Lemieux Doors (from Catalog): Canadian Solar Energies Association bestowed upon Lemieux the 2005 “Solar Thermal Project of the Year” award. Innovative Finish- Lemieux Doors has invested millions perfecting a protective UV sealer system, which when applied immediately before the finishing coat, seals the wood, removing all traces of cracks or crevices in the joints and avoids accentuating brush strokes, knots and wood grain. The Tenon & Mortise Joint- Quality and Tradition- Lemieux Doors employs proven age-old mortise & tenon joints in its doors, assuring the highest quality construction. Furthermore the adhesive binding technique delivers exceptional strength and a lasting hold. The absence of dowels allows the doors to be custom-trimmed during installation without the risk of voiding the guarantee. Expansion- Resistant MDF Panels- Lemieux Doors incorporates Medium Density Fiber panels into the construction of all its doors. MDF is expansion resistant and inherently more stable, able to withstand the extremes of seasonal temperature variations, thus protecting against cracks and leaks. Wood choices- Birch, Cherry, Mahogany, Maple, Pine, Poplar, Oak, VG Douglas Fir Lemieux Doors offers over 94 types of glass, the widest selection offered by any door manufacturer. Exterior doors offer a choice of 2 glazing technologies: -Insulated glass- lowers heating bill, also will make home more comfortable by muffling exterior noise and reducing condensation -Low-E- High-quality reduced thermal emissivity glass cuts down on temperature variations, making efficient use of solar heat by reflecting it back in summer, and keeping it in during winter. Keeps it looking fresher, longer, by reducing the effects of UV radiation that dulls and fades the colors of your carpets and upholstery.
J.D. Power Associates ranked Pella best window brand for the third year in a row (survey has been conducted for three years).
-Very user friendly -All windows are Energy Star rated. Pella was the 2009 Energy Star Sustained Excellence reward recipient Energy Star recently lowered the required U factor. Most Pella windows already meet the requirement but the rest of them do with a special coating (only draw back is that it makes the glass slightly darker- good for summer, worse for winter) -Many different features customized to meet customer needs- ex. Many different locks -Replacement window- only the frame is slightly different
Designer- has the lines between the glass, this is a triple pained window- making it one of the most energy efficient windows in the industry…it requires no special coating Proline- More economical choice- it is less traditional looking than Architect series and has less features but is of the same quality -When asked what differentiates Pella from other leading window products (like Marvins, for example), Brian responded: -The number one priority of Pella’s is to provide excellent customer service. Other window brands are only available at lumber yards which don’t provide the service -The JD Power rating will captures how great of a product Pella creates -The high quality of Pella is undeniable. All Pella products are made to order- it has the quickest turn around in the industry. From Architect Series Catalog: “These low-maintenance EnduraClad exteriors don’t need painting; plus, they resist fading and chalking to stay looking great for years.” “Low maintenance EnduraClad exterior trim is also available….” “Pella’s Integral Light Technology grilles create the authentic look of true divided light combined with superior energy efficiency. These grilles are crafted with a high definition profile that seamlessly matches the finely detailed sash. Then they’re permanently bonded to the inside and outside of energy-efficient insulating glass. A nonglare spacer between the panes of glass gives the illusion of individual panes of glass better than metal spacers. Grilles are solid wood on the interior and wood or low-maintenance EnduraClad on the exterior. Removable interior wood grilles and grilles-between-the-glass are also available.” “In addition to Pella’s standard hardware collection, you can make a personal design statement with Rocky Mountain hardware- the finest- quality hardware to homeowners. Handcrafted for exceptional beauty and durability, each piece is cast in sold bronze and is available in a diverse palette of striking finishes, from rustic to contemporary.” Innovations and Convenience Features: -Self-closing screen door -Exclusive Pella Vivid View Screen -Easy-Clean Wash Features -Factory Prefinished -Surelock system with stainless steel operating hardware -Rolscreen Retractable Screen For the third year in a row, Pella ranks highest among consumers in overall satisfaction with windows and patio doors.
