Pella Displays Latest Innovations at Builders’ Show

Pella’s innovative products include the Rolscreen® retractable insect screen; window fashions under panes of glass; three-point locking mechanisms for increased security and energy efficiency; prefinished interiors; and many others.

Products and techniques will be demonstrated at the Pella booth — #C4689 — throughout the show every hour on the half hour. Company representatives will show how using Pella SmartFlash™ window and door installation tape and GREAT STUFF™ Pro Window & Door Insulating Foam Sealant, manufactured by Dow®, can significantly reduce callbacks.
