Wood and vinyl are undoubtedly the most popular window materials on the market. The former is the traditional favorite because of its strength and beauty while the latter is the industry’s new ruler with its affordability. Each option is special in its own right, but either is not without a drawback.
While nothing’s perfect, to say that Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco’s Fibrex® material is close isn’t an exaggeration. Tt combines the best of wood and vinyl without the negatives. Fibrex material is an excellent choice for window replacement because it is…
Strong Like Wood, but Immune to Decay
It’s composed of 40% wood fibers by weight. However, it doesn’t share the weaknesses of genuine lumber. It optimizes a special polymer formulation to coat and surround each individual wood fiber. As a result, it’s completely immune to rot and fungal growth.
Moisture-Resistant Like Vinyl, but Twice More Stable
Compared to pure vinyl products, replacement windows made from Fibrex material are 200% more rigid. They hardly contract and expand with extreme temperature swings, allowing them to remain as weathertight as they did the day they were installed.
Not Naturally Occurring, Yet It’s Sustainable
Fibrex material is a composite, which means it doesn’t grow organically in nature. Despite its artificial nature, our reuse of reclaimed wood has prevented the cutting of about 90 board feet of lumber. In addition to conserving precious, natural resources, recycling unwanted wood has helped divert significant construction waste from fast-congesting landfills.
Available in Dark Colors and Doesn’t Fade
Our innovative extrusion process allows us to permanently apply bold colors to our replacement windows, which are resistant to discoloration. On the contrary, low-quality vinyl products can’t “take the heat” and can’t be repainted.
In the unlikely event that the exterior finish of our Fibrex material fades, our industry-leading guarantee will cover this defect. The fact that we offer numerous dark frame colors and stellar warranty coverage means we stand behind our products.
