Acclaim™ Double-Hung Window - Renewal by Andersen

Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window

Classic Style with Modern Performance

The Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window is one of the most popular designs offered by Renewal by Andersen. Its traditional look complements both modern and historic homes, making it an adaptable choice for homeowners across Central Florida, Jacksonville, and Tampa. With a balanced combination of elegance, energy efficiency, and ease of use, it remains a favorite for remodeling projects and new installations alike.

Double-hung windows slide up and down within the frame, which means they never extend outward. This makes them an excellent choice for rooms facing walkways, patios, or decks, as they keep a sleek profile without encroaching on outdoor space. Their versatility makes them equally suitable for historic renovations where authenticity is key or contemporary projects that demand a timeless look.

Built for Effortless Living

Every feature of the Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window is designed with daily use in mind. Spring-powered balancing mechanisms make it simple to open or close either sash without strain. Homeowners appreciate the ability to tilt both sashes inward with one hand, allowing safe and convenient cleaning from inside the home. This tilt-in design also makes it possible to maximize ventilation by opening both the top and bottom sashes at once, improving airflow and comfort.

Superior Comfort and Weather Protection

Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of Renewal by Andersen products, and the Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window delivers. A premium three-piece weatherstripping system, modeled after those found in automobiles, helps create a reliable seal against drafts, rain, and wind. This system not only improves insulation and comfort but can also reduce noise infiltration, adding to the peace of your home. Frames and sashes are crafted with mortise-and-tenon joinery for long-lasting strength. This technique provides a handcrafted look while reinforcing the window against everyday wear and tear. Combined with Fibrex® composite material, the Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window is built to withstand Florida’s harsh weather conditions without warping, rotting, or corroding.

Materials and energy Efficiency

Fibrex® composite material is exclusive to Renewal by Andersen and is engineered to combine the stability of wood with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. This durable frame material ensures seals remain tight over time, helping the window maintain its energy-saving performance for decades.

Paired with ENERGY STAR® certified glass options, Acclaim^® Double-Hung Windows can reduce heating and cooling bills by improving insulation and limiting energy loss. Their strong glass packages also protect against harmful UV rays, helping to preserve the condition of interior furnishings.

Tailored to Your Home

The Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window is available in a wide selection of interior and exterior colors, finishes, and grille designs. Hardware styles and finishes are also customizable, so every detail can be matched to your home’s architecture. Homeowners can choose from three sash profiles and two different check rail styles, making it possible to replicate historic window proportions or achieve a modern, minimal look. Optional TruScene® insect screens provide nearly invisible protection while maintaining a clear view. Made with micro-fine stainless steel mesh, these screens allow fresh air to flow into your home while keeping even the smallest insects outside.

Ideal Placement Throughout the Home

Because they do not open outward, double-hung windows are especially useful in spaces adjacent to high-traffic outdoor areas such as porches, verandas, or garden walkways. They are also a smart option for second-story bedrooms and living rooms, where safe and easy cleaning from inside is a priority. The ability to open the top sash while keeping the bottom closed also provides flexibility in rooms where controlled airflow is important, such as nurseries or kitchens.

Professional Installation and Lasting Protection

Each Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window is custom-built for the exact dimensions of your home and installed by Renewal by Andersen professionals. This ensures a secure fit and preserves both the look and performance of the product. Professional installation also safeguards your warranty, which includes strong coverage on glass, frame, and hardware. With proper installation and Fibrex® durability, homeowners can expect reliable operation and protection for decades.

Long-Term Value

Choosing the Acclaim^® Double-Hung Window is an investment in both comfort and curb appeal. The combination of classic style, proven durability, and energy efficiency adds lasting value to your home. Unlike many traditional wood or vinyl windows, Fibrex® composite requires little maintenance and continues to perform year after year, reducing long-term costs.
