Windows have come a long way from being mere openings that allowed an extended view of the outdoors. Now they serve as lovely design elements that can define the overall look of your home or preserve its historic accuracy. Most importantly, windows contribute to your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
This, however, will depend on the quality of your windows. To enjoy the benefits of a healthier and more energy-efficient home, turn to Renewal by Andersen® for excellent window replacement in San Francisco. Here are the two ways our window selection can improve your home’s indoor air quality and energy efficiency:
1. We use durable and energy-saving framing materials. Renewal by Andersen® windows have earned the highest Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) certified recycled content of any window replacement company. We use our exclusive Fibrex® composite as window framing material. This consists of 40% clean, reclaimed wood fiber by weight, and combines the strength and insulating properties of wood with the low maintenance value of vinyl. Fibrex also keeps a weather tight seal that prevents both air infiltration and significant energy loss. This means no gaps or cavities where cold drafts can enter and compromise your home’s thermal stability.
2. We augment our Fibrex® frames with advanced glass options. When you turn to us for San Francisco window replacement, you’ll have your choice of advanced glass to go with your new units. This includes our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, which is made from 12% reclaimed glass by weight. It has an innovative coating that helps block harmful UV and IR rays entering your home. This means more comfortable rooms all year round without the high cooling costs.
Renewal by Andersen windows use sustainable materials and undergo an environmentally responsible manufacturing process. When you choose us for your windows replacement in San Francisco, you can keep a healthier home, as our windows don’t emit toxins that result in poor indoor air quality. In fact, Renewal by Andersen and our parent company, the Andersen Corporation, carry the SCS Indoor Advantage Gold™ certification. This distinction is the most stringent indoor air emission standard in the country.
