 Ever visit a showroom that allows you to slam the doors? Or take apart the windows? At Pella Architectural Products Inc.’s Sand Island showroom, these are everyday occurrences—and the sales team wouldn’t have it any other way.

Pella’s wide selection of full-scale windows and doors can be “test driven” so customers truly understand how they’ll work at home. The staff encourages clients to open and close a classic double-hung window, step through a patio door or quickly change the blinds in Pella’s famous between-the-glass windows. Think of the showroom as a playground for finding the perfect doors, windows and window treatments for any project, big or small.

With more than 75 years in the business, the Pella Corp. has built a legendary reputation for making some of the best windows and doors available. Locally, Pella Architectural Products Inc. is going strong, with plenty of Island-appropriate options.

Enter Pella’s Impervia line of windows and doors. Made of fiberglass composite, Impervia is made to be practically impervious to all weather conditions, including extreme heat, UV rays and salty air. With similar benefits to alternative materials such as vinyl—which Pella also offers—the Impervia series “is by far the strongest,” says Jana Goo, trade sales representative. She should know. Goo and the rest of the local Pella team were invited to Pella’s Mainland factory to contribute their input during the process of creating and refining the Impervia line. The result is a highly energy-efficient window, nine times stronger than vinyl, and available in colors that resemble painted wood (but never require painting). “If Pella can get a window to perform well in Hawaii, it can perform well anywhere,” Goo explains.

Pella’s energy efficiency is no accident, either. The company has long committed itself to environmental responsibility. In fact, Pella was named the 2007 Energy Star Partner of the Year. One of Pella’s most popular options, the Designer Series, features triple-pane glass and is the most energy-efficient window on the market today.
Visit the showroom and you’re guaranteed lots of face time with a sales representative. Goo and staff commit personal attention to every project and will answer “any question that’s keeping you up at night.”
