Windows and Doors Built for Seattle Weather

Windows and doors built for Seattle weather can make a difference in how comfortable and energy efficient your Western Washington home feels throughout the year. The Seattle-Tacoma area experiences plenty of rain, moisture, wind and changing temperatures, so your windows and doors need to be built to handle the local climate. Pella offers high-quality products designed to perform in the Pacific Northwest.

Seattle Weather Brings Rain and Changing Temperatures

Seattle is known for its wet weather, especially from fall through winter. The Seattle-Tacoma area averages about 34 inches of precipitation each year, with November and December among the wettest months. Winter temperatures are generally cool, with average highs in the 40s, while summer brings warmer and sunnier weather. July and August typically see average highs in the mid-70s, with much less rainfall.

That combination of moisture, cooler temperatures and summer sun means homeowners need windows and doors that can perform in a variety of conditions.

What Weather Can Do to Windows, Doors and Energy Efficiency

Older or poorly performing windows and doors can let drafts and moisture into your home. Air leaks can make rooms feel uncomfortable and may cause your heating and cooling system to work harder. Over time, exposure to moisture can create problems for materials that aren’t properly protected.

We design our windows and doors with features that help protect against the elements. Tight weatherstripping helps reduce air leaks and keep water out, while insulated glass helps reduce heat transfer. We partner with ENERGY STAR to guarantee you have the best designs and quality windows that will lower your energy bills. Pella also offers Low-E glass and triple-pane options that can improve energy efficiency and help maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature.

Material selection matters, too. Our wood, fiberglass and vinyl options are designed for durability and weather performance. Fiberglass products are engineered to resist expanding, contracting and becoming brittle during temperature changes, making them a strong home improvement option for Western Washington homes.
