Whole Window Performance Series: Our Glass Options

Recent advancements have made it possible for many homeowners to invest in greener options for their home improvement efforts, including window replacement. This project contributes greatly to improving your home’s look and feel. For this reason, you need to make sure you have everything covered, particularly with regards to your choice of window materials.

Aside from framing material, you need to consider the glass that comes with your new windows in York, PA. Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania can help you with this through our excellent window selection. Energy efficiency in our windows’ design and construction is one of our top priorities. That’s why we have developed an advanced glass technology that can help you boost your home’s energy savings.

Our replacement units come with High-Performance™ Low-E4® or High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass. They ensure more comfortable rooms minus the high energy bills due to the following elements:

  • Double Glazing. Our windows feature two panes of glass for better thermal efficiency.  We optimize the air space between these two glass panes by keeping the right width. Insufficient space can lower the double glazing’s effectivity, resulting in reduced energy efficiency. If the panes are too far apart, on the other hand, it can result in significant heat loss. By making sure there’s optimal width between the panes, these windows will help prevent drafts from entering your home. At the same time, heating energy will remain inside your home.

  • Stainless Steel Spacers. We offer replacement windows in York, PA, that use low-conductivity, stainless steel spacers. Unlike aluminum spacers, this high-quality option effectively resists heat transfer while proving more durable. Even if they use less material, stainless steel spacers can still maintain the stability of your window’s glass.

  • Argon Gas Blend. Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania only use argon gas blend. This is a more cost-effective and energy-efficient option for gas fills in our double-glazed windows. Argon gas offers enough heat resistance and insulation, which helps keep your home more thermally comfortable. A pair of sealants—compressed butyl and specially formulated silicone—hold this gas securely in place. They stop moisture from leaking between the double glazing, letting you benefit from a longer-lasting window.

Our advanced glass options are available for all of our window styles, including casement windows in York, PA. When you need energy-efficient replacement windows, look no further than Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania. With our high-performance glass, we’ll help maximize your home’s comfort and efficiency. Call us today at (717) 591-4900 or fill out this form to get a free estimate.
