How New Windows Keep Your Home Cool This Summer

You might want to invest in window replacement this summer, especially if your existing units are already old and failing. New windows will not only increase your home’s curb appeal, they’ll also keep your living spaces cooler and more comfortable. But how exactly will they do it? A premier window replacement expert, Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City, explains more. 

• By increasing access to natural ventilation. It’s incredibly tempting to turn up the air conditioner during the summer months. But if you choose the right style for your new windows, you may be less inclined to. Our Renewal by Andersen casement and double hung windows can keep your home cool by increasing its access to natural ventilation.

The sashes of our casements can be opened wide or angled to direct cooling breezes into your home. If you open the top and bottom sashes of our double hung windows at the same time, you can draw fresh, cool air via the bottom sash and let warm, stale air exit the room though the top sash. Window placement also plays a crucial role in encouraging better airflow throughout your home in summer. You can have our skilled window installers position your new windows on opposite walls, facing each other, to maximize the amount of cooling air that enters your space.

• By preventing outdoor heat from transferring in. New windows can serve as an effective thermal barrier between your interiors and the outside. Just how well they do it is dependent on the framing and glass they use. Renewal by Andersen windows use revolutionary Fibrex® composite for sashes and frames, allowing for a durable and airtight seal that stops conditioned air from leaking outside.

Our Fibrex windows perform even better when paired with our advanced High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass, which can significantly limit the amount of outdoor heat transferring into your home. By keeping valuable cooling energy in, and keeping excess heat out, our Renewal by Andersen windows can help keep your home cool while reducing your reliance on your AC.
