Vinyl Windows Retain Colonial Style in Suffolk Home

Suffolk, a town with over 400 years of history, pays tribute to its rich heritage by preserving its colonial architecture. These residents were seeking to replace their original windows and called upon the expertise of Pella Virginia. Our team suggested 250 Series single- and double-hung vinyl windows, maintaining the defining features of colonial style architecture.

To maintain the timeless elegance of colonial windows on a budget, our team installed white vinyl windows. These products provide homeowners with high-quality windows at a cost-friendly price point, without sacrificing performance or style. The white windows replicate the look of divided panes of glass with traditional grille patterns and simple lines. Staying true to colonial architecture, we matched the grilles to the frames, complementing the home’s neutral exterior colors — black shutters and taupe siding.

The homeowners wanted to be cost effective, leading them to select single-hung windows on the front exterior while adding double-hung windows only in the sunroom. With one moveable sash, single-hung windows are a more affordable option for a whole home window replacement. Whereas double-hung windows have a higher price due to their two movable sashes which enhance ventilation. The added benefits in the sunroom made this financial investment worthwhile for the homeowners. They look forward to their well-ventilated sunroom during the hot, humid Suffolk summers.

As the industry's first and only tucked away screen for vinyl windows, the new Hidden Screen is the perfect addition to this Suffolk sunroom. Strategically positioned within the double-hung windows, this window feature ensures that only fresh air enters the room, keeping out unwanted debris and bugs. The screen appears only when the windows are open and folds away out of sight when the windows are closed. This allows the homeowners to enjoy an unobstructed backyard view, unlike traditional window screens which are installed over the glass.

When selecting sunroom windows, it’s crucial to consider the usable space within the room. With this in mind, our experts recommended double-hung windows, which require no additional space to operate. This allows them to be placed anywhere in the sunroom, giving the homeowners the flexibility to arrange their furniture without worrying about it interfering with window operation.

These sunroom windows enhance the flow of fresh air and natural sunlight into the space. The double-hung window design allows for both the top and bottom sashes to ventilate the room throughout the year. With the help of large openings, a breeze flows into the room without compromising the backyard view. After the installation, these Virginia homeowners are thrilled they were able to find creative solutions to save them money on their replacement windows. They love their vinyl single- and double-hung windows that honor the colonial style and enhance functionality in the sunroom.
