People in the more rural areas of New Jersey often have questions about the how Renewal by Andersen replacement windows will look on their more rustic home. When you start looking for replacement windows, you should always consider whether the window style is appropriate for your home’s style it’s location and neighborhood character. Fortunately, Renewal by Andersen of Central New Jersey builds every window in classic architectural styles to rigorous standards for efficiency and low-maintenance performance in every location, whether that’s rural, suburban or urban. While our windows perform beautifully in every setting, each final design is unique based on size, shape, style, frame and glass choice. Here are three window types to consider.
Casement Windows
New Jersey is blessed with four distinct seasons and each one has its own challenges and perks. The average high temperature in January and February fluctuates between 35 degrees and 45 degrees, depending on which region you live in. As a resident, you’ve come to expect a mix of rainy days and sleet/rain/snow days. Casement windows keep the cold, damp weather outside where it belongs.
Rather than a window sash the raises vertically, casement windows open out with crank-style hardware. The unique latching system with multiple locking positions creates an airtight seal that prevents warm air from escaping your home and cold air from entering. This same design works equally well in summer months when you want to avoid the seasonal heat and high-humidity from running up your power bill.
The crank-style opening mechanism makes casement windows a great choice for areas that are harder to reach to open the sash. If you have high windows and windows over wide cabinets or counters, this is a good option for convenience and easy access.
Sliding Windows
All that natural humidity is terrific for native plant life – and living in New Jersey, you probably have spectacular views from the comfort of your home. Sliding windows – sometimes called gliders – open side to side. This window style takes advantage of a low-profile, space-saving design to give you more viewing area. With dual sliding or gliding windows. you can open either side and cleaning is a snap. Just lift the glass out of the easy-care track to reach both interior and exterior glass surfaces.
When you want less frame and more viewing area, sliders are the top choice in operable windows. This type of window is perfect for areas where you want to avoid blocking access to sidewalks and deck areas when you open your windows for ventilation or cleaning. There are eleven hardware finishes and seven interior color options for your Renewal by Andersen sliding windows so you are certain to find colors to match or contrast your home decor and style.
Picture Windows
Like sliding windows, picture windows give you a clear line of sight to the world outside. Picture windows are fixed – meaning they don’t open and close. Placement isn’t hindered by any indoor or outdoor fixtures or furnishing like sidewalks, patios, heating and air units or indoor furniture.
Whether you are replacing your current picture windows or you want to add a picture window to complement other window styles, these fixed windows increase energy efficiency, reduce noise and let natural light into your home.
