Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Pella 150 Series is a non-impact, entry-tier vinyl line, so it is not rated for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone openings in Miami-Dade or Broward. It is best suited to budget residential replacement work in non-HVHZ parts of Florida. If you need impact protection, we can point you to a Pella impact line and confirm the right HVHZ-approved product at your free estimate.

The 150 Series single-hung tops out at 48 x 71.5 inches, with a minimum size of 14.5 x 23.5 inches, so it covers most standard residential openings. The single-hung and the fixed-frame/shapes units carry a design pressure of +50/-50 psf, while the sliding window is rated +35/-35 psf. We measure each opening and confirm the size and DP rating that fit your project at the quote.

Across its glass packages the 150 Series runs a U-factor from 0.21 to 0.49 and an SHGC from 0.2 to 0.69. For South Florida sun, the 3/4-inch SunDefense Low-E with argon is the strongest solar control choice at U 0.29 and SHGC 0.21, while Advanced Low-E with argon comes in at U 0.30 and SHGC 0.28. We'll help you match the glass package to your home's orientation and budget.

The 150 Series vinyl frame is offered in White as standard, plus Almond and Fossil. Grids are Grilles-Between-the-Glass in Traditional, Prairie, and Top Row patterns, and hardware is color-matched to the frame. It also includes a standard fiberglass mesh screen, and we'll confirm the available finish and grid combinations for your order.

The 150 Series is Pella's stock vinyl line distributed exclusively through Lowe's home centers, sized for budget residential replacement projects. As an installer, Armor Pro can specify and professionally install the 150 Series for the right project rather than leaving it as a DIY purchase. We'll confirm the exact configuration and specs that fit your opening when we quote it.

Installed pricing on the 150 Series depends on the size, the glass package you choose, and the condition of each opening, so there is no flat per-window price. As an entry-tier vinyl line it is one of Pella's more budget-friendly options for non-HVHZ work. Armor Pro provides a free, in-person estimate so you get an accurate number for your specific project.

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.

Pella Corporation is a family-owned national manufacturer headquartered in Pella, Iowa, founded in 1925 and now spanning more than 20 plants across the country. For the Florida hurricane market the important detail is that Pella's impact lines, HurricaneShield and Defender, are built in Ocala, Florida by Pella's CWS subsidiary, so the storm products are made in-state rather than shipped in. We install and service Pella across South Florida and handle the order, permit, and installation regardless of which plant a given product comes from.
