There are plenty of decisions to be made when selecting replacement windows for your Dayton home. Though the panes you choose are important, frames also make an important impact on the value, style and energy-efficiency of your windows. While vinyl is a popular choice because of its durability and affordability, wood windows offer a beauty that’s tough to beat.
Usually made from materials like pine, wood windows are available in many stains and colors, which is part of their appeal. Wood windows do an excellent job of keeping temperature controlled air inside and shielding Dayton homes from the elements. With all of their benefits, wood windows can be difficult to maintain. These window frames require frequent painting and sealing, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Fortunately, there is a window frame alternative that offers many of the aspects of wood.
The state-of-the-art, patented Fibrex® composite material offered by Renewal by Andersen-Dayton combines all of the style and stability of wood with the ease of vinyl. This special composite material is crafted using real wood fiber. It resists expanding and contracting, even in extreme temperatures. Narrower frames mean a larger glass area for great views from your Dayton home. Because Fibrex is resistant to heat, it is available in darker exterior colors. Fibrex windows do a great job keeping temperature-controlled air inside and the elements out. Combined with low-E windows, they are an extremely energy-efficient option. In fact, Fibrex windows also come with one of the best limited warranties in the industry, making them a great choice for those who appreciate beauty and value. They are also environmentally-friendly and available with specialty windows.
