Environmentally Friendly Windows – Making Life Better

Pella Corporation is the leading manufacturer of environmentally friendly windows. Over the years, Pella has created innovative window solutions for the environmentally friendly people.

Today an environmentally friendly window contributes to the healthy living of a family. Pella being the leading manufacturer of environmentally friendly and safe wooden windows uses wood from suppliers trained by institutions that support responsible forestry management. When it comes to recycling of windows, Pella recycles nearly 99% of the sawdust created during manufacture of these environmentally safe windows. It also recycles other materials like solvents, oil and batteries used in these environmentally safe windows. Nearly 95% of the windows have claddings that are made from recycled aluminum. Broken glass is used up in the reflective coatings of these environmentally safe windows for the highways and the surplus screens are used in making archery targets.

A variety of Pella's window collections have earned U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Star designation for their exceptional energy efficiency. Pella uses high-efficiency products in its environmentally safe window manufacture and helps in reducing energy usage. The glasses used in these environmentally safe windows are filled with argon, which prevents transfer of heat. The optional Low emissive glass coatings used in these windows also reduce heat transfer and block UV rays from fading the interior furnishings. Pella's environmentally friendly products and services have helped buildings achieve the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating.

Pella's Architect Series, the Designer Series and the ProLine windows are classic examples of windows that are environmentally friendly. More than 20%-recycled materials are used in the manufacture of these windows. A public library built in Ohio demonstrates Pella's competency quite well. The environmentally safe windows of this library are made of 95 percent recycled aluminum and 20 percent recycled glass.
