Consumer Reports: Pella® Ranked as Best Replacement Windows

Finding the best replacement windows for your home matters more than most people think. Energy costs, comfort, and home value all depend on getting it right. That’s why many homeowners in Texas are choosing Pella®—and why we stand behind them here at Statewide Energy Solutions.

According to a recent Consumer Reports review, Pella® windows ranked among the best replacement windows available today. Let’s break down what makes Pella stand out and how our team can help you make the right choice for your home.


Why Consumer Reports Ranked Pella® Among the Best Replacement Windows

Consumer Reports tested dozens of windows across different styles and materials. Their testing focused on important things like energy savings, weather resistance, and overall durability. Pella came out on top in several categories.

Here’s a quick look at the three window types that made the biggest impact:


1. Pella® 350 Series – Top-of-the-Line Vinyl Option

The 350 Series is Pella’s premium vinyl replacement window, and Consumer Reports gave it high marks for wind and rain resistance.

Key Benefits:

  • Triple-Pane Glass: These windows use three layers of glass instead of one or two. That helps block heat in the summer and cold in the winter.

  • 18 Insulating Chambers: Built into the frame, these chambers trap air to reduce heat loss.

  • SmoothSeam™ Corners: Gives the window a clean, attractive look with fewer joints that collect dirt or moisture.

  • DuraColor™ Finishes: Protects the window’s exterior color from fading over time.

The 350 Series can help cut energy use by up to 83% compared to older single-pane windows. That means lower energy bills and better indoor comfort year-round.


2. Pella® Impervia® – Strong Composite Frames

Looking for windows that last longer and resist damage better than most? Pella Impervia uses a fiberglass-based frame that’s built to take a beating.

What Makes It Special:

  • Duracast® Material: A five-layer fiberglass composite that handles hot and cold weather without warping or cracking.

  • Long Lifespan: These frames don’t rot or swell. They’re also resistant to dents and scratches.

  • Low Maintenance: No need for regular painting or sealing.

  • Rain Resistance: Consumer Reports gave this model an excellent score in tests involving heavy rainfall and wind.

Impervia windows are a solid pick for homeowners in areas like The Colony or Flower Mound where weather conditions can shift fast and often.


3. Pella® Lifestyle Series – Classic Wood Frame, Modern Performance

For those who prefer the warm look of real wood, the Lifestyle Series delivers comfort without giving up durability.

Features Homeowners Love:

  • Energy Star Certified Nationwide: These windows meet strict guidelines for every state, helping you save on energy bills wherever you live.

  • Moisture Protection: The wood is treated to stand up to rain, humidity, and changing seasons.

  • Strong Wind Ratings: Consumer Reports said these wood windows did “exceptionally well” under wind pressure tests.

We often install the Lifestyle Series in historic homes or houses that need a touch of classic charm. Yet the performance is just as good as more modern-looking designs.


Why Pella® Stands Out in the Window Market

Here’s why more and more homeowners ask for Pella by name when they’re ready for a window upgrade:
