Colonial Window Replacement Meets Strict Neighborhood Regulations

As one of the oldest counties in the United States, it’s no surprise that some homes in Henrico must follow strict covenants to ensure homeowners honor their rich heritage. This particular home is located in a neighborhood that requires a unique grille style — specifically, a six-by-six grille pattern.

Luckily for these homeowners, the team at Pella of Virginia is knowledgeable in colonial-style window renovations. We provided window recommendations that adhere to these strict regulations. Our team suggested Pella Reserve — Traditional double-hung windows for their historical accuracy and potential energy savings.

Understanding the importance of maintaining the original look, our team customized a six-by-six grille pattern to comply with the strict covenants established in Henrico. We crafted this unique look with spacers between the panes to simulate divided light and left the window interiors unfinished, allowing the homeowners to paint them to their exact specifications.

To keep the traditional style, our double-hung windows feature a white exterior finish and are symmetrically placed, following colonial window characteristics. At Pella of Virginia, we understand the importance of staying historically accurate, so we provide the best recommendations to match the specific needs of our clients.

Our Pella Reserve — Traditional double-hung windows enhance energy efficiency with their two movable sashes, making them ideal for use in all four seasons. These easy-to-operate sashes increase airflow through a cross breeze, helping to keep the home cool in the hot Virginia summers and warm in the winters. This enhanced ventilation helps keep the home comfortable year-round, reducing the strain on the home’s HVAC system. As a result, these double-hung windows can lead to potential energy savings for the homeowners.

The homeowners were extremely pleased with the final look of their window replacement. Our team took great pride in successfully installing windows with a customized grille pattern. Now, the homeowners can enjoy their wood windows for years to come without worrying about the replacement process again.
