A window replacement project is a great opportunity to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce your monthly utility bills. To help shed light on what improvements you should consider, here are some suggestions from our team at Renewal by Andersen® of Northwest Ohio.
Upgrade With Low-E Glass
The type of glass in your windows plays a huge role in maintaining their energy efficiency. Depending on where you are, energy-efficient glass will work to keep your home cool in the summer months and help warm it up during winter. Our High Performance™ Low-E4® glass is more energy-efficient than ordinary dual-pane glass by 47% in winter and 56% in summer.
Upgrade With Fibrex®
All replacement windows from Renewal by Andersen of Northwest Ohio are made with our patented Fibrex® frames. Fibrex was developed with energy efficiency in mind. It is a great insulator, which means it helps keep heat out of your home. It is also considered an environmentally friendly material as 40% of the raw materials required to produce it comes from reclaimed wood fibers. A Fibrex frame can last you at least three decades.
Upgrade With Accessories
It also helps to fit a window with accessories. A casement window in your bedroom, for instance, is a great way to improve ventilation in that space. However, you may fail to enjoy that benefit if you keep it closed all the time to prevent insects from coming into your room. What you can do is accessorize it with a window screen that will not only solve the issue at hand, but will still let you maintain better air quality and good temperature control. You’ll still have access to more natural lighting, too.
