  • Siteline® (wood and clad-wood windows)

Jeld-Wen and Pella Price Comparison

A Pella window is going to cost more overall, as they actually have some of the highest price points of all window manufacturers. This can change according to the type of window you choose to install, of course, as there are price ranges where the two brands overlap.  Both offer great insurance policies for the windows.

Pella vs. Jeld-Wen Vinyl Windows

Jeld-Wen is one of the best window manufacturers, especially when it comes to offering a staggering value for the quality of their products. Modern, affordable luxury is one of their most prominent calling cards, and it shows in their vinyl window lines. Jeld-Wen boasts one of the highest ranges of customizability, style options, and designs on the market.

Pella is a formidable opponent for vinyl windows, and looking at their products, it’s easy to tell why. Options like double- and triple-paned windows add considerable energy efficiency, while SmoothSeam™ welded corners offer a near-invisible install that blends seamlessly with your home design.

Which is the Better Option?

Both of these companies offer world-class products that are used by homeowners, business owners, and contractors. Both offer a great range of products, including Energy Star® qualified, energy-efficient products, and both provide custom window options in order to meet unique or niche needs.

The best answer is always this: Work with an experienced, knowledgeable window contractor to help you explore your options and make the right call!
