Sliding Windows
Stop struggling to open and close your windows. Turn to Renewal by Andersen® for user-friendly sliding windows in Knoxville TN or any of the surrounding areas. These windows slide effortlessly open and closed, never sticking or lifting from their tracks like older sliding windows. The secret is in Renewal by Andersen’s exclusive Fibrex® material, which never pits, rots, corrodes, or warps like wood or vinyl. With Fibrex sliding windows, you’ll enjoy many years of indoor comfort, low-maintenance, and energy efficiency.
Sliding windows consist of a single glass panel that slides from side to side on a track. Many homeowners have had trouble with older wood and vinyl sliding windows sticking in that track or lifting out without warning. Renewal by Andersen sliding windows will glide along their track with ease, requiring very little maintenance in order to maintain their simple functionality.
Our sliding windows are available with Renewal by Andersen’s exclusive TruScene® insect screens, which are made with a micro-fine stainless steel mesh that’s one-third the diameter of our standard screen wire to let fresh air and sunshine in and keep the smallest insects out. An effective screen is crucial in the summer months, when you’ll be leaving your sliding windows open to fill your home with fresh, cooling air.
The glass panel of our sliding windows utilizes one of two energy efficient glass packages. Here is a look at both options:
- High Performance™ Low-E4® glass is 45% more energy efficient in summer and 56% more energy efficient in winter as compared to ordinary dual panel glass.*
- High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass is 70% more energy efficient in summer and 45% more energy efficient in winter as compared to ordinary dual panel glass.*
These energy efficient glass packages will help you save money on your monthly energy bills.
Here at Renewal by Andersen of Knoxville, we understand poorly functioning, inefficient windows can cause a lot of stress and frustration. If you’ve struggled with older sliding windows, give us a call and schedule a free, in-home consultation on replacement windows in Knoxville, or any of the surrounding areas.
The Renewal by Andersen replacement window color palette is specially selected to match or complement the colors of your home. You can choose the same color for both the interior and exterior, or select any exterior color with a stainable wood, white or canvas interior. Our colors will not flake, rust, blister, peel, crack, pit or corrode, making troublesome maintenance a thing of the past. See the limited warranty for details.
