Consumer Reports named Pella ProLine 450 Series double-hung windows as a “Best Buy” in its 2014 review of windows for the home. In addition, Consumer Reports awarded Pella ProLine 450 Series casement windows and ThermaStar by Pella casement windows “Recommended” ratings.
In its October 2014 issue, the publication cites “Best Buy” selections as those that blend performance and value and says, “All are recommended.”
“This recognition by Consumer Reports affirms the quality that goes into Pella windows,” said Pella Vice President of Marketing Elaine Sagers. “Earning the ‘Best Buy’ recognition is a tribute to our team’s dedication to quality, innovation, and creating better views for our customers.”
