    Insert Vs. Full-Frame Window Replacement: Which Is Better?

    If you’ve been exploring your replacement window options, you may have already heard of the different window-installation methods, namely, insert and full-frame window installation. Let your leading window replacement contractor, Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta, explain what each method means, and which is best for your home.

    Full-Frame Window Replacement

    Insert Vs. Full Frame Window Installation

    If your existing window frames are still in good working condition, then insert window installation may be more appropriate. The process for insert window installation only involves replacing the window sash assembly, keeping the window frame, sill and trim intact. This makes the installation process faster, simpler and often cheaper. However, there are some drawbacks. You’ll have to hire a replacement window manufacturer that builds to size or you might sacrifice your windows’ energy efficiency, colorway and general operation due to improper fit.

    Full-frame window replacement, on the other hand, involves removing the entire existing window assembly – including the frame – and replacing it with a new one. This is appropriate for window frames that are already beyond repair. Replacement window units are built together, which guarantees a perfect sash-to-frame fit and therefore better energy efficiency. A full-frame window installation also lets the contractor address previously unknown issues with the wall opening that would otherwise have not been revealed if the original frames were in place.

    What You Can Expect From Renewal by Andersen

    Renewal by Andersen of Atlanta offers both installation methods. Whether one method or the other applies, you can expect the following with every installation:

    A Perfect Fit – All the windows we install are built to size, ensuring a snug fit that results in reliable operation and energy efficiency.

    Energy-Efficient Materials – Our replacement windows are made with Fibrex® material frames and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options that contribute to our windows’ energy efficiency, helping reduce your energy bill and keeping your home comfortable.

    Professional Installation – You can expect our installation team to arrive on time and ensure a thoroughly clean installation from start to finish. Upon completion, our team leader will demonstrate the new windows’ features, address any questions you may have and won’t leave until you are fully satisfied.

    Exceptional Warranties – In addition to our exceptional Transferable Limited Warranty that includes 20-year coverage on High-Performance Low-E4 glass and Fibrex material, we also cover the installation work itself with 5-year coverage.
