Optimal Options

One size, or color, does not fit all. And there’s an incredible selection of hardware and finishes to meet nearly anyone’s style whether they’re looking to match or contrast.

“Coordinating window and door hardware with other fixtures and furnishings in the home is another hot trend,” says Krafka Harkema. “For example, satin-nickel or oil-rubbed bronze hardware on windows and doors can coordinate with light fixtures, faucets and other features in a home.”

Pella introduced a new collection of colors on the ProLine Series of wood windows. In addition to white, tan, or brown, new exterior colors for this year include Hartford Green, Brick Red, Black, Putty, and Poplar White. ProLine also features simulated-divided-light permanent grilles on all window styles.

With the rollout of its new line of vinyl windows, PGT Series 2100 offers the profile of wood with the durability of vinyl. Options include contoured grid patterns, simulated divided lite, glass tints and trim finishes.

Simonton Windows offers a new driftwood color for its vinyl windows and sliding patio doors in the company’s replacement product lines. The new color complements the existing options of white and tan.
