Window Replacement 101 Part 1 Key Essentials to Look for

Part 1: Key Essentials to Look for

The success of your window replacement relies on smart decisions. You should know the features to look for in this home project; this way, you can pull it off and get plenty of value for your money.
For the first installment of our special blog, we want to discuss the things to consider when doing a window replacement in New Jersey. There are many, but Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-New York Metro recommends that you put a premium on these three essentials:

Weather-Resistant Frame

Choose replacement windows that are right for your local climate. All framing materials can protect your home against the rigors of nature, but the question is, for how long?

Wood owes its popularity to its strength, but its maintenance requirements is demanding. Its life cycle cost is high because of routine repainting. You can’t skimp on it because it would leave wood susceptible to moisture damage. Unlike wood, vinyl needs little maintenance because its color is factory-coated. However, it’s highly vulnerable to fading caused by constant exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Fortunately, these two are not your only options. Remember: you don’t always need to take the good with the bad. Advanced science has made composite materials overcome these structural and cosmetic drawbacks. One such material is Fibrex®. This durable composite material composes our window frames.

Efficient Glass

As with glass patio doors in New Jersey, energy-saving windows are worth the investment. Insulated glass with Low-E coatings increases your home’s level of comfort using less energy.

Although it pays to research on window terms, just look at energy ratings to tell how efficient the product is. ENERGY STAR® and National Fenestration Rating Council labels are the ultimate sources of this information. Fortunately, all our windows are energy-efficient thanks to our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options.

Reliable Warranties

All windows come with warranties, but they should outlast their utility. In addition, windows aren’t just frame and glass; they have tiny components that make them operate smoothly and reliably.

Most importantly, the installation must also have coverage. The performance and longevity of your New Jersey windows should come with an extended workmanship warranty to protect against premature failures due to improper installation. Rest assured that our team here at Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro are trained to ensure professional installations.
