The casement window never goes out of fashion. Its popularity dipped a little with the arrival of the double-hung unit, but it rose back to prominence in the 21st century. Many factors have contributed to its successful comeback: stringent fire egress codes and the ever-growing interest in energy efficiency to name a couple.
Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-Metro New York uses Fibrex® material and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of casement windows. Here’s why our crank units are a cut above the rest:
Exceptional Insulation
One of the claims to fame of the casement window is its weathertight seal. Of all operating units, it’s the most energy-efficient because its singular sash presses snugly against the frame upon closing. With few moving parts, its design makes for excellent thermal insulation and outstanding air-leakage resistance.
Any of Low-E4 glass packages can elevate the performance of a typical casement. Our most efficient option, the SmartSun™ glass, has a 0.24 U-factor, and only allows 28% of solar heat to pass through it. Plus, it blocks 95% of ultraviolet radiation.
Unlike vinyl-framed products, our windows aren’t prone to bowing or cracking. Our Fibrex material doesn’t expand and contract a lot with extreme temperature swings, allowing it to retain its robust seal to prevent air and water infiltration.
Large Glass Area
Our Fibrex material is so strong we only need slim frames to support the large double-pane panel of the casement. Narrower frames mean more glass, which captures larger views and more sunlight. For maximum daylighting, our standard Low-E4 glass offers 72% visible light transmission.
Long-Lasting Frame Finish
Like our double-hung, bay, bow, sliding, specialty and picture windows, the exterior color of our casements isn’t susceptible to fading. Our cutting-edge extrusion process enables us to permanently apply rich, stunning hues to our Fibrex material. As a result, your purchase comes with a 10-year warranty on its exterior color finish.
