At Acre Windows & Doors, the right window upgrade isn’t about changing everything — it’s about improving the areas that matter most.
For this featured project in Clementon, we installed Andersen 100 Series single-hung windows in key areas of the home, giving the property a cleaner exterior look and noticeably better interior comfort.
This project highlights how strategic window replacement can elevate both performance and appearance without altering the character of the home.
Project Overview
The homeowners reached out because several of their existing windows were beginning to show signs of wear. Operation had become inconsistent, drafts were more noticeable during colder months, and the exterior trim lines didn’t look as sharp as they once did.
Their priorities were straightforward:
- Improve energy efficiency in the most used spaces
- Eliminate drafts and air leakage
- Upgrade to a stronger, longer-lasting material
- Maintain the home’s traditional style
- Create a more polished look from the street
After reviewing the condition of the existing units, our team recommended Andersen 100 Series single-hung windows as the right balance of durability, performance, and clean design.
Why the Andersen 100 Series Was the Right Choice
South Jersey homes experience a wide range of weather conditions throughout the year. Windows need to handle temperature swings, humidity, and long-term exposure without warping or breaking down.
The Andersen 100 Series is built with Fibrex® composite material, engineered for strength and stability. For this Clementon property, that meant:
- Frames designed to resist expansion and contraction
- Improved insulation compared to aging units
- Low-maintenance exteriors
- Crisp, consistent sightlines
Beyond performance, the aesthetic upgrade was immediate. The bright white frames and balanced grille patterns complemented the home’s brick and siding, creating a sharper, more intentional exterior appearance.
Why Single-Hung Windows Fit This Home
Window style plays an important role in both day-to-day functionality and overall curb appeal, and for this Clementon property, single-hung windows were a natural fit. With a fixed upper sash and an operable lower sash, this design offers reliable, straightforward operation without unnecessary complexity. Fewer moving parts can also contribute to strong air sealing when the window is professionally installed, helping reduce drafts and improve efficiency.
From the exterior, the traditional proportions of single-hung windows complement the home’s façade, maintaining a classic look that feels appropriate for the neighborhood rather than overly modern or out of place. The clean vertical lines align well with the structure’s architecture, creating a balanced, intentional appearance. In homes like this one, a simple, well-built window style often provides the most practical and long-lasting solution.
Installation Highlights
Proper installation is just as important as the product itself.
Our team carefully removed the existing windows and inspected each opening to ensure it was structurally sound and properly prepared. Adjustments were made where needed to create a tight, weather-resistant fit. Protective coverings were used throughout the process to keep interior spaces clean and disruption minimal. Each window was precisely measured and sealed to ensure long-term performance.
Attention to detail during installation is what helps prevent future air leaks, moisture intrusion, and operational issues.
The Result
With the new Andersen 100 Series windows in place, the difference is both visible and functional.
The home now benefits from:
- Reduced drafts in key living areas
- More consistent indoor temperatures
- Improved natural light clarity
- Smoother everyday operation
- A refreshed, balanced exterior look
The upgrade enhances the home without overpowering its original style — which is exactly what the homeowners wanted.
