Windows for the Environment: Our Commitment

(Part 1)

Nowadays, it’s not just in vogue to talk about taking care of the environment—it’s something imperative too. Recent studies have shown that nearly every human endeavor has an equivalent carbon footprint and that this indicator measures how much of a negative impact these activities have on the environment. That’s why Renewal by Andersen® made a commitment to do our part from the get-go. Here’s how we do it:

Renewing What’s Already There

If we had simply set out to deliver windows across the country, it would have been very difficult for us to stand out. That’s why we made sure that our windows on Long Island are something truly special. It’s a little known fact that the average home uses significantly more energy than the average automobile. That inefficiency compounds over time because every component of an old home contributes to the problem.

That’s why the core of our commitment hinges on replacing what’s existing with an alternative that is energy-efficient and durable to carry on this benefit through the years. Over 300,000 satisfied customers across the country can’t possibly be wrong—and the numbers are still growing! Every day, more and more people call on Renewal by Andersen of Long Island to get windows that look great. And every day, they walk away with something far more beneficial.

Improving the Air in There

They say that the impetus for being more environmentally conscious is that it will ultimately affect our health and well-being. That’s true. In fact, poor indoor air quality is a problem that we already face—it’s among the top 5 health hazards. That’s why we’re proud that our company has attained the Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) Indoor Advantage Gold™ certification. This strict standard assures you that our double hung windows on Long Island help to keep the air you breathe fresh every day.

It’s not just the quality of the installation either—which is proving to be a big factor. Even the very materials that we use as the foundation for our product line contribute toward your health and that of your family’s.

(Part 2)

In order for a product to be truly participative in the effort to save the environment, the former needs to be able to affect the latter positively. When we placed that mind-set at the heart of our commitment, we realized that we needed to have our Huntington windows built from materials that are sustainable yet still beautiful. That’s when we at Renewal by Andersen of Long Island came across two such materials that we’ve been using ever since.

Material Considerations

Our frames are all made of Fibrex®. We love this material because it retains the simple beauty and elegance of wood minus its weaknesses. For one thing, the material will never rot, crack, pit, or corrode. For another, it is very low-maintenance overall—easy to clean and easy to keep clean. On the other side of the equation, it has the durability of vinyl. This means you don’t have to worry about getting new windows installed for a long time. This is naturally very good in itself for reducing your home’s carbon footprint.

The next component—the windowpanes—are made from High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass. The main draw for this glass is that it doesn’t allow heat transfer across its surface easily. This prevents your home from turning into a sweltering greenhouse during the hot summer months, keeping you comfortable. More than that, this effect also means your cooling or heating systems don’t have to consume much energy. Again, this lowers the carbon footprint while also helping lower your energy bills in the process.

Long Product Life Cycles

Lastly, perhaps passively, the fact that our standard and specialty windows in Huntington last a long time means that you also contribute toward lowering landfill waste in the country. Backing all that up is one of the strongest warranties available in the world today. All this means that you can rest assured knowing that your investment today will last you many tomorrows.

For many years now, Renewal by Andersen of Long Island has stuck to this commitment. We even match it with equally groundbreaking and reliable professional service to guarantee that your experience with us always ends up leaving you satisfied. So if you’re looking for that worthwhile investment for your home that also has you playing your part in saving the earth, we can help you realize it. Contact us today, and we’ll be glad to throw in a free consultation to get you started!
