The Lifestyle Series makes wood windows attainable: pine interiors ready to stain or paint (or factory-prefinished in a choice of paints and stains), low-maintenance aluminum-clad exteriors, and a modular approach to performance. You upgrade from dual- to triple-pane and add AdvancedComfort Low-E or mixed-thickness sound glass only on the rooms that need them.
Pella offers four triple-pane performance packages: Performance (energy and sound), Energy Efficiency (adds AdvancedComfort Low-E), Sound Control (mixed glass thicknesses) and Ultimate Performance (both upgrades). Pella states triple-pane Lifestyle Series products earned the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient mark (2020, 2021 and 2023) and that its triple-pane design cuts noise by an average of 52% versus single-pane. Between-the-glass blinds and shades keep window treatments out of the dust and away from kids and pets.
For homeowners who want wood warmth without Reserve pricing, Lifestyle is Pella's sweet spot, and it is sold through Pella showrooms, dealers and Lowe's.

Insulation and energy performance in Minnesota
The wood frame and clad exterior give Lifestyle a low-conductivity frame, and the performance packages are built for exactly our climate. For a Minnesota house, order the triple-pane AdvancedComfort Low-E package on the whole house or at least the north and west sides; triple-pane is the configuration Pella cites for ENERGY STAR Most Efficient.
Glass packages
- Advanced Low-E dual-pane with argon (standard)
- AdvancedComfort Low-E: Pella's recommendation for the Northern climate, dual- or triple-pane
- NaturalSun Low-E and SunDefense Low-E for exposure tuning

Solid pine frame and sash with aluminum-clad exterior. Sash are weatherstripped around the perimeter; casements and awnings pull tight against the seal with multi-point locks.
Ratings
ENERGY STAR® certified in the Northern zone with the right glass package; triple-pane Lifestyle Series units earned the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient mark (most recently cited by Pella for 2023). U-factors by unit and package are on the NFRC label and in Pella's Architectural Design Manual.
What the install adds
On install day we set the unit on a sloped sill pan, tape the flanges or brickmould to the housewrap with flashing tape, fill the rough-opening gap with low-expansion foam, and seal the interior with backer rod and sealant before trim goes on. The exterior joint gets backer rod and sealant too, so the rating on the label is what the wall actually gets.
