Replacement Sliding Windows in Alaska - Renewal by Andersen of Alaska

What are Sliding Windows?

Sliding windows feature an expansive glass area (the most of any of our operable windows), top-to-bottom ventilation, one or two sliding sashes – double sliding windows, modern and contemporary styling, and easy-gliding tracks that outperform competitor windows which tend to stick or come loose from their tracks.

Sliding windows are ideal for rooms that are small, rooms that are dark, rooms that need better ventilation, or where you’d like a large panel of glass to maximize your view.

Why Choose Sliding Windows?

COMFORT – The narrow frames and large glass area provide more view, and maximize ventilation into the space. Additionally, our patented water-management technology features a sill design that directs water away from the window quickly.

ADDED SPACE – Sliding windows don’t take up extra space because the door operates on a track, rather than swinging into the room.

LOW MAINTENANCE – The windows run smooth, easy to clean tracks. They also lift out which provides easy access to clean the exterior glass from the convenience of inside your home.

Fibrex Frames

All Renewal by Andersen window frames are made with exclusive Fibrex® material, a high-quality composite material that combines the strength and stability of wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl. Fibrex® was designed for durability, energy efficiency, beauty, and minimal maintenance and to withstand Alaska’s harsh winters in a way plastic never could.

Additional Window Options

WINDOW GLASS OPTIONS

We can help you select a glass option that enhances your window, while providing the ultimate in heating and cooling performance, visible light transmittance, and ultraviolet (UV) protection.

WINDOW GRILLES

Renewal by Andersen of Alaska carries a wide range of creative grille patterns to enhance the look of your home. All of our window grilles are engineered to be low-maintenance with long-lasting performance.

TRUSCENE® INSECT SCREENS

With over 50% more clarity than our standard screens, Truscene Insect Screens are virtually invisible. Constructed with a micro-fine stainless steel mesh, they let more fresh air and sunlight in, while keeping even the smallest insects out.

Grille Patterns

You choose how many squares comprise each sash.

A classic style with two vertical bars in each window.

A design that always includes two vertical bars and two horizontal bars on each sash that create a “picture frame” look.

This pattern features two horizontal bars and two vertical bars per window instead of per sash.

Grille Types

Interior Wood Grilles

Hardwood grilles allow for easy glass cleaning as the grill snaps into clips on the sash interior that can be easily removed. Available in two widths.

Gilles Between The Glass

This aluminum pre-finished grille is permanently installed between the panes of glass to provide the speedy glass cleaning of a smooth surface. Available in two widths and an array of colors.

Full Divided Light Grilles

A permanently attached exterior Fibrex® grille, an aluminum spacer between the glass, and a permanently applied (or removable) interior grille makes this a visual replication of true divided glass. Also available in two distinct widths.

Renewal by Andersen® offers two unique glass performance options

Each one of our unique glass options offer a varying degree of benefits within the categories of heating, cooling, ultra violet (UV protection) and visible light transmittance. The climate you live in, the architectural features of your house, the angle of your windows to the sun, and the “custom climate” you hope to create for your home all help determine which option is the ideal solution for you.

Our standard offer in Alaska is the High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass and is the single most energy efficient option we have ever had the pleasure of offering to our customers. Compared to ordinary dual-pane glass still performs 45% more efficiently during the winter and 56% more efficiently in the summer. ** You can decrease your energy bills by up to 25% and block 84% of all harmful ultra violet rays, depending on where you live.

High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass is the single most energy efficient option we have ever had the pleasure of offering to our customers.

We're in the process of replacing all the windows on the main floor. Steve Tuttle, the Installation Manager, stopped by this morning to measure all the windows and verify the window choices we made, earlier. Steve arrived exactly on time and well prepared to do a thorough job of measuring for installation. Steve is professional in both attitude and action. This seems to be a trait exemplified by all the employees of Renewal by Andersen of Alaska. Our experience to this point in the process has been fantastic. I highly recommend considering Renewal by Anderson of Alaska if you're considering window replacement.

Update 9/3/2021: Our windows are installed and they are absolutely fantastic!! The windows are Andersen, so, obviously, they're high quality and beautiful, but our installation team, Bobby and Aaron, went above and beyond. They are the epitome of Professionalism and Customer Service. Again, if your considering window replacement, we highly recommend Renewal by Andersen Alaska.

Daniel Perez has shown his dedication and expertise on what he does. He showed accuracy in measuring the windows that will be installed. For the short period of time that I spent watching him and chatting with him gave me an impression that he is knowledgeable and a very valuable asset to the company. He was respectful too and was able to answer all my questions. He is an employee for keeps.

Salesman Nick was quite knowledgeable about the product and company history, personable and helpful. He answered all questions to my satisfaction and gave good advice regarding window maintenance. Follow up scheduler Derek was very helpful as well and made custom changes to the installation plan to get a better result. He also answered all my questions.

I can't say enough good things about the people who work for Anderson. Derrick measured for my doors and is absolutely wonderful to work with-professional, detailed oriented, and wanting to get things right and this is a challenge in older log homes which I have. When he came, he checked on the windows which he had also measured for just to make sure that they were working well. It is his dedication to quality and customer service that makes folks keep coming back. You are very lucky to have him working for you!

I requested Renewal by Anderson of Alaska to install a picture window for a circa 1940's log house. Quote process was professional and thorough and Mel Ramos did an excellent job with the proposal and setting up the subsequent filed measurements for window fabrication.

Brian Harris did the field measurements and proceeded to do an exacting evaluation and explanation of the process. The age of the log house made the project interesting. Brian's experience with remodels in Alaska allowed him to address certain issues more common to "older" home. Brian also did a professional and efficient job.

Deb Crawford

Very professional and personable. Answered all of my questions and up-front about possible issues with paint ridges on outside due to difference in window trim. This is the second time we have used Renewal. Very happy so far

Del Hoagland

Robert was our Installation Manager, he was punctual each time and professional. Answered all our questions, we was very satisfied with his service and information he provided us. We had to reschedule his second visit us us and it was not a problem at all with him.

Gennie Ellis

Everything about the whole process went smoothly, the guys were considerate and knew what they were doing, and the work was done in a timely manner. The new patio door is beautiful. I am happy if there is ever an issue I just have to all them. Awesome!
