• Vinyl Replacement Windows Vinyl double-hung windows are a low-maintenance, affordable, and energy-efficient window replacement option. Easy-care vinyl frames are available in a wide range of colors and don’t require painting, staining, or refinishing. Pella’s vinyl window sashes are fully welded for strength and durability and have virtually invisible seams.
• Wood Double-Hung Windows

  Double-hung windows made from wood and featuring a single pane of glass became the dominant window style at the end of the 17th century. Today, there are more options available for wood windows, and homeowners still love the beauty, exceptional energy efficiency, and traditional feel offered by this style of window.

• Black Double-Hung Windows

  Across the country, more and more homeowners, including those in Connecticut, are finding themselves drawn to black window frames. Black has long stood for elegance, and while a crisp black finish provides the striking contrast commonly associated with contemporary style, this color is no longer reserved for any one particular style of home. A black finish is available on Pella wood, fiberglass, and vinyl double-hung windows.

Connecticut Climate Recommendations

Connecticut’s moderate climate means the state experiences cold, snowy winters, hot, humid summers, and pleasant spring and fall months. Thanks to its proximity to the Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, the southern portion of the state experiences milder winter weather. Windows with Low-E insulating glass can help improve energy efficiency and keep your home’s internal temperature more comfortable year-round.

    Clean the window sill using the brush attachment on a vacuum and vacuum off any debris.

    It is normal for water to accumulate in the sill and track. On products with weep holes, the water is intended to drain to the outside via the drainage or "weep" holes.

    • To clean the weep (drainage) system, check to make sure that the weep holes are clear of obstruction (dirt, sand, or building materials).
    • To clean the weep holes, use a small, soft brush to clear the opening. Weep holes may be located both inside and outside the window in the bottom of the frame. If the window is "stacked," there may be weep holes between the units.

    WARNINGS:

    • Do not use abrasive or caustic solvents as they may damage your windows or patio doors.
    • Do not scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. 
    • Do not power-wash.
