Window Considerations for Chicago's Climate
Our windows are equipped with many features to help deliver energy efficiency to your home in any climate. At Pella, we are proud of the strength and durability of our windows; some of our windows can even handle hurricane-force winds and withstand impact from debris. Considering Chicago’s cold winters and hot summers, you’ll want windows built with materials that can withstand the elements of both.
No matter where you live, Pella has the right glass options to best suit your climate. Whether you’re looking to keep your home safer or add greater energy efficiency, upgrading your windows can help.

In the summer, you can keep your home comfortable — and protected from the heat — with Low-E insulating glass that will also help keep energy costs down.

During freezing winters, you’ll want to make sure your windows have insulated glass to help keep the extreme temperatures outside where they belong and protect your home from harmful UV rays.
