FULL FRAME VS. Pocket Installation
When it comes to replacing your windows, you want to choose the company, the product and the type of installation that provides the maximum efficiency, the highest quality and the longest life. Pella Products of Kansas City provides these choices to you every time. We offer Pella® products that have two window replacement methods, and our representatives will consult with you to help you decide which the best alternative is for you.
Pocket Window Replacement System
If you want to keep the trim you currently have around your windows, the frames are in good shape with no moisture or insect damage, and only the old sashes (the part that holds the glass) need replacing, pocket window replacement might be for you.
- Only the sash is removed
- No trim or wallpaper is removed or damaged
- Pella® window slides into the existing "pocket"
- Insulate the existing cavity
- Installed from the outside or inside of the home
Full-Frame Replacement
Full-frame window replacement ensures that you aren't installing a new window into an existing frame that has been damaged by moisture or insects.
- The entire window and trim are removed, so you can change the size, shape or style of the opening
- You will receive new interior and exterior trim
- This method works on any age of home, for almost any type of window
- Installed from the outside of the home
When you choose Pella®, you get the special experience of having wood, fiberglass or vinyl windows and doors designed and built for your home - just the way you want them. No matter which installation method you choose both are energy efficient. With one phone call, your Pella Products of Kansas City representative will come to your home, evaluate your existing windows and provide you with the information you need to choose the type of windows and the type of installation that are best for you.
