Things to Consider when Choosing Units for Historic Windows

Aesthetics

You will need windows that look like your old units so you can preserve the historic appeal of your home. At Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro, we do this through our Fibrex® frames. This composite material is so durable that we can make any window shape. We can even make frames and sashes that reflect the lines of your original windows. You can also choose from a wide range of finishes that add a classic touch to your windows.

Thermal Performance

Old windows had the ability to create a comfortable indoor environment but had short life spans. For your next casement windows in Staten Island, make sure you look for insulating frames and glass. At Renewal by Andersen, you can select from three energy-saving glass packages. They keep your homes comfortable in any season, so you don’t have to use your HVAC systems too much. Our Fibrex frames also have high insulating properties on par with wood.

Condition of Existing Opening and the Property

When removing your old windows, the opening might not be level anymore. Before we install your new windows, we conduct pre-installation measurements. This way, your new windows will fit perfectly in the opening. We also prepare and clean the opening before we install your windows. Lastly, we consider factors like unforeseen structural damage, wall material and thickness, and house settling.
