Cottage Grove, Minn. (Mar. 31,
2006) — 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

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.”
