Why Window and Door Sizing Matters More Than You Think
When it comes to upgrading your home, windows and doors might seem like simple components, but getting their sizing right is absolutely critical. At Renewal by Andersen, we understand that precision isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about function, efficiency, comfort, and safety.
Let’s break down why proper size truly matters when it comes to your home’s windows and doors.
Energy Efficiency Starts With a Perfect Fit
Incorrectly sized windows or doors can lead to drafts, heat loss, and higher energy bills. Even the most advanced window technology can’t perform well if the fit is off.
Custom-sized windows and doors:
- Seal perfectly against the frame
- Eliminate air leaks
- Improves insulation during Wisconsin winters and summers.
When every unit is made to measure, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, which can result in long-term savings.
Avoid Costly Structural Modifications
One of the biggest benefits of working with Renewal by Andersen is that we custom-build your replacement windows to fit your existing openings. That means:
- No unexpected wall damage
- No need to modify trim or siding
- Faster, cleaner installation
Bonus: You preserve your home’s architectural integrity while updating it with high-performance materials.
Maximize Natural Light Without Sacrificing Privacy
Size impacts how much light enters your home. Too small, and the rooms feel dark. Too large, and you might feel overexposed.
Our design consultants help you strike the perfect balance between:
- Lighting
- Privacy
- Curb appeal
This is especially important for homes where privacy and daylight both play a big role in comfort.
Safety and Functionality You Can Count On
If a window or door doesn’t open or close properly due to poor sizing, it becomes more than a nuisance; it’s a safety risk.
Properly sized installations ensure:
- Emergency egress in bedrooms
- Reliable locking systems
- Smooth operation for years to come
Our certified installers ensure each window and door meets local building codes and safety standards.
Better Aesthetics = Higher Home Value
Mismatched or awkwardly sized windows can hurt your home’s curb appeal. When sizing is just right, everything looks balanced, modern, and polished, boosting resale value and pride in your home.
