At Renewal by Andersen® of Knoxville, we care about your home’s safety, comfort, appeal and energy efficiency. That’s why we only install high-quality replacement doors and windows for our projects. Choosing us to replace your windows means gaining access to high-quality products, including our exclusive Fibrex® material.
Here are the answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about Fibrex windows.
Designed by Andersen®, Fibrex material is a composite material possessing the strength and stability of wood with the low-maintenance capabilities of vinyl. It is made of 40% natural wood fiber and 60% thermoplastic polymer by weight. Renewal by Andersen installs some of today’s most sustainable replacement doors and windows. We use wood byproducts from our other manufacturing processes for the production of Fibrex. Because of this, we get to offer you savings on your window replacement project.
Fibrex is a composite material that’s easy to mold, resilient and highly durable. Since our vinyl and wood blend can be injection molded, we’re able to offer our windows in a wide range of styles. We can also handle custom window orders in virtually any size or shape.
This material withstands heat comparably better than standard window materials, meaning you can get in darker shades, including black. No matter what your home style is, there is a Fibrex window replacement option for you. You can further elevate the look of your space by pairing your new windows with our high-quality patio doors.
Fibrex has many similar features to vinyl, such as its low-maintenance properties, cost-effectiveness and decay resistance. However, Fibrex exceeds vinyl when it comes to strength and durability. In fact, it is twice as strong as vinyl, giving your home more protection against the elements. Our Fibrex windows are so strong that we can make them in thinner framers. With a more expansive glass area, you get to enjoy more outdoor views, and more natural light will enter your home.
Unlike vinyl, Fibrex won’t expand or contract due to extreme temperature or weather changes. This innovative material stays structurally stable and performs well in all climates. When installed properly by experienced professionals and with regular care, your Fibrex windows can last for decades. It’s just one of the many reasons to choose Renewal by Andersen of Knoxville for your new windows and patio doors.
The natural wood fibers in Fibrex material give it the best characteristics of wood, and it is reinforced with polymer to produce even stronger windows. With Fibrex windows, you’ll get the excellent insulative properties of wood. This material has been demonstrated to insulate up to 700-times better than aluminum. You won’t also need to worry about moisture-related problems that wood is prone to, such as rot and corrosion.
Whether you are getting new sliding doors or casement windows, you must consider warranties. Window replacement can be a significant investment, meaning you want to choose products that are guaranteed to perform well and last long. At Renewal by Andersen of Knoxville, our windows are backed with a 20/2/10 Limited Warranty, one of the strongest in the industry. It includes a 20-year coverage for Fibrex material components, two-year protection against installation errors, and a 10 year-coverage for non-glass parts of the unit.
One of the best benefits you can get from Fibrex windows is savings on your energy costs. Through the most extreme weather conditions, the seal of Fibrex windows will not break. As it minimizes the likelihood of air leaks, it can help excessive energy consumption, lowering your monthly expense.
We also offer energy-efficient glass packages that can cut down your utility bills.
