Pella Lifestyle Single Hung

The Lifestyle Single Hung is offered in a vent (operating) configuration from 21 by 35 inches up to 48 by 84 inches, and a fixed configuration from 21 by 14 inches up to 59 by 73 inches. That range covers everything from small bathroom openings to tall main-living-area windows. We'll measure your openings and confirm the available sizes when we quote.

Both the vent and fixed configurations of the Lifestyle Single Hung carry a +50/-50 psf design pressure rating. Design pressure reflects the wind load the window can withstand and is a separate measure from impact resistance, which this window does not have. We'll confirm the DP rating matches your opening's wind-load requirement at the time of quote.

No. The Lifestyle Single Hung is a non-impact window and is Florida Product Approval listed (FL12448) only for residential installations outside the Miami-Dade and Broward HVHZ. If your home is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, we'd direct you to a Pella impact line; within the Lifestyle Series only the Double Hung has a separate impact-resistant configuration, and that's for non-HVHZ projects that still need impact glass.

The Lifestyle Single Hung is rated at 0.07 cfm/ft² for air infiltration, a tight number that helps cut drafts and keep conditioned air inside. Low air infiltration matters in South Florida's heat and humidity because it eases the load on your cooling system. The performance depends on a proper install, so we set and seal the frame correctly to the opening.

There's no flat price for a Lifestyle Single Hung because the installed cost depends on the size of the opening, whether it's a vent or fixed unit, the glass package you choose, and the condition of the existing opening. Replacing several windows at once usually changes the per-window cost as well. Armor Pro gives a free, no-obligation estimate; we'll measure your openings and price the windows for your project.

No. Lifestyle is Florida Product Approval listed for non-HVHZ residential and light-commercial work, but it does not carry the Miami-Dade NOA required inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. For a Miami-Dade or Broward project we move to HurricaneShield (vinyl) or Reserve Impact (clad-wood). Lifestyle is the right Pella line for inland and non-HVHZ addresses across most of the rest of the state.

Mostly not. Lifestyle is a non-impact clad-wood line, with one narrow exception: the Double-Hung is offered in a separate Impact-Resistant configuration (FL #20349) for projects outside the HVHZ that need impact glazing. Every other style in the line is standard non-impact glass. If your project needs impact protection across the board, we'd usually spec a true impact line rather than rely on the single Lifestyle impact option.

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.
