What’s Special About Renewal by Andersen® Casement Windows?

The casement is one of the oldest window styles, but it never goes out of fashion. While it may have lost the popularity contest to the double-hung window, today’s green movement and building codes have revitalized the interest in casement units.

The casement is the most energy-efficient of all operating windows; its single sash presses against the frame at closing to create a weathertight seal. When open, it controls and directs ventilation best. Also, it admits unbroken sunshine to brighten up the interior.

To take its utility to the next level, Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey and New York Metro has reimagined the casement with superior components. Here’s what our version of the casement window system features:

Fibrex® Material

The frames of our casement windows are made with the exclusive Fibrex material, which is a composite that combines reclaimed wood fibers and proprietary polymers. As a result, our windows are twice as strong than their vinyl counterparts. They don’t bow or crack with extreme temperature swings, contracting and expanding very little to minimize potential air leakage over time. In fact, our framing material is so strong we can afford to keep them thin to provide more glass without sacrificing durability and stability.

Moreover, our Fibrex material reduces heat transfer practically as well as the industry’s best insulators. Unlike fiberglass, it never needs painting or staining. Our patented composite material doesn’t rot, decay or allow mold growth.

High-Performance™ Low-E4® Glass

Like our bay, bow, sliding, specialty, double-hung and picture windows, our casements feature our revolutionary Low-E4 glass package. Our glazing system consists of a spectrally selective, multi-layer Low-E coating, an argon gas blend, a stainless steel spacer and dual seal.

Available in different varieties, any of our Low-E4 glass solutions offer exceptional benefits for heating, cooling, UV protection and daylight transfer. Bearing the ENERGY STAR seal, our glass packages have outstanding ratings that meet (and even exceed) local energy-efficiency requirements.

TruScene® Insect Screen

As with our other operating windows, our casements repel unwanted bugs with the TruScene insect screen. Compared with standard insect screens, its high-transparency design allows it to deliver 50% more clarity. In turn, it lets a lot of light in, provides excellent ventilation, and denies entry to the smallest insects. Plus, our TruScene insect screen is low-maintenance. Lightweight and easily removable from the inside, cleaning it is always a breeze.
