A window replacement project can be exciting and challenging all at once. It’s exciting because you’ll soon have new windows to improve the look and comfort of your home. On the other hand, you will also need to take time to determine which windows best suit your home based on its architecture, your energy efficiency goals, and so on.
Before choosing which Renewal by Andersen® windows to install, take time to learn about each window style in our current collection. Each Renewal by Andersen® window offers its own distinctive features that can make rooms more welcoming and functional. This guide gives you a brief description of each window style to make it easier for you to decide.
Awning Windows
An awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward using a crank. This type is usually installed in tight spaces, such as over countertops or in bathrooms, and offer excellent ventilation and versatility. Use awning windows in combination with other window styles for a dramatic effect.
Picture Windows
Picture windows allow for stunning views and are frequently paired with smaller windows such as casements and awning windows. The large glass area can frame the beauty of landscaping or scenery while allowing a large amount of natural light to enter.
Gliding Windows
Gliding windows are set on tracks so they can be easily maneuvered for increased ventilation. As with picture windows, gliding windows feature a large glass panel that enables excellent views.
Bay and Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows create more space as they extend outward from the exterior wall. Composed of three or more picture or double-hung windows, bays and bows are specifically used to add more area and take advantage of views and natural light.
Double Hung Windows
The double hung window is the most popular choice for modern homes. It features two sashes that slide vertically within the frame for better ventilation. Renewal by Andersen® double hung windows are designed to tilt in for easy maintenance.
Casement Windows
A casement window is hinged at the side and swings outward. Casement windows are most suitable for small spaces that require a reach, such as over a kitchen or bathroom counter. This window has a cranking mechanism for easy control of ventilation.
