Manufacturer

What is Pella?

Pella Corporation is an Iowa-based family-owned window manufacturer with the widest product range in residential windows — from entry vinyl through architect-grade wood. Pella's between-the-glass blinds option is unique in the industry and especially popular in the Twin Cities for sun-facing and lake-view exposures.

Pella-exclusive feature

Between-the-glass Slimshade blinds

Pella's Slimshade blinds sit inside the insulated glass unit — magnetically operated from inside your home. No dusting, no broken slats, no kids tangling the cords. Available on Lifestyle, Architect Series, and Reserve. The right call for sun-facing and lake-view exposures where standard blinds collapse over time.
