Window Safety Awareness Week: Keeping Your Windows Safe

No home is complete without windows. In addition to the fresh air and natural light that they let in, they also provide your home with a great view of the outdoors. This April, in celebration of Window Safety Week, Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati, your trusted window contractor, has listed down a few of our best tips to keep your family and your home safe

Window Safety for Homes With Children

Open windows are perhaps the biggest risk for unsupervised children. Even with a screen, accidents are still a very real possibility. You want to keep your windows closed at all times but this can greatly reduce your ventilation. If possible, you want to only open the windows that are out of your kids’ reach. You can further enhance your window safety with opening control devices and window grilles, available as customization options from our Renewal by Andersen specialists.

Dos and Don’ts of Windows

• Place large furniture such as couches and beds away from operable windows.
• Keep all doors and windows such as patio doors and storm doors locked even when you’re at home.
• Keep plants and shrubs directly under windows.
• Use a carbon monoxide detector and ensure adequate ventilation in your home.
• Trust only Renewal by Andersen for all your replacement windows and doors.
• Always keep an eye out for your kids.
• Use insect screens to keep bugs away, but do not rely solely on them to prevent accidents.
• Don’t forget to keep your windows and doors regularly inspected and maintained.
