Pella 250 Series Vinyl

The 250 Series sliding window scales up to a generous 120 x 95.5 inches, with a minimum of 21.5 x 11.5 inches, making it one of the largest openings in the vinyl stack. Fixed casements go up to 71.5 x 71.5 inches and vent casements up to 35.5 x 71.5 inches. Sliding and casement units carry a +35/-35 psf design pressure, and we confirm size and DP for each opening when we measure.

Yes. The 250 Series includes a dedicated multi-slide patio door family built for indoor-outdoor lifestyle openings, rated at +30/-30 psf design pressure. Because it is part of the non-impact vinyl tier, it suits non-HVHZ residential and light commercial projects. We'll spec the right panel configuration for your opening and confirm the rating at quote.

The 250 Series glass range runs from a U-factor of 0.18 to 0.32 and an SHGC of 0.17 to 0.53. For South Florida heat, the 3/4-inch SunDefense+ Low-E with argon is the top solar-control option at U 0.23 and SHGC 0.18, and the standard SunDefense Low-E hits an SHGC of 0.19. Triple-pane is also available as an upgrade, and we'll match the glass to your home's exposure and budget.

The 250 Series comes standard as White interior with White exterior, with two-tone options of White interior with a Brown exterior or a Black exterior. Grids are Grilles-Between-the-Glass in Traditional, Prairie, Top Row, and Custom Equally Divided patterns, with color-matched hardware and a standard InView flat screen. We'll confirm the finish and grid combinations available for your configuration.

Installed pricing on the 250 Series depends on the unit size, the glass package, whether you add the multi-slide patio door, and the condition of each opening, so there's no flat rate. As Pella's premium vinyl tier it sits above the 150 and Encompass lines on price but offers stronger energy numbers and larger sizes. Armor Pro provides a free, in-person estimate so you get an accurate figure for your 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.
