As innovations
in the production of windows and doors continues to
move toward more sustainable practices, many
homeowners are becoming more environmentally
aware in making their purchasing decisions. That
fact is even more evident when considering replacement
windows, and when it comes to deciding to go green, wood windows can offer you the choice
to enjoy the perks of natural beauty from a renewable
resource.
Of course, that doesn’t mean
your decision is easier to make, but there are a
number of reasons why wood windows are the
preferred choice if you’re trying to find
an environmentally friendly and energy efficient choice.
Still need more convincing? Below are a few extras
you can expect when you decide on wood windows.
- Energy
efficiency — one of the more common desires
of homeowners is energy efficiency. After all, when you make an investment
in your home, you want to be certain that it’s going to
provide you as many bonuses as
possible. For example, purchasing wood windows means you can reap
the benefits of the natural thermal properties of wood so you know
your windows are always working to boost
your energy efficiency.
- Natural lighting — selecting
replacement windows that increase natural light in your home means you get
to reduce or remove the need for artificial lighting.
Not only does that make a more natural environment to
live in, it might help you save on your monthly energy expenses.
- Use of a
renewable resource — when you’re in the market
for replacement windows, it becomes pretty clear
that it’s hard to find a more environmentally
conscious material than wood. Due to the fact that
it’s a renewable resource, you can feel great making an investment in your
home that makes use of such an abundant resource.
- Environmental
stewardship — it’s well documented that Pella® is devoted
to environmental stewardship and has been since the company was established in 1925. Responsibility
to the environment is a part of the company’s foundation and continues to

to see the value that wood windows can provide from a
functional standpoint, but they also help you be a steward for responsible
environmental practices. If you want to get an up-close
