25 May 3 Reasons to Invest in Sliding Windows
The sliding window has become one of the most popular choices for homeowners today. It’s easy to clean and operate, and it’s very space-efficient. But that’s just the start of why you should consider these windows for your home. Read on to see why homeowners love Andersen sliding windows:
Energy-Efficient View
One of the best parts of the slider is its uninterrupted view. Like casement windows, sliders don’t have any grilles or grids to interrupt the glass. This means you get to see your lovely view through the panes.
While a full view of the outdoors may lead to higher energy transfer from the sunlight, Renewal by Andersen has you covered. Our windows are made with High Performance™ Low-E4® Glass, designed to keep your heat in and out of the house. It has composite materials to reduce the amount of heat that enters and escapes the house. This means you get a window that can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Weatherproofing Materials
Every window we install has strong weatherproof stripping to help your home stand up to the weather. It helps the window seal properly. It also improves the amount of insulation that your home has from the outdoors.
We also use a unique frame material known as Fibrex® which is resistant to the elements. Without a strong window frame, your house could be at risk for leaks and drafts. Because of this, we use Fibrex to protect all our installations, from casements to picture windows. It is as low-maintenance as vinyl and as strong as wood, without the weaknesses of either.
Ventilation and Operation
We mentioned before that sliders are easy to operate, and it is more than just the mechanism. While they easily glide from one side to the other, each sash can actually be moved at the same time. This means you can move both sashes to the middle for better ventilation. Sliders also have a thin design, so you get the most view and breeze without losing any benefits.
