With spring fast approaching, many people are thinking of ways of beautifying their homes. Our houses are composed of various parts—so which ones should you get to first? For your first home improvement project of the season, consider getting new New Jersey windows and doors.
There are many replacement windows and doors available on the market nowadays. We at Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-New York Metro have narrowed down your options to help you decide which ones will work best for you and your home:
WINDOWS
• Bay and bow window. If you want a big change in the way your exterior looks, look no further than bay or bow windows. These styles both project outward from your exterior walls. Many New Jersey homeowners prefer bay and bow windows because they make any room look more spacious, not to mention add charm and character to it. You can usually find them in the living room and dining room. Adding a window seat next to them makes for a nice area where family and friends can gather.
How are these two different? Bow windows have four or more window panels arranged to form a slight curve. Bay windows, on the other hand, are composed of three or more panels.
• Casement windows. Looking for a bigger (and better) view of the outdoors and improved ventilation? Then our casement windows are perfect for you as they have a maximized glass area. All our casement windows come with our virtually invisible TruScene® insect screens, which let sunlight and air in while keeping tiny insects out. You will gain 50% more clarity compared with other ordinary insect screens. Our casement windows open outward using a hand crank mechanism that’s easy to operate. These windows are great for rooms with limited space, such as the bathroom.
• Double-hung windows. If you want a window that’s simple and can fit any room in your house, then our double-hung windows are your best bet. These come in two individual glass panels that are divided by a sash. If you want more ventilation, simply open both glass panels. Find creepy-crawlies and other bugs irritating? You can get double-hung windows with TruScene insect screens.
DOORS
• French doors. Most, if not all, homeowners dream of having beautiful home that’s also big on energy efficiency. We at Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro carry stunning French doors by Andersen®. They feature two door panels that swing both inward and outward, some tiny glass panels, and a handle that’s generally intricate. We offer two distinct varieties of Andersen French doors: (1) hinged and (2) gliding.
• Sliding patio doors. Practical, modern, and low-maintenance—all great qualities you can find in Andersen sliding patio doors. Thanks to Andersen’s track rollers, these doors are easily operated by sliding them from side to side. Cleaning them is also made simple because the doors can be lifted from their tracks and put back in without any hassles.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Both replacement windows and doors these days are made to be exceptionally energy-efficient. Our options for door and window replacement in New Jersey are manufactured with our own advanced composite material, Fibrex®. It fuses the stability and strength of wood with the maintenance ease of vinyl. They are also used in combination with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, which is 56% more energy-efficient in summer and 45% more efficient in winter compared with ordinary dual-pane glass. This means our replacement windows and doors will form a thermal barrier to help regulate an even indoor temperature and keep your home cooler during summer and warmer during winter, which will also help lower your heating and air-conditioning costs.
