Pella's Architect Series
This series is reserved for single-hung, double-hung, casement, and awning windows. The window material used for this product line is wood, which is the highest rated material for home insulation and authentic beauty. The Architect Series is characterized with a level of detail oriented design that is rare in the industry. The craftsmanship is evident in the finishes that are applied to the window and hardware by hand. The wood interiors include red oak, white oak, pine, cherry, maple, douglas fir, mahogany, and alder. The wood is applied with Pella's very own EnduraGuard that protects it against moisture, mold, and termites.

Stylish and tasteful: The stylish look of the 250 Series windows is a product of the care and attention given during the design stages of these windows. The double-hung or single-hung windows, for instance, don't show the interior sash corners, giving them a neater overall appearance than most vinyl windows on the market.
