Picture windows are fixed glass panels designed to maximize your view and let in as much natural light as possible. When the seal fails and fog clouds the glass, or when the frame deteriorates and drafts get through, you lose the clarity and comfort that made the window valuable in the first place.
Picture window replacement addresses these issues and can also contribute to lower energy bills. The team at Renewal by Andersen builds custom picture windows with Fibrex® material to fit your home.
A picture window for living room or dining room use does more than look good. It makes the space feel larger by drawing your eye outward, and it reduces your need for artificial lighting during the day.
Large picture windows work especially well in rooms with a view worth framing, whether that is a backyard, a treeline or a city skyline. Modern picture windows with slim frames suit contemporary homes, but the style fits traditional architecture too when scaled correctly.
If you want views and ventilation, picture windows with views can be combined with operable casement or awning units on either side. You get the expansive glass in the center and working windows where you need airflow.

Older picture windows often have poor insulation, which means your heating and cooling system works harder to compensate. Energy-efficient picture windows from Renewal by Andersen are built with better insulation to keep your home comfortable.
SmartSun™ glass is 70% more energy-efficient in summer and 45% more energy-efficient in winter compared to standard dual-pane glass. It also blocks 95% of UV rays, which protects your furniture and flooring from fading.
Because picture windows have no moving parts, there are no tracks or hardware gaps where air can leak. The glass sits sealed in the frame, which means fewer drafts and more consistent indoor temperatures.
Your window frame material affects how long your window lasts and how much glass you can see through. Fibrex® material is stronger than vinyl, so frames can be narrower without sacrificing durability. Narrower frames mean more visible glass and less obstruction in your sightline.
Picture window frame options from Renewal by Andersen include 48 color combinations. Dual-color configurations let you match the interior to your trim and the exterior to your siding separately. Grille patterns are available if you prefer divided lites, and 11 hardware finishes coordinate with adjacent windows.
The material contains 40% reclaimed wood fiber, resists moisture and warping, which means less upkeep for you over the life of the window.
The team at Renewal by Andersen manages the process from start to finish. Picture window installation starts with a design consultant who measures your opening and helps you choose the right specifications. Every window is built to order based on those measurements, so there is no forcing a stock size into your wall.
Installers replace the old window, fits the new one and verifies alignment and weather protection.
Warranty coverage includes 20 years on glass and Fibrex® material, 10 years on hardware and two years on labor.
