Pella installation method enhances energy with less expense, effort - PELLA, Iowa, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Replacing windows or doors with more energy-efficient options often meant you had to also tear out and shell out more money to replace exterior siding. Even though you might have only replaced a few windows or doors, you often had to replace all of the structure's exterior siding to maintain a color match to avoid your home or business looking like a patchwork quilt. Now you can enhance energy efficiency and retain your existing siding, plus more of your hardearned money, thanks to an innovative new method for installing Pella replacement windows and doors. Pella Corporation Installation Engineer Tim Heitkamp said Pella's new method saves time, money and maintains the looks of the structure. "Pella's new low profile replacement installation process is low-impact to the home or business, since you don't have to cut back or replace siding as you're installing new Pella windows and doors. That way you can replace all the windows and doors or once or as many at a time as your budget allows, and the exterior of your home still matches, instead of looking like a series of patches," he said. So what's the difference in Pella's low profile process? In traditional construction replacement methods, exterior siding or trim has to first be cut back or removed. Then installers tear out the old window with nailing fin and install a new window or door with nailing fin, which holds the new window or door in place as the unit is installed. Once that's completed, siding, J-channel, or trim has to be reapplied or replaced.
