Q and A: Two Frequently Asked Questions About Windows

Pay attention to what your windows are trying to tell you. They are highly communicative components of your home, which means they show signs when something is off. When you begin to notice cracks and tears on their surface, replacing them with energy-efficient units can help you minimize utility costs. Renewal by Andersen® of Montana, your trusted window company, answers two of the commonly asked questions about windows.

Why is It Important for Windows to Have Two to Three Glass Panes?

Among the primary reasons why homeowners opt for double-paned windows is to lower their environmental footprint and insulate their house. Single-paned models, by contrast, are not as energy-efficient as double-paned ones because they allow heat to escape. In fact, energy loss in windows accounts for nearly 25% of a home’s annual heating and cooling costs, according to the Department of Energy.

Our commitment to craftsmanship and innovation has led us to develop cost effective solutions. Renewal by Andersen creates top-quality windows that come with High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass that is 70% more energy-efficient in summer and 45% more energy-efficient in winter. As the first replacement window manufacturer to be Green Seal-certified, we help you reduce the amount of energy you need to maintain the comfort levels of your home throughout all seasons.

What is the Best Frame Material for Windows?

Two of the most common materials used for manufacturing frames are wood and vinyl. Wood, however, may give you a natural look, but it can rot after a few years. It also needs painting every few years to maintain its beauty. Vinyl, on the other hand, sticks and warps only after a long time.

Renewal by Andersen uses innovative Fibrex® frames that combine the beauty of wood and low maintenance features of vinyl. You can choose from a variety of colors, depending on your preferences. Moreover, the frames can be painted to match your home’s design.
