PART ONE: RENEWAL BY ANDERSEN - THE BRAND

Homeowners looking to replace their old windows will encounter a variety of replacement window brands. One of them is Renewal by Andersen. The brand is worth checking out because the company behind it, Andersen Windows, Inc., is a key part of the Andersen Corporation, the largest window and door manufacturer in North America.

AVAILABLE WINDOW TYPES

Renewal by Andersen has a wide selection of replacement windows that homeowners can choose from, each with their own appeal and set of features to cater to different needs. Available window types include

Awning

The Renewal by Andersen line of awning windows features a simple design that allows it to suit a range of home styles. Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom via a patented sliding mechanism, the awning window can also be cleaned from the inside, as the sash can be tilted inward.

Bow and Bay

Bow windows are made up of three panels while bay windows typically feature four or five. Because of the way these windows angle out, they offer not just wider views of the outdoors but also impart a sense of space to a room. A combination of window styles can be used in bow and bay configurations but casements and double hungs are popular options.

Casement

Because it offers an unobstructed glass area, a casement window allows homeowners to maximize viewing space. It can also be operated at an angle, offering excellent ventilation control.

Double Hung

The most popular window style in all of the country, double hung windows make it difficult to go wrong, with a timeless design featuring two operable sashes. As with other Renewal by Andersen window styles, they can be custom-sized for your home, ensuring a replacement with a perfect fit.

Gliding

Also known as sliding windows, gliding windows are easy to operate and are generally not fitted with muntins, letting them offer unobstructed outdoor views. Due to their simplistic design, they are best for homes with more modern themes.

Picture

Also known as fixed windows, picture windows, as their name suggests, offer picturesque views of the outdoors by perfectly capturing the scenery through an expansive glass area. Because they can extend from the floor to the ceiling, they can sometimes look like a glass wall when laid out in a series.

Specialty

For those looking for window styles out of the ordinary, you should definitely consider specialty windows. Available in a range of shapes and sizes, specialty windows work great as focal points for a home.

Every window it makes is a testament to Renewal by Andersen’s commitment to provide the best for its customers. In line with that, the brand has gone to great lengths to innovate their offerings, coming up with features exclusive to the windows it has. Some of these features include:

Fibrex® Composite Material

If there is one innovation that has changed the way consumers look at the brand, it would probably have to be Fibrex®, which Renewal by Andersen developed in 1991. This Andersen-exclusive is a groundbreaking window framing material that combines the low-maintenance requirements of vinyl and the beauty of wood. That means homeowners do not have to sacrifice quality for price or price for quality because Fibrex® ingeniously takes care of those concerns. Aside from being easy to maintain and beautiful, Fibrex® is also highly durable, meaning less of it is needed, which results in a narrower frame that offers bigger, wider views. The material is also environmentally friendly as 40% of it is made from reclaimed wood fibers.

High-Performance™ Low-E4® Glass and SmartSun™ Glass

Low-E4® Glass is capable of blocking up to 84% of damaging UV light while SmartSun™ Glass can shield your home from up to 95% of UV rays. Both glass options also reduce the amount of heat that windows let through as the sun shines, helping stabilize indoor temperatures.

Heat-treated, Renewal by Andersen’s tempered glass is four times stronger than the standard window glass.

Perma-Shield® System

Developed in 1966, clad-wood window system offered by Renewal by Andersen features a strong, form-fitting vinyl exterior for wood windows. This not only helps extend the life of the window by protecting the frame material but makes the window easier to maintain as well.
