A LOOK AT RENEWAL BY ANDERSEN® WINDOW GLASS OPTIONS

Renewal by Andersen® windows aren’t just installed to improve the design of the home. They also improve overall energy efficiency. The company’s windows replacement process ensures that this is met through expert installation and the use of the latest technology in its framing materials and glass.

A Look At Renewal By Andersen Window Glass Options

This article discusses one key component of energy-efficient windows: glass packages.

Window Glass Qualities

Renewal by Andersen glass provides the necessary heating, cooling, visible light transfer and ultraviolet (UV) protection qualities you are looking for in an energy-efficient window. It utilizes a state-of-the-art technology, both on the exterior and the interior.

On the exterior of the glass, the metal oxide coating is applied to enable easy surface cleaning. When activated by sunlight, the likelihood of water spotting is reduced to 99%. Meanwhile, a light, multi-layer low emissivity (Low-E) coating is applied on the glass interior. This allows for visible light to pass through the glass while reflecting heat. With this coating, you remain comfortable both during summer and winter months.

Glass Options

Before windows installation begins, you will have to choose which glass option is best for you. The climate you live in, the architectural design of your home, the placement of your windows in relation to the sun and your desired “custom climate” are some of the factors you need to consider.

Your options include the following:

  • High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass – Standard for all windows we manufacture, it blocks 83% of harmful UV rays. It is effective in improving energy efficiency by up to 47% in the winter and 56% in the summer in comparison to ordinary dual-pane glass.
  • High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun™ glass – It provides better energy efficiency by up to 49% in the winter and 70% in the summer. It has the best daylighting capabilities while blocking the sun’s heat.
  • High-Performance Low-E4 Sun glass – This glass has a tint coating that brings in just the right amount of visible light while keeping your home cooler during warm weather.

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
