Quality Frames and Installation are Essential for Energy-Efficient Windows

Getting new windows in CT is a long-term investment. The latest windows are made of quality framing materials and insulated glass designed to withstand any climate. This can help you save on energy consumption over time. Energy-efficient windows maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. They help keep warm air in and cold air out during winter and function in reverse during the summer. This means that your heating and cooling systems won’t have to work too hard.

Energy-Efficient Windows Made of Fibrex® Material

Although a window’s energy efficiency depends largely on the glazing, the framing material contributes a good 10% to 30% of your window’s weather resistance. That’s why it is important to take the framing material into account. Renewal by Andersen® windows are made of exclusive Fibrex® material which combines the maintenance ease of vinyl with the strength and stability of wood. This revolutionary material produces beautiful, durable, and energy-efficient windows.

Maximizing Your Windows through Proper Installation

Installation techniques are as important as the quality of the materials used. High-performing windows can only work effectively when installed correctly. Here at Renewal by Andersen, we have two kinds of installation methods: insert replacement and full-frame replacement.

An insert window installation is best in the following situations:

  • Your current window frame and sill are solid and in good condition.
  • Your existing window construction is structurally sound.

A full-frame window installation works best in the following situations:

  • Your existing window frame has deteriorated beyond repair.
  • You want to improve the energy efficiency of your home by replacing the entire window unit.
  • Your old window frame doesn’t make it possible for the insert window technique.

You can make your home more energy-efficient with high-performance CT windows from Renewal by Andersen of Westchester. Give us a call today at (866) 609-5033 for more information on our replacement services.
