Replacing your windows isn’t something you do often, so it’s only natural to have apprehensions. However, you can get rid of any fears you have by uncovering the truths behind this exciting home improvement.
As the premier source of custom-built windows in York, PA, Renewal by Andersen® of Central PA wants to debunk the most popular window replacement myths that often cloud the judgment of homeowners, starting with:
Vinyl’s claim to fame is its affordability compared with wood. But vinyl has its flaws.
For one, it may be low-maintenance, but it’s highly susceptible to changes in temperature, weathering, and constant use. It’s not uncommon for vinyl windows to require repair within just a few years after installation.
On the other hand, our very own Fibrex® material makes our replacement windows in York, PA, stay stunning and operate smoothly 20 years under harsh, perennial conditions. Like vinyl, our composite framing material is also nearly maintenance-free, but unlike vinyl, Fibrex doesn’t warp.
In fact, we warrant it not to flake, peel, crack, or corrode for many years to come.
There’s no denying that summer and fall are the best seasons for home improvement, but winter isn’t necessarily the worst time. Compared with other remodels, a window replacement is not as disruptive. In fact, the installation typically takes just one day.
At Renewal by Andersen of Central PA, we know what it takes to protect your home against the cold throughout the actual replacement. We manufacturer custom-built products to reduce labor requirements for the job and expedite its completion.
Even if you know that casement windows in York, PA, are more efficient than sliding windows, it always pays to check the NFRC ratings. These labels give you an idea of the product’s ability to reflect solar heat (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient), insulate your interiors (U-factor), prevent air infiltration (Air Leakage), let as much visible light in (Visible Transmittance), and resist fogging (Condensation Resistance). Lower numbers mean better performance for the first three ratings while higher numbers are superior for the latter two.
