Project Details

Nestled along the Coan River in Heathsville, this home had rotting wood windows and foggy glass that obstructed the beautiful river view. The homeowners enlisted our help to address issues of decaying wood and seal failures through expert installation. Our team recommended Pella Lifestyle Series windows for their outstanding performance and ability to withstand the harsh climate near the water.

Wood Windows Offer Exceptional Durability for Heathsville Home

Pella Lifestyle Series windows offer these homeowners a perfect blend of timeless design and durable functionality, providing strong defense against harsh local weather conditions. Our team installed wood windows featuring our EnduraGuard® wood protection. This advanced defense system shields the wood from rotting, damage and discoloration caused by mold and mildew, common in this riverside environment. Also, our EnduraClad® aluminum exterior provides additional protection to safeguard from the elements, ensuring lasting beauty for years to come.

Picture Window Eliminates Draftiness in Virginia River Home

Our team recommended replacing the original drafty windows with a large picture window and two casement windows — ensuring a seamless view of the breathtaking scenery. This strategic window replacement not only floods the room with natural light but also reduces the need for artificial lighting. The picture window offers a clear view of the river. Now, the homeowners can enjoy their picturesque sights without any obstruction, thanks to the window’s expansive glass panel.

Casement Windows Use Simplified Design Improving Ventilation

Designed with one simple sash, the casement windows enhance air flow within the home. During the summertime, these homeowners enjoy a natural breeze with the turn of a crank. The easy-to-operate maneuver ensures the home is well-ventilated with fresh air. In the wintertime, the design provides a tight seal against the window frame, effectively preventing unwanted drafts and keeping the home warm air inside.

In this Virginia home, the casement windows were thoughtfully placed next to the picture window to complement the stunning backyard. Properly installed, these windows resolved the initial problem of foggy glass, ensuring no more obstructed views. When you’re fortunate enough to have scenery like this in your backyard, well-placed windows frame the landscape as if it’s a piece of artwork.

This window replacement not only solves durability and installation concerns, but it also provides clear sightlines to the river. These Virginia residents now have the chance to enjoy their beloved views any time of year.
