Some homeowners regard picture windows as the last resort for rooms that require frequent ventilation. But if you happen to have a truly spectacular view right outside your room, the last thing you want is to have sashes and grilles getting in the way. That kind of view deserves a window that will give it justice: picture windows. The following are its benefits.
Great Views
The great thing about Renewal by Andersen® picture windows on Staten Island is that you can customize the windows. Whether you prefer a medium-sized window that selectively frames a view or if you want floor-to-ceiling panoramic views, we have you covered.
Our Fibrex® material frames can be made into thinner frames that can support bigger glass areas without losing its shape or buckling under the weight. The combination of wood fibers and polymer ensure the strength and stability of the best wood frames, and the low maintenance benefits of vinyl.
Natural Daylight
The expanded glass area of our picture windows in Staten Island, NJ also lets you enjoy more natural light, or daylighting. Exposure to natural light has several health benefits, including regulating your body clock, making sure you sleep at the right times, and helping decrease stress.
You might think that with that amount of sunlight, your carpets and furniture would quickly fade, or that your room would gain more heat. We have you covered on both counts: our dual-glazed High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options feature low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings that can filter as much as 95% of UV rays and as much as 72% of infrared rays, i.e. the radiation that cause fading and solar heat, respectively.
Energy Efficiency
All our windows boast superior energy efficiency. This minimizes heat loss and keeps heat where it’s needed: inside during cold days, and outside during hot days. Our Fibrex material frames are inherently insulated, but glass is naturally conductive and picture windows are mostly glass. This is why all our windows all feature dual glazing, which virtually eliminates contact between interior and exterior panes. The space between the panes can be optionally filled with an odorless, colorless, non-toxic argon blend that enhances insulation.
All of these features comprise energy-efficient picture windows that help decrease the requirement for indoor heating and cooling, which, in turn, helps reduce your energy bills.
