When the time comes to replace the windows on your Dayton home, one important factor to consider is the construction material of your window sashes and frames. While wood, vinyl, and aluminum are traditional choices, Fibrex®, an innovative composite material created by Andersen Corporation, offers many advantages over these other options.
Fibrex composite material is very strong. It also resists expansion and contraction with temperature change. So, sashes and frames made from Fibrex can be narrower than those made from wood or vinyl without worry that they’ll crack or peel away from the windows. Narrower sashes mean more room for glass, and the more glass your windows contain, the more natural light can shine into your Dayton home.
Fibrex is made from about 40% reclaimed wood fibers. This reduces the amount of wood waste that goes to landfills. Andersen also regrinds and reuses waste materials generated during the manufacturing process. This makes Fibrex a very sustainable, earth-friendly choice, which may benefit you if you’re trying to meet green building standards or just live a more sustainable life. Fibrex is also a great insulator, reducing the amount of heat that is transferred through your windows. This means lower energy bills during the hot Dayton summers and chilly winters.
You want your new windows to complement your home’s architecture and color scheme. Fibrex windows can do just that. The material comes in an array of colors, from natural oak grain to forest green. You can choose different interior and exterior options to create a custom look. With Fibrex, unlike with natural wood, you don’t have to worry about scraping and re-painting the windows to keep them looking sharp. The material will stay looking sleek and new for decades, and you don’t have to worry about the cost and hassle of repainting or staining.
Fibrex is made from a combination of wood fibers and plastic materials. The plastics keep it from rotting and molding like natural wood window sashes often do. You don’t have to worry if your windows are exposed to some moisture. Resistance to rot and mold makes for a much healthier home since mold growth in windows can lead to allergies and respiratory issues. You don’t have to worry about the hassle of cleaning up with bleach, either.
