Overview

About the Encompass + 250/150 Vinyl Stack

The Encompass stack is Pella's vinyl value tier, three lines that share a job: volume non-HVHZ residential. Encompass is the mid-tier vinyl, the 250 Series steps up to premium vinyl with a multi-slide patio door family, and the 150 Series is Lowe's-exclusive stock vinyl. Together they handle the bulk of Pella's everyday Florida replacement and new-construction work where a homeowner does not specifically need impact glazing.

Armor Pro treats the vinyl stack as the budget Pella option for inland and non-HVHZ addresses. None of the three is an HVHZ impact line, so for any project inside Miami-Dade or Broward, or any opening that needs a Notice of Acceptance, the Pella answer is HurricaneShield. The vinyl stack is for the non-impact replacement where price and the Pella name are what the project wants.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Pella vinyl stack, Encompass, the 250 Series, and the Lowe's-exclusive 150 Series, are all non-impact and carry no Miami-Dade NOA, so they can't be installed in coastal wind-borne-debris zones without a separate hurricane solution. Pella's impact vinyl is a different line, HurricaneShield. We use the Encompass stack only on inland and non-HVHZ replacement work where the building code does not require impact glazing.

They're a vinyl price ladder for non-impact work. Encompass is the mid-tier value line, the 250 Series steps up to premium vinyl with the widest style menu including a multi-slide patio door family, and the 150 Series is an entry stock line sold exclusively through Lowe's. All three share the same non-impact role; the differences are in glass packages, color options, and the range of styles. We match the tier to your budget and how many configurations the project needs.

It depends on the tier: the 250 Series is the only one with the full menu, covering casement, single-hung, double-hung, sliding, fixed, and the multi-slide patio door, while Encompass covers single-hung, double-hung, sliding, fixed, and a sliding patio door, and the 150 Series sticks to the common stock shapes. To see how vinyl styles look together on your home, you can use our Window and Door Designer and Visualizer.

Only when the address doesn't require impact glass. For an inland or non-HVHZ Florida home where the homeowner wants energy-efficient vinyl replacement, the Pella name, and a lower price, the Encompass stack is a reasonable fit. The moment a project is inside Miami-Dade or Broward, or any opening needs a Notice of Acceptance, we move it to HurricaneShield. We'll be clear about whether your address can use non-impact vinyl at all before quoting it.
