You’ve probably heard plenty about vinyl windows over the years, but now there is a new kid on the block. This unique material is known as Fibrex, and it is a one of a kind composite blend used by Renewal by Andersen to improve window strength and performance. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get:
What is Fibrex?
Fibrex windows are made using a special blend of wood fibers and vinyl polymers. It is blended in a roughly 40/60 blend where the majority of the wood material comes from reclaimed and recycled sources, and a portion of the vinyl has also been recycled. As a result, Renewal by Andersen is able to cut down on waste from other products and reduce VOC emissions by using a Fibrex blend that does not require painting.
What Are the Benefits of Fibrex?
Fibrex offers a number of benefits over other window materials. It is extremely low maintenance, so you won’t have to worry about refinishing your windows in the future. In addition, it is much less susceptible to heat and cold. Not only is it resistant to heat transfer into your house, it is also less likely to warp or retract as temperatures change rapidly in Dayton. The finished material is significantly stronger than any other window option, and will not be easily damaged even in extreme weather.
How Much Does It Cost?
Naturally, consumers want to know what they are going to pay for the added benefits of an Earth-friendly, high-efficiency window. Fibrex windows are comparable to high-end vinyl windows. However, they are built to last longer than vinyl windows, so they provide more value to the consumer in the long run. Part of this cost will also be offset by the improvements you see in energy efficiency every single month.With so many great attributes, it’s easy to see why many people are moving away from plain vinyl windows and towards Fibrex composites. If you want a cost-effective way to upgrade your windows and a guarantee that they will stay strong for decades to come, Fibrex is the way to go.
