Energy efficiency is one of the important factors that homeowners focus on when buying windows. Renewal by Andersen® responds to this demand by making sure that the replacement windows we offer meet energy efficiency standards. Here’s how our Connecticut replacement windows achieve optimal energy performance:
Frames: The Fibrex® Difference
Fibrex® is Renewal by Andersen’s innovation. It is a composite material made of wood fibers and polymer. It combines the strength and elegance of wood with vinyl’s ease of maintenance. Aside from its durability as a framing material, Fibrex is also regarded for its excellent insulating properties. In fact, it is 700 times better than aluminum window frames.
Glass: More Than Meets the Eye
Renewal by Andersen offers replacement windows in Connecticut equipped with advanced glass technology. Our glass options provide unique benefits for cooling, heating, visible light transfer, and ultraviolet protection. The glass used on Renewal by Andersen windows have low-e coating. We apply metal oxide coating to make the surface easier to clean. Meanwhile, the interior surface’s low-e coating allows the glass to keep out the sun’s harmful rays. The low-e coating also maximizes visible light transmission. The glass is also able to keep the heat inside during winter while keeping the sun’s heat outside in summer.
NFRC Ratings: The Real Measure of Efficiency
Renewal by Andersen windows are tested, certified, and verified by the National Fenestration Rating Council. Each of our windows are rated within recommended values for U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient, and visible transmittance.
Installation: Completing the Package
For a replacement window to be energy-efficient, it should be installed well. A window should fit into the opening precisely to provide long-term energy performance and efficiency. You can be sure that we are home to reliable and certified window installers. They are trained to ensure perfect installations.
