How New Windows and Glass Doors Make For Better Homes

In more ways than one, installing windows and glazed patio doors can improve the appearance and functionality of your home. Here’s how generous use of glass can make your space more livable:

Making It Look Larger

Drawing the eye to distant areas that have striking visual elements helps expand the perceived depth of field. Since window walls and large glass doors extend the gaze into the outdoors, they create an illusion of space. They make small rooms look and feel bigger, making them seem less cramped.

At Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco, we specialize in bay and bow units too. These projection units literally increase your floor space and give you additional real estate for seating, storage, and other purposes.

Allowing More Light in It

Unlike older products, today’s windows and glass doors feature advanced glazing technologies to filter out the sun’s unwanted types of radiation without blocking visible light. They have spectrally selective Low-E coatings that reflect the invisible portions of the solar spectrum, infrared and ultraviolet. While doing so, they let a considerable amount of sunshine to illuminate your interior areas.

Boosting Its Ventilation

To invite more fresh breeze inside, a window and door replacement offers you the best opportunity to boost your natural ventilation. Replacing massive, fixed glass units with operating ones lets you use your wall apertures for cooling your rooms and venting moisture to the outside.

Reinforcing Its Security

Getting new windows and patio doors don’t just come with innovative glazing but also high-tech locking systems. Our sliding glass door system is an outstanding case in point. It’s equipped with a unique Andersen reach-out lock, which pulls the door panel snugly into the jamb. Compared with the basic latch, this cutting-edge locking mechanism is virtually impregnable.

Plus, you could add an auxiliary foot lock for an extra measure of security. Combining all of these pieces of hardware solves the universal security problem of most sliding glass doors.
