Did you know that poor indoor air quality is among the top five health hazards in the country? The air that your family breathes could become polluted one way or another. You have to keep an eye on issues and take every measure to maintain good indoor air. A window replacement offers great opportunities to help you prevent stale and unhealthy indoor air. To make your home a healthier place using San Francisco windows, Renewal by Andersen® recommend the following tips:
Put a Premium on Ventilation
Natural ventilation is the best way to freshen up your indoor air and improve its quality. Opening your windows allow fresh drafts to come in and purify your rooms. Other than their location, the style of your units determine how well they can ventilate your space.
To improve the way your home breathes, Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco recommends operating windows, particularly bay and casement. With operable flanker units, the former lets you use the openings to let out stale indoor air. On the other hand, the latter allows a large part of your wall to admit as much fresh outdoor air as possible for maximum ventilation.
Bid Farewell to Painting
A San Francisco window that never needs painting is a health-friendly one. Paint and wood preservative treatments releases volatile organic compounds. These chemicals may cause a host of health conditions, including eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches; and nausea.
At Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco, our products eliminate painting and scraping for good. Our exclusive Fibrex® composite material can retain its rich color for decades without showing signs of wear.
In fact, it will not rot, corrode, rust, flake, blister, peel, pit, and crack for 20 years from its original installation. With Fibrex, you’d never need to use paint to preserve the attractive appearance of your windows and protect them against harsh elements.
Buy an SCS-Certified Product
Building materials evaporate over time and emit toxins in the air through off-gassing. This evaporation process could take years for some products, causing your family to breathe invisible, harmful chemicals night and day without noticing.
Unlike other contractors, only Renewal by Andersen, along with Andersen Corporation, has received the coveted Scientific Certification Systems Indoor Advantage Gold™ certification. It is strictest indoor air emission standard in America. This means that buying Fibrex San Francisco windows is the best way to maintain your good indoor air quality naturally for the years to come.
