FAQs: Renewal by Andersen® Replacement Windows

Renewal by Andersen® offers the best window replacement options in the industry, which feature exclusive materials and technologies that clients in Knoxville may not be familiar with. In this blog, we answer some frequently asked questions:

Which Window Frame Material Should I Buy?

There are many window frame materials on the market, but often you will have to make compromises with your choice. For example, wood is durable but is vulnerable to moisture damage. Vinyl requires little maintenance but it’s not as durable or as aesthetically pleasing. You need materials that have all these features while still maintaining energy efficiency.

This is why Renewal by Andersen chose to offer Fibrex® as our primary frame material. It doesn’t compromise on durability, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. Best of all, it requires little maintenance.

How Can Energy-Efficient Replacement Windows Save Me Money?

An average home loses up to a third of its annual energy through inefficient windows. Ideally, the indoor living space should have sufficient insulation to prevent heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer. All our replacement window styles, from traditional double hung windows to contemporary picture windows, feature High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass and Fibrex frames. They help ensure the integrity of your home’s insulation, minimizing heat loss and HVAC energy consumption to a minimum.

Are Your Windows the Same as the Ones I See in Hardware Stores?

Those off-the-shelf replacement windows are nothing like ours. Those windows come in specific sizes, which means your wall opening may require filler material or have to be resized to fit. Renewal by Andersen replacement windows, on the other hand, are made with the aforementioned exclusive material and are built to size. Custom windows let you keep the integrity of your Tennessee home’s original structure, as well as help keep it energy-efficient. You can also switch to a different window style—even combine two adjacent windows into one large window—if you wish.
