Window FAQs

When Do I Use Casement Windows

Casement windows are operated by opening them outward using a crank. With that in mind, casement windows are an ideal addition if you have a lot of space on your home’s exterior. We do not recommend installing casement windows that are close to a garage area or a space that has high foot traffic as this will disrupt their walking path. A few examples of these spaces include decks, balconies or your front porch. Casement windows are also a great option if you’re looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency since they allow more natural light in, as well as ventilation. Even more so than double hung windows.

Are they Safe?

Casement windows are one of your safest picks since they have an airtight seal and a multi-point locking system that serves as a deterrent against home intruders. It also serves as a great emergency window, allowing you to exit your home easily in case of an emergency. For instance, they’re used in basements where egress space is limited.

Are they Low Maintenance?

Andersen®  casement windows are low maintenance since they’re very easy to clean. They’re also available in a variety of styles, such as vinyl that looks brand new even across the years. In fact, they can be simply cleaned by applying warm, soapy water on them and wiping them off clean. It can also be cleaned from the inside by cranking your window open and removing the window screen.

They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows.

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"We had a wonderful experience with Renewal by Anderson of St. Louis. From sales to office staff communication to installation everything was great. Our new windows are great quality, look amazing and improved the overall look of our house. We had four installed in August and will definitely be purchasing from Anderson for the rest of our windows in the future. I highly recommend! ❤️ Now it just needs to cool off outside so I can open them. 😃"
