Your home is more than just where you live—it’s where your family grows, relaxes and creates memories. Creating a healthier and safer environment is essential, and replacing old windows and doors can dramatically improve your home in unexpected ways.
Renewal by Andersen offers expertly crafted Acclaim® windows and Ensemble™ entry doors designed to enhance security, energy efficiency and overall comfort, making it a smart investment in your family’s well-being.
Old, drafty windows can significantly affect indoor air quality. Poor seals allow allergens, dust and moisture to creep in, creating an unhealthy environment for your loved ones. Renewal by Andersen’s windows, made with Fibrex® composite material and High-Performance Low-E4® glass, provide a near-impermeable seal that prevents pollutants and moisture from entering. Furthermore, High-Performance Low-E4® glass is standard in all Renewal by Andersen windows, and helps keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer while blocking 84% of harmful UV rays to protect your furniture, flooring and décor.
Replacing old windows and doors is also an excellent way to reduce energy costs while improving comfort. Older windows often allow drafts in the winter and heat to seep in during the summer, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime. Fibrex® material improves insulation, blocks heat transfer and helps families save up to 35% on energy bills. Its strength also allows for thinner frames, letting in more natural light while maintaining durability that resists rotting, chipping and peeling.
Safety is another key benefit of upgrading windows and doors. Ensemble™ entry doors feature a multi-point locking system that secures the door at multiple points along the frame, making it more resistant to forced entry. Renewal by Andersen windows also include optional child safety locks and tamper-resistant mechanisms, creating a secure environment and giving families peace of mind.
Replacing windows and doors improves air quality, energy efficiency, security and adds value and charm to your home. With Renewal by Andersen, you can create a healthier, safer and more comfortable haven for your family. Schedule your FREE in-home consultation today and take the first step toward a better home.
