Window Replacement: The 4 Things You Need to Know

Modern windows offer benefits that make them a worthwhile investment. With all of the options available, how do you decide on the perfect window replacement for their home? Renewal by Andersen® of Portland looks at four things that you need to know to make sure you get the right one.

1. Material Matters
Renewal by Andersen of Portland makes all of our replacement windows in West Linn from two innovative materials. We use Fibrex® for the frames — a material that comes from 40 percent wood fiber and 60 percent thermoplastic polymer. It lends up to twice the strength of vinyl and has no harmful VOC emissions. For our panes, we rely on High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass. Its high-grade coating not only makes it more durable than regular glass and it is low-maintenance.

2. Go for Energy Efficiency
Another major benefit of both Fibrex and High-Performance Low-E4 glass comes from their natural energy efficiency. These materials regulate the transfer of heat across their surfaces. Heat stays in during cold months and outside during warm months. This leads to less dependence on air conditioning and heating. You can expect to enjoy up to 25% savings off of your energy bills monthly.

3. Consider the Contractor
The Renewal by Andersen Difference covers our way of approaching window replacement. We make sure to listen carefully to your needs. This assures you that we will base our recommendations on exactly what you need. We will also take careful measurements to custom-build each replacement you get. This clear communication and care leads to a polished and dependable customer service experience.

4. Get It Exactly As You Want It
