5 Smart Window Innovations That Were Popular in 2014

Continuous advancements are being made in the window industry. So what window innovations stood out in 2014? Here are four of them.

1.       Interior and exterior color options for windows. Now there’s more to window colors than just shades of white! Many color options are available for both the interior and exterior of your windows, be it traditional double-hung windows or custom windows. Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester offers interior colors including Pine, Oak, Maple and Terratone®. For your window’s exterior, choose from Cocoa Bean, Dark Bronze, Forest Green and Red Rock.
2.       Energy-efficient windows. The evolution of energy-efficient windows has helped homeowners save greatly on energy consumption. With the development of Low-E glass, you can now use the money that would have gone toward high energy bills for other home improvement projects. Energy-efficient windows also filter harmful UV rays, protecting the furnishings inside your home from fade.
3.       Sustainable window materials. Renewal by Andersen’s exclusive Fibrex® composite is made of 40% reclaimed wood fiber and 60% thermoplastic polymer, which makes it an environmentally friendly material. Fibrex combines the stability and strength of wood with the maintenance ease of vinyl, so it’s both durable and beautiful.
4.       Custom window features. This innovation gives homeowners more flexibility in window design. Here are some of the options you can choose from Renewal by Andersen.
