Picture Window Replacement
Bring the charm of the outdoors into your home with Renewal by Andersen® picture and combination windows.
When you want to bring the majestic beauty of the great outdoors right into your home, there’s no better way to do it than with picture windows. Whether you want to view the peace of nature when you wake up in the morning, create a natural backdrop in your gathering space or provide a scenic escape when you’re cooking in the kitchen, these windows are an excellent choice.
Asher Lasting Exteriors offers reliable Renewal by Andersen® picture windows for your home. These windows optimize glass space and feature a strong, full-perimeter seal between the frame and glass to ensure energy efficiency and beautiful views. You can let these windows be the star of your space or pair them with several other window options for a luxurious combination that catches every eye. With customization possibilities like hardware, color, glass and more than a dozen shapes, there’s no better way to showcase your style while maximizing your views.
Benefits of Installing Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed windows that do not open but offer incredible views. These windows utilize a single pane of glass and come in many sizes, allowing you to create small or larger pictures in any space. With picture windows you can enjoy:
- Unobstructed views: The lack of window elements in picture windows makes them excellent for creating an unobstructed view. These windows can make rooms feel more spacious and create an open or seamless feeling. Additionally, these windows maximize natural light exposure because there are fewer elements blocking the rays.
- Affordability: Picture windows are stationary fixtures, which means they do not have any mechanical parts necessary for opening. The lack of these components makes picture windows affordable despite increased glass usage.
- Energy efficiency: Picture windows offer exceptional energy efficiency because they do not open or close. They also have a seal directly along the frame, making them less likely to leak air.
- Customization opportunities: Picture windows come in a wide array of sizes, and when you choose windows from Renewal by Andersen®, you can choose additional customization options such as color, hardware components, and glass options. This customization empowers you to create unique or seamless looks that match your aesthetic.
Combinations to Consider
Another significant advantage of picture windows is the opportunity to install combination windows. Doing so enables you to have the best of both worlds — a fixed window with amazing views and an operable window for letting in fresh air. The four most notable combinations to consider are:
- Casement picture window combination: Join the elegance of a picture window with the functionality of a casement window. Casement windows swing open via crank operation, allowing you to adjust airflow to suit your preferences.
- Double-hung picture window combination: Double-hung windows are increasingly popular due to their dual operation. These windows allow you to operate the upper and lower sashes of the window, delivering increased ventilation and enhanced safety for pets and small children. A double-hung picture window combination can give you the utmost control over energy, natural light and air usage.
- Awning picture window combination: Many modern and contemporary homes feature awning windows. Awning windows are similar to picture windows but enable operation by swinging out and upward. This orientation prevents rain from entering your home but can be obtrusive in areas such as decks or patios where you may need to accommodate furniture and other fixtures. The unique and simplistic appearance makes this combination noteworthy, especially for those looking for a sleek and operable look.
- Bay window picture combination: Bay windows make it easy to incorporate other window styles. These windows create a U-shaped pattern and feature operable windows on either side of a picture window, such as double-hung or casement windows. You can also create a luxurious look by using all picture windows.
