If you’re planning a window replacement in Toms River this season, choose replacement units from Renewal by Andersen®. These come in High-Performance™ Low-E4® and High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun™ glass — advanced options that excel in energy efficiency due to these essential elements:

1. Double Glazing — Our windows are double-glazed, meaning they have two panes of glass for better efficiency. Renewal by Andersen® optimizes the width of the air space between these two glass panes. If there’s not enough space, it diminishes the benefit of the air space, leading to reduced energy efficiency. On the other hand, panes that are too far apart can result in more heat loss. We make sure to keep the right width between our window panes, preventing drafts from entering your home while trapping heated energy inside.

2. Spacers — Renewal by Andersen® uses low-conductivity spacers of stainless steel for our window selection, including our bow and bay window in Jackson, New Jersey. Unlike aluminum spacers, they resist heat transfer better and is more durable. Stainless steel spacers also use less material while still maintaining the glass’ stability.

3. Argon Gas Blend — We use argon gas blend, a more cost-effective and efficient option for fill in our double-glazed windows. This provides sufficient heat resistance and insulation, helping improve your home’s thermal comfort. We keep this gas blend in place through our pair of sealants: compressed butyl and specially formulated silicone. These prevent moisture from leaking between the double glazing and contribute to a longer-lasting window.
