Windows are an integral part of your home as they provide natural lighting and ventilation and contribute to your home’s energy efficiency. But even though most modern windows are built to last a long time, there are still instances wherein faulty installation or manufacturer defects could affect their longevity and performance. This is why window warranties are beneficial to homeowners.
Here, Renewal by Andersen® of Spokane shares basic information about our window warranties.
Window Warranties: The Basics
In the window replacement industry, Renewal by Andersen sets itself apart by providing strong warranties consisting of terms that are beneficial to homeowners. Every Renewal by Andersen replacement window and patio door we install comes with a fully transferable limited warranty that covers parts, labor and original installation.
Our Fibrex® frames and glass have a 20-year limited warranty, while the frame, sash and locking mechanism have a 10-year limited warranty. Generally, installations by Renewal by Andersen have a two-year limited warranty. But for installations done in Washington, homeowners can enjoy a lifetime installation warranty.
Transferability
Transferability means your warranty remains intact even if you sell your home. Established window contractors like Renewal by Andersen of Spokane provide this feature on their warranties. If you sell your home within the warranty period, your window warranties will remain in effect. A transferable warranty is great for increasing your home’s value because the next homeowner could still benefit from the remaining warranty coverage.
Warranty Exclusions
Renewal by Andersen window warranties are comprehensive and tailored to the needs of homeowners. Specific circumstances, however, are not covered by these warranties, such as:
- Product modifications or glass shading devices (e.g. glass tinting, security systems, painting or staining, insulated coverings, etc.)
