What Industry Experts Say About Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey Industry Ratings

We’re proud to publish energy efficiency ratings and awards from independent organizations. Our parent company, Andersen Windows, consistently receives industry recognition (like the Energy Star 2013 Partner of the Year Award for Sustained Excellence) for our commitment to excellence.

While some companies only tell you about their glass ratings, we know that the most accurate ratings, and those that affect your comfort – and your heating bills — consider all components: frame materials, glass and design.

Many frame materials – vinyl, wood and composites – provide insulating properties that impact energy-efficiency. Our exclusive composite material, Fibrex, outperforms other framing materials in several ways. Fibrex offers superior protection against mildew, rot and decay like vinyl, but it has the strength of wood and won’t warp or sag or expand and contract like vinyl.

Based on U-Factor and SHGC comparisons with clear glass and non-metal frame window configurations, Renewal by Andersen windows:

• Are 45 percent more energy-efficient in cold weather months.
• Are 55 percent to 70 percent more efficient in hot summer months.
• Block 84 percent to 97 percent of harmful UV rays that can damage carpets, artwork, upholstery and window treatments.

The exact energy-efficiency increase realized for each Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey replacement window depends on the window size, which Low-E glass option you choose, the window style, and external factors – such as landscaping, the overall condition of your home and the age and performance of home heating and air conditioning systems.
