Whole Window Performance: What It Is & Why It Matters

Other window manufacturers would usually direct your attention to a particular feature and sell you on the idea that their products are the best based solely on that one feature. The truth is all the features of a window are important in completing the overall experience. How effective your windows are depends not on one feature, but on the entire package.

Whole Window Performance

Individual components may contribute to energy efficiency, but what’s truly important is whole window performance. Aside from looking great, your windows should perform as well as you expect them to. That is why Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati makes it a point to ensure whole window performance in all our products.

Framing Material

The framing material used on your casement windows in West Chester, Ohio is the first part of the whole window performance. For instance, aluminum conducts heat and cold. This is the reason Renewal by Andersen and our parent company, Andersen Corporation, rejected aluminum as a framing material in 1958, after thorough testing. After using hollow vinyl and wood-clad windows and doors, we developed Fibrex®, a composite of reclaimed wood fibers and polymer. This is a low-maintenance option like vinyl, and strong, stable, and classy like wood. It has everything you need for your window frames and sashes.

Glass

Single pane cannot beat the performance of dual pane, but ordinary dual pane is almost just as bad. This is why Renewal by Andersen of Cincinnati offers three special glass options for double hung windows in West Chester, Ohio, and all our other window types:

● High-Performance™ Low-E4® is our standard offering. It blocks up to 83% of harmful UV rays that enter your home.

● High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun™ glass is our most energy-efficient glass as it is 47% more energy-efficient in winter and 70% more energy-efficient in summer.

● High-Performance Low-E4 Sun offers the highest rating against solar heat gain. In addition, it is perfect for homes in warm weather.

Installation

Our professional window installation in Cincinnati completes the whole window performance. After all, no matter how good your windows are, they won’t be as effective if the installation is sloppy. Improper installation can lead to all sorts of problems. This is why Renewal by Andersen of Cincinnati will only send professional installers. We trust in their training, knowledge, and abilities that we even back our work with a written limited warranty. Take note that it’s separate from the industry-leading warranty on our windows and doors.

Whole window performance is the most important part of your windows; one or two features are not enough. Call Renewal by Andersen of Cincinnati at (866) 609-5033 and find out more about how our windows can benefit you.
