What began as a simple repair request turned into a stunning window upgrade for this Livingston, NJ homeowner—thanks to the Acre Windows & Doors team.
The Problem: A Broken Window No One Would Touch
The customer reached out after discovering a broken window in their home. They had already contacted two other companies, both of which said the window couldn’t be repaired and offered no solutions. Frustrated and uncertain, they turned to Acre for help.
Our team arrived for a repair appointment and not only fixed the window that others had deemed unrepairable—we left such a strong impression that the customer invited us back for a full evaluation. That visit led to a larger window replacement project that completely transformed the look and feel of their home.
✨ The Solution: Andersen 400 Series Window Upgrade
We replaced the existing window wall in their dining room with a custom combination of Andersen 400 Series picture and awning windows. This series is one of Andersen’s most popular and trusted product lines, offering the perfect balance of performance and design.
Why Choose Andersen 400 Series?
- Built to Last: Made with a wood interior and a weather-resistant vinyl-clad exterior for long-term durability.
- Energy Efficiency: Our project featured SmartSun™ glass, which blocks 95% of harmful UV rays while letting in plenty of natural light.
- Customization Options: With dozens of styles, finishes, and configurations, the 400 Series adapts beautifully to any space.
Picture & Awning Windows: The Perfect Combo
To make the most of the home's dining room view, we used:
- Picture Windows: These large, fixed-pane windows provide expansive, uninterrupted views and allow natural light to flood the space. Since they don’t open, they offer superior energy efficiency.
- Awning Windows: Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom, awning windows allow ventilation even during light rain. They're perfect when paired with picture windows to provide both beauty and function.
Design Details:
- Exterior Color: Terratone – a warm, earthy tone that blends beautifully with the home’s facade.
- Interior Finish: White – a clean, bright look that modernized the dining space.
- Glass Type: Andersen’s SmartSun™ low-E glass helps maintain indoor comfort and protect furnishings from fading.
