White Double-Hung Windows Preserve Colonial Style in Henrico

Henrico County, one of the oldest counties in the United States, boasts a long history that is honored through the preservation of its colonial architecture. Our Pella Virginia team, known for expertise in restoring historical properties and maintaining traditional styles, was enlisted to replace these old, drafty wood windows with energy-efficient ones. We recommended Pella Reserve — Traditional to retain the original beauty of these windows.

The traditional-styled windows in colonial homes add charm and lasting character that stand the test of time. These double-hung windows were selected with classical grille patterns. After the window replacement, this home now features crisp, white windows symmetrically placed throughout the front exterior, preserving the historical curb appeal. The color choice and placement reinforce style while the white complements the red brick exterior.

Our team kept the colonial window style while adding modern elements. We used Integral Light Technology grilles to mimic individual windowpanes. These features use foam spacers, strategically placed between panes of glass to cast a realistic shadow, creating the look of divided light.

The distinctive sloped roof of this Virginia home offers a unique opportunity for dormer windows. Our team installed these windows, strategically placed upstairs, to add an abundance of natural light and airflow into the bedrooms. This allows the homeowners to maximize their space while enjoying the benefits of these unique windows.

To improve energy efficiency, double-hung windows were chosen to satisfy the homeowners' needs — energy and style. This window design allows for both sashes to move independently from one another, creating increased airflow throughout the home. The fresh breeze helps reduce the need for air conditioning which can lead to potential energy savings.

This Henrico window replacement project went off without a hitch. The homeowners are thrilled with the results, which preserve the colonial style and offer potential energy savings. For years to come, they can enjoy their new wood windows and enhanced functionality.
