We’ve all been there: bought a home only to find that there are subpar elements we have missed during the open house. Rotting windows here, cracked doors there. No need to worry! You can always update your newly purchased home with better units.
As your experts in doors and windows in Oak Ridge, TN, we can help. Here’s what we suggest:
Composite Frame Windows
Poor-quality windows may fail after just five years and don’t make good investments. We recommend composite frames as an alternative. Many, including Fibrex® frames offered by Renewal by Andersen®, are designed to last longer and perform better than other materials. Fibrex has a low thermal expansion rate, which means that it won’t crack, bow, or warp even in harsh temperatures. You can expect this material to perform well, no matter how hot or cold it gets in your new neighborhood.
Fibrex frames are best used with high-performing glass packages. Fibrex plus High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass is a formidable combination when it comes to energy efficiency. The frame’s advanced thermal properties and the glass’s low-emissivity coatings work well together to reduce solar heat gain through the unit. You’ll enjoy your new home better if you’re able to stay comfortable indoors no matter the season.
Fiberglass Entry Doors
Your entry door is special in two major ways: (1) it protects you from the elements, and (2) it adds a great deal of appeal to your home. Did you know that getting midpriced replacement doors in Knoxville and the rest of the East South Central region can recoup up to 114% of its original price? It depends on the material. But in essence, entry door replacement is the remodel with the highest ROI in this year’s “Cost Vs. Value Report” from Remodeling magazine. If your new residence has old or drafty doors, you should definitely consider a replacement.
For less upkeep, better appearance, and superior performance rolled into one unit, consider fiberglass entry doors from ProVia. They’re classically beautiful with their woodgrain look and unmatched when it comes to durability. They can guard your home and impress visitors for years to come.
Professional Installation
Your planning shouldn’t stop at picking the best-looking and top-performing units. No matter how great your windows and doors are on their own, they may still fail prematurely or underperform when not installed correctly.
Here at Renewal by Andersen of Knoxville, not only do we offer high-quality window and doors. We’re experts in the installation process as well. Our well-trained crews will make sure the units are properly integrated into your newly bought home.
We can help you out during the planning and design stage as well. Give us a call for a free, no-obligation consultation with our experts.
