Before, a homeowner’s interest in windows involved only finding the best curtains or other elegant treatments. That is no longer the case in today’s world, however, as homeowners are now looking for ways to make their homes as environment-friendly as possible. For one thing, they want to lower their usage of HVAC units in their homes, and choosing the right kind of windows is a priority for them.
Fortunately, Renewal by Andersen® has a solution for homeowners wanting to attain what is called “green” living. Thanks to the company’s patented Fibrex® composite framing material, it is now possible for them to achieve an eco-friendly home.
It’s All in the Material
Fibrex material is composed of 40% wood fiber by weight and 60% proprietary polymer. The great thing that makes this window frame material eco-friendly is that the wood used to make Renewal by Andersen windows is repurposed to make the new material. Combine the wood fibers with the liquefied polymer and a new material is formed, engineered to be twice as strong and durable as vinyl.
This is why our Fibrex windows meet Green Seal’s science-based environmental certification standards, being the first window company to do so. They also have the blue ENERGY STAR® label indicating that each unit meets the strict energy efficiency criteria set by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Qualities That Make Our Fibrex Windows Energy-Efficient
Another way for homeowners to achieve an eco-friendly home is to focus on energy efficiency. Our double hung windows made with Fibrex make a difference in this regard. The material has excellent thermal insulation qualities that, when combined with our various glass options, helps the home stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Indeed, our Fibrex windows ensure indoor comfort while you save money on your energy bills. Compared to wood, aluminum, fiberglass and vinyl, the composite material is on top in terms of strength, low maintenance and beauty. That’s how energy-efficient and eco-friendly they can get.
