3 Factors That Affect Your Window Performance

3 Factors That Affect Your Window Performance

New windows are a considerable investment in time and money. You want these to look great in your home. More importantly, you want to make sure that these will perform reliably. Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island looks at the three factors that have the biggest impact on window performance.

3 Factors That Affect Your Window Performance

Factor 1: Material matters

What your windows in Long Island are made of is the first thing that determines their performance. At Renewal by Andersen of Long Island, that means Fibrex® for the frames and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass for the panes. Possessing the classic look of wood with the durability of vinyl, Fibrex is a composite far better than its components. For its part, High-Performance Low-E4 glass remains clear even as it protects from harmful UV rays. Both also ensure energy efficiency.

Factor 2: Positioning problems

Where you place your windows also has a big impact on how well these will perform. We suggest placing your windows facing south. In the colder season, this will allow passive absorption of solar heat to compensate for what’s lost at night. Overall, this reduces your home’s heating by up to 25%, ensuring more savings off your monthly energy bills.

Factor 3: Installation insubordination

Improper installation will mean more trouble. Air drafts that bring in the cold are among these problems; damaging water leaks are another. That is why Renewal by Andersen of Long Island employs only the most highly skilled workers. Moreover, the installation process of our replacement windows in Long Island has stood the test of time.

Take all three of these into consideration and you too can enjoy windows that look great and are fully functional. Call Renewal by Andersen of Long Island at (866) 609-5033, and we will make sure your windows are in top shape and form. We’ll even help you pick the styles that match your preferences and your needs.
