When the Dallas-Fort Worth summer hits, your home’s ability to stay cool is put to the ultimate test. While your air conditioner works hard to keep temperatures down, it’s your windows that are on the front line of defense against the scorching sun. If your home feels hot and your energy bills are soaring, your windows may be letting you down.
At WinPro, we’ve spent the past 25 years helping homeowners fortify their homes against the North Texas heat. Trust us when we tell you—we’ve seen it all—and through our experience, we’ve found a partner that shares our commitment to quality and performance: Pella® Windows & Doors.
Here at WinPro Doors & Windows, we exclusively install Pella Windows for many reasons, several of which we’ve outlined below. Notably, Pella has engineered products uniquely suited to handle the demands of our region.
Let’s take a closer look at the advanced technology that makes Pella a superior choice for your DFW home.
Advanced Frame Materials: A Barrier, Not a Conductor
Your window’s frame is the foundation of its performance. Older windows with metal or aluminum frames are excellent conductors of heat. That means they act like a thermal bridge, drawing scorching heat from the outside directly into your home.
That’s exactly what we don’t want.
Pella’s frames are different. They utilize advanced materials like their proprietary fiberglass, which is tested to withstand extreme heat and cold, and a multi-chambered vinyl design. These materials are naturally poor conductors of heat, meaning they keep the hot air where it belongs—outside. This creates a more air-tight seal and helps maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature inside, reducing the workload on your HVAC system.
Advanced Low-E Coatings for Superior Solar Control
Think of a Pella window’s glass as a high-tech shield. It’s not just a single sheet of glass; it’s a carefully engineered system with multiple layers. The key is the invisible, microscopically thin Low-E, or low-emissivity, coating.
Pella offers a range of Low-E glass options, including their SunDefense™ Low-E Insulating Glass, which is ideal for our hot, sunny climate here in North Texas. This coating is designed to reflect a high percentage of the sun’s infrared light (the heat you feel) and block a massive amount of harmful UV rays. This doesn’t just keep your home cooler; it also protects your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading and damage caused by sun exposure. It’s like a high-performance sunscreen for your home, allowing natural light to stream in while keeping the damaging effects of the sun out.
Dual- and Triple-Pane Glass for Insulation and Quiet
While single-pane windows offer virtually no insulation, Pella’s dual- and triple-pane glass options create a powerful thermal barrier. These windows feature multiple panes of glass with a sealed space between them, often filled with insulating argon gas. This gas is denser than air and significantly reduces heat transfer.
The result? The heat stays outside and the comfortable, conditioned air stays inside. An added bonus of this multi-pane construction is superior sound deadening. If you live near a busy street, a playground, or an airport, you’ll be amazed at how much quieter your home becomes. We call it reducing “noise pollution,” and it’s a benefit that homeowners truly appreciate.
Customizable Glass for Directional Exposure
Did you know you can “solar tune” your windows? At WinPro, we love this customizable Pella feature because it allows us to optimize the performance of each window based on its specific location in your home.
Windows facing south and west in the DFW area take the brunt of the direct sunlight throughout the day. For these exposures, we can recommend Pella’s SunDefense™ Low-E glass, which is designed to minimize solar heat gain. For windows facing north or those in shaded areas, a different Low-E coating might be a better fit to maximize natural light without sacrificing efficiency. This level of customization ensures that every window in your home is working as hard as possible to keep your home cool and your bills low.
The True Value of a Pella Window: Performance Through Precision Installation
Choosing a Pella window is an investment in your home’s comfort, efficiency, and value. But the best window on the market can’t live up to its full potential without flawless installation. This is where WinPro’s 25 years of experience truly shines.
We believe the key to a window that performs for decades is the attention to detail during the installation process. Our team’s expertise ensures a perfect fit, a weathertight seal, and a finish that you can be proud of—we certainly are.
When you combine Pella’s cutting-edge engineering with WinPro’s precision installation, you get a system that doesn’t just look great—it delivers unmatched energy savings and protection against the Texas heat for years to come.
