Renewal by Andersen® Delivers Ease-of-Cleaning & Energy Efficiency with High-Performance™ Low-E4™ Glass, Next Generation Glass Technology

Cottage Grove, MN, September 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Now standard on all Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows and Frenchwood Patio Doors, new High-Performance Low-E4™ glass proves to be the next generation in insulated, energy-efficient, low-maintenance glass. Recently introduced by parent company Andersen Windows, Inc., High-Performance Low-E4™ glass is exclusive to Andersen (also spelled Anderson) products, including Renewal by Andersen® residential and commercial replacement windows and doors.

Once Andersen Low-E4™ Window Replacements are Installed, Homeowners in Northern Virginia (VA) Cannot Live Without Them.

Features of Andersen Low-E4™ innovative glass coating include easier cleaning, reduced dirt built-up, and reduced water spots by up to 99%. Once activated by sunlight, these features demonstrate energy saving technology at its best, helping to substantially reduce heating and cooling bills. Generally, Low-E4™ glass is 45 percent more energy efficient in summer and 35 percent more energy efficient in winter than standard dual-pane glass. Depending on where customers live, that can cut energy bills as much as 25%*.

With cold winters and warm, muggy summers, Northern Virginia (VA) and towns such as Fairfax, Annandale, Herndon, Falls Church, and Gainesville can dramatically benefit from Low-E4™ glass. When installed within Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows, Low-E4™ glass can make homes in this region feel comfortable year around.

Applied to one of the glass surfaces within the airspace, Low-E4™ transparent metallic coatings deflect radiant heat and let in visible light. Other features of the glass coatings include reduced glare and ultra-violet light by 83 percent for improved protection from fading for interior fabrics and furnishings.

“For over a century, Andersen has continually improved the performance of windows and doors. Renewal by Andersen® is pleased to be able to feature this latest breakthrough in glass technology” said Craig Evanich, president of Renewal by Andersen®. “Combined with Andersen’s patented low maintenance Fibrex® material and our exclusive start-to-finish process, Renewal by Andersen® offers a combination of products and experience that uniquely positions us to meet the window replacement needs of our customers.”
