Pella introduces Steady Set
Pella Steady Set interior installation system for windows is described as the industry’s first interior installation system for new construction. Created with an installer-centric design, Steady Set features easy-to-learn, pre-attached components to help ensure a high-quality, repeatable, and reliable window installation.
“Pella‘s Steady Set innovation is totally changing the industry standard for window installation. By setting windows from the interior versus the exterior, installers are no longer required to carry a window up a ladder (only a roll of flashing tape)! The results are simple: superior installation, faster install time and safer,” said Will King, president of High Cotton Homes and Pella partner.
Pella said it spent years studying window installs, talking directly with builders and installers across the country about what makes window installations difficult. Too often installs are unsafe, done incorrectly, and are time consuming. The company observed installers were setting windows from the interior 85 percent of the time – and preferred to – while their partners were left with the risky ladder work outside.
The company says the Steady Set installation system is 3.15 times faster and takes a two-person install down to one. The system also reduces crew exposure to outside elements by up to 72 percent and allows up to 64 percent of the install to happen from the interior.
