Valdicass Inc. installs Pella® wood windows in North Riverside, Illinois, including options from Pella Reserve™and Pella® Lifestyle Series.
Whether you’re replacing original wood windows, renovating an older home, or simply prefer the look of real wood on the interior, our team can help you choose a Pella product, window style, finish, glass package, and installation method that fits your home.
Pella Wood Windows
Pella offers wood window collections designed for different architectural and project needs.
Pella Reserve™
Pella Reserve is an excellent option for projects where architectural character and design details matter most.
Depending on the product and configuration selected, Reserve windows offer choices for profiles, finishes, grille patterns, hardware, and other architectural details.
This makes Reserve particularly relevant when replacing windows in traditional or architecturally distinctive homes where maintaining the property’s character is an important consideration.
Pella® Lifestyle Series
Pella Lifestyle Series provides another wood-window option with real wood interiors and exterior protection.
The Lifestyle Series offers a variety of window styles, finishes, glass options, grilles, hardware, and performance choices, depending on the selected configuration.
It can be a strong option for homeowners who want the appearance of wood while balancing design, performance, and project budget.
Why Choose Wood Windows?
One of the primary reasons homeowners choose wood is its appearance.
Real wood creates an interior character that is difficult to duplicate with other frame materials and can coordinate naturally with hardwood flooring, cabinetry, trim, millwork, and other architectural details.
Wood also offers extensive customization options.
Depending on the Pella product selected, homeowners may be able to choose from different interior finishes, exterior colors, grille patterns, hardware, glass, and other design features.
Wood Windows for Traditional & Updated Homes
Wood windows aren’t limited to one architectural style.
In a traditional home, they can help preserve the character of existing trim and architectural details.
In a remodeled or updated home, wood windows can add a warmer interior element while letting homeowners choose exterior finishes that coordinate with siding, masonry, roofing, and other exterior materials.
The objective isn’t simply to install a new window. It’s to select a window that fits the house.
Wood Window Styles
Depending on the Pella collection and configuration selected, wood windows may be available in styles such as:
- Double-hung
- Casement
- Awning
- Picture
- Bay
- Bow
- Specialty and architectural shapes
- Fixed and operating window combinations
You can use different styles throughout the home based on ventilation, views, natural light, operation, and architectural appearance.

Energy-Efficient Wood Windows
Choosing wood doesn’t mean giving up modern window performance.
Pella wood windows are available with insulating glass and Low-E glass options, depending on the product and configuration selected.
Glass selection, frame construction, weatherstripping, insulation, perimeter sealing, and professional installation all contribute to the performance of the completed window opening.
Rather than promising a specific reduction in energy bills, Valdicass helps homeowners evaluate the available options based on their home and project goals.
Wood vs. Fiberglass Windows
Homeowners comparing Pella wood windows with Pella Impervia® fiberglass windows should consider more than durability alone.
Wood provides a real-wood interior and extensive architectural possibilities.
Fiberglass offers durable, relatively low-maintenance construction and a different aesthetic.
The right choice depends on the home, desired interior appearance, window configuration, maintenance preferences, and budget.
Wood vs. Vinyl Windows
Pella vinyl windows, including the Pella® 250 Series, provide another low-maintenance replacement option.
For homeowners prioritizing real wood interiors and architectural customization, Reserve or Lifestyle Series may be a better fit.
For projects where lower maintenance and value are higher priorities, vinyl may make more sense.

Full-Frame Replacement for Wood Windows
The installation method matters, especially when replacing older wood windows.
Some projects may be appropriate for pocket replacement, where portions of the existing frame remain.
Others benefit from full-frame replacement, which removes the existing window more completely and provides greater access to the underlying opening.
This can be especially valuable when existing frames or surrounding components have deteriorated or when homeowners want to replace trim and other elements associated with the original window.
Valdicass evaluates existing conditions before recommending an installation method.
