Black Fiberglass Windows Modernize Great Barrington Home

Replacement windows add a modern touch and lasting strength in Massachusetts.

Project Details

Great Barrington, Massachusetts is a small town known for its picturesque seasons. With a population of around 7,000 people, the area is also known for its tightly knit community. As people who live and work in the area, our team at Pella Western Massachusetts made the ideal partner to help replace the old, damaged windows on this home. To satisfy the homeowners' needs for modern curb appeal and lasting strength, we recommended black fiberglass windows.

Rectangle Windows Replace Arch Top

Since the home was built in the 1950s, the original windows were showing signs that they needed to be replaced. The homeowners enlisted help from our team to complete a window replacement, updating the exterior facade. The original arch window was very traditional and worked well during its prime. While upgrading their windows, the homeowners wanted to modernize their home’s curb appeal. They decided rectangular windows better aligned with their contemporary vision and that clean, straight lines adhered to the modern style they were looking for.

We used a mix of window types to achieve the new configuration. Picture windows were placed above the venting double-hung windows to increase the amount of natural light. The two double-hung windows, which are mulled together, have sashes that open from the top and bottom for better air circulation. By enhancing ventilation, these homeowners can rest assured that they will be comfortable throughout the changing Northeastern seasons.

Black Windows Modernize Curb Appeal

In addition to the changes in shape, the homeowners also opted to replace the bright teal color of their windows. We suggested using black windows that would blend well with the dark exterior, creating a sophisticated monotone look.

Black is also a low maintence solution that will show less signs of everyday wear and tear. To preserve charm, window grilles offer a nod to the traditional design of the home. The symmetrical lines help to break up the large window panes. Out with the old and in with the new — black windows were the perfect addition to this home, combining modern flair and traditional style.

Fiberglass Windows Boast Durability Against Northeastern Weather

The homeowners wanted a solution that would remain in good condition during the harsh Massachusetts winters and summers. Our team suggested Pella® Impervia® windows, made of our proprietary fiberglass that is tested to withstand some of the harshest conditions, including extreme heat and sub-zero cold.9 The homeowners are grateful their new windows that will not rot, corrode and warp.

With changes in both the shape and color of the windows, the homeowners couldn't believe the impact the new window designs had on their curb appeal. After the installation, they were also excited about the overall quality and lack of maintenance needed. Our fiberglass windows are built to withstand many more seasons of Massachusetts weather. We are confident that these windows will provide the homeowners with hassle-free enjoyment for years to come.
