Detroit Fiberglass Windows

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Bay Windows

  A bay window is a notable feature of hundreds of historic Victorian homes around greater Detroit. This style can also be found in many other home styles, both traditional and contemporary, to add architectural interest. A bay window is actually a combination of three windows joined at an angle. The angled combination extends out of your wall to open up space in your room. The unique design of a bay window provides maximum sunlight and ventilation.

• ENERGY STAR® Windows ENERGY STAR certified products are independently verified to provide superior energy efficiency. Pella fiberglass windows can be customized to exceed the ENERGY STAR guidelines in Michigan. Fiberglass already has the insulating qualities of wood to help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Foam-insulated frames and double- or triple-pane glass can make your windows even more energy-efficient.  
• Modern Style

  Double or triple glass glazing, more commonly known as double- or triple-pane windows, can drastically improve energy efficiency. In multi-pane windows, a gap in between two or more panes of glass is filled with an inert gas, like argon, which helps reduce heat flow. In addition to insulation, the additional layers of glass on double- and triple-pane windows can also help reduce outside noise.

• Art Deco Design

  Detroit’s skyline and downtown buildings are famous for their Art Deco architecture. Many homeowners take inspiration from the metro architecture to create unique styles in their own homes. Art Deco is a bold style defined by its use of vertical lines, repetitive geometric shapes, shiny metallic accents, graphic patterns and sleek textures. Fiberglass windows in bold colors like black and used in combinations that create abnormal shapes, sizes or curves stand out in a home already decked out with Art Deco interior design elements.
