Whether you’re replacing a couple windows or the entire house, our team at Renewal by Andersen has a few tips to help choose the right windows for your home.

First, you may be wondering, “When’s the best time to purchase new windows?” While there’s no true answer, we assess window replacement based on these factors:

1. Poor Condition

If you’ve identified cracks, leaks or rotting, its time for replacement. Windows in poor condition can cause humidity problems, water leaks, or even pest infestations.

2. Safety

If there’s a fire or other emergency, it’s important for your windows to perform properly. If unable to open and close then, we recommend replacement.

3. Energy Costs

Have you noticed a major increase in your heating and cooling bills? You may be losing air through your windows. Poorly performing windows are always good candidates for replacement.

Now that we’ve covered the three major reasons for replacing windows, there are some other factors you’ll need to consider. Before you pull the trigger on a new purchase, you’ll want to assess your preferences of frame, glass, and design.

We have a variety of options for you to choose from at Renewal by Andersen. Because of this, our team is always here to help choose the best windows for your home. Here are just a few of many popular styles we carry:

1. Single or Double Hung Windows

These are perhaps the most two common windows found in house. Each consists of two sashes, which open and close the window by sliding up or down. A single hung opens from the bottom only, while a double hung can be opened from top or bottom.

2. Casement Windows

This window style consists of one large sash that’s hinged vertically. It opens by swing out with a lever or other device.

3. Awning Windows

Awning windows are hinged at the top and are opened by tilting the window out from the bottom. As the name hints, this style provides the appearance of an awning when open.

4. Slider Windows

Slider Windows – Sliders open side-to-side and are a great choice for homes with limited space. More specifically, they take up less room outside and don’t require swinging.
