Specialty Windows: When Regular Windows Won’t Do
Some homes demand extra attention. That is why Renewal by Andersen of Alaska offers a full line of specialty windows for our local customers.
Our specialty windows are made of the same advanced materials as our traditional window styles, including High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass panes and frames built using our innovative Fibrex® material. The difference is that these windows can be designed to fit the dimensions of your space, and personalized further with your choice of color, hardware and grille styles.
What you get is a window that is uniquely yours.

Achieve the enhanced look of your home that you have always wanted with one of our many grille patterns. All of our grille designs, from colonial to prairie and farmhouse, are created to offer long-lasting performance with little to no maintenance.
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.
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.
Grille Profiles
Renewal by Andersen® introduces the next generation of low-maintenance, energy efficient glass with High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™, furthering the Andersen® advantage.
Easier Cleaning and Fewer Water Spots
Andersen® High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass employs a revolutionary titanium dioxide (TiO²) exterior coating, making it easier to clean. Upon activation, sunlight loosens any dirt adhered to the surface which can then be washed off by natural rain water. The coating also enables the glass to dry more quickly with as much as 99% fewer water spots. *
Increased Thermal Protection
Our Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass features an airtight seal, impervious to the entry of outside air around the panes, for maximum insulation from heat and sound transfer. In addition, the panes are optimally separated with a patented low conductivity spacer and filled with a blend of argon gas to further reduce thermal transfer. These features make High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass 70% more efficient than ordinary dual-pane glass in the summer and 45% more efficient than its counterpart during the winter. This can cut your energy spending by up to 25% depending on where you live. **
**A study comparing Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass to ordinary dual pane glass revealed a 25% savings on cooling bills and 10% savings on heating in identical homes. Savings may vary.
Keeps UV Rays Outside
High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass works much like sun block lotion to reflect ultraviolet (UV) rays that can fade fabric coloration and damage furniture. Ordinary dual-pane glass lets as much as 63% of UV rays enter the room. High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass is comprised of 11 microscopic layered coatings that cut UV transmission down to just 5%, while retaining the clarity or color of the light that enters your house.
Reduces Sound Penetration
Sound penetration is also significantly reduced when compared to single and double pane glass of other makers.
Standard Feature
Every single Renewal by Andersen of Central NC® window selection comes standard with our Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass, and the technology is exclusive to Andersen® windows and doors.
*On exterior surface when activated by sunlight.

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.
