finishes including bold black
Pella 250 Series
Proof that vinyl can be a serious window. Color runs solid through the entire frame so small scratches never show, corners are precision-welded against twisting, and the style list covers nearly every opening a house can throw at it.
- High-grade vinyl that never needs paint and resists yellowing
- Precision-welded frames that hold their shape in extreme weather
- Optional foam insulation and steel reinforcement for added efficiency and strength
- Awning, casement, single-hung, double-hung, sliding, pass-through, bay, and bow styles
Pella Reserve, Contemporary
For homeowners who want walls of glass and clean, uninterrupted lines. Sightlines stay razor thin, the hardware is exclusive to the Reserve line, and finishes range from curated palettes to a custom color you define yourself.
- Slim sightlines that maximize daylight and views
- Oversized windows and one-of-a-kind custom shapes
- Exclusive high-end hardware with smooth, precise operation
- Meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR® guidelines, with Pella’s lifetime wood-window warranty
Pella Reserve, Traditional
Built for restorations and homes with history. Through-stile construction, precise proportions, and intricate profiles recreate the windows your home was designed around, then add the efficiency it never had.
- Historically accurate through-stile construction and profiles
- Custom grille patterns, wood species, paints, and stains
- Extra-tall, extra-wide, and uniquely shaped windows built to order
- ENERGY STAR® rated performance in every state
